Nutfield Priory Hotel Health Club and Spa Weekend, Surrey – Hand Picked Hotels

A weekend at Nutfield Priory Hotel and Spa - Hand Picked Hotels

Disclosure: We were invited on this break for the purpose of this review however all opinions are my own.

Last weekend I was invited to Nutfield Priory Hotel and Spa along with a friend to enjoy a spa break and much needed relaxation in the Surrey countryside. It’s not too far from London Gatwick airport and Redhill. We arrived at lunchtime to find plenty of free parking and were impressed with the beautiful gothic facade of the hotel and even more impressed that our room was ready for us – a couple of hours before the official check in time.

Earlier this week Lauren and I went to Needham House hotel for a little break away. It’s situated just outside Stevenage in Hertfordshire and is really easily accessible from London and the home counties. We arrived in the early afternoon, parked easily and loved how secluded the hotel felt although we had only turned off the A1 minutes earlier!

A Family Bath Mini-Break to visit The Roman Baths

A Mini-Break in Bath to visit The Roman Baths

Disclosure: We were invited on this break for the purpose of this review however all opinions are my own.

We started off half term with a family friendly Bath mini break on a self catering holiday, to one of my favourite places in the UK. We haven’t really explored Bath with the children before so it was great to go on a city break and do things we wouldn’t usually do – with the main focus of our trip being to visit The Roman Baths, somewhere I hadn’t been since I was LP’s age.

Review: Brooklands Hotel Spa

A few days ago a friend and I were invited for a spa day at the Brooklands Hotel. It’s a hotel I have always been familiar with but have never been to, knowing that it’s right next door to the Mercedes Benz World and opposite the Mercedes test track.

We love exploring the UK as a family and finding family friendly places to stay. When we went to Wales to visit The Royal Mint Experience, we stayed at the Mercure Cardiff Holland House Hotel and Spa for the night. I didn’t know much about the hotel before we arrived but we were able to park underneath the hotel, with plenty of availability for just £12 for the night and checked in easily.

We really enjoy exploring more of the UK and finding family friendly hotels to stay at during our adventures.

The Novotel is situated close to West Quay shopping centre and also Southampton Docks – so a great base for both travel and entertainment.

Mark Warner Lemnos – A Family Holiday

When our Thomas Cook summer holiday was cancelled three weeks before we were due to fly out in August we looked everywhere for something of the same spec for a similar price and couldn’t find anything. In the end we booked a holiday to the Mark Warner Lemnos resort out of sheer desperation. We read reviews before and we hoped that sacrificing two weeks for one and all inclusive for full board wouldn’t affect our holiday experience too much. We were just so pleased to have something booked and couldn’t wait to fly out. There isn’t such a thing as Mark Warner all inclusive and full board is as all inclusive as it gets.

Homewood Park Hotel and Spa Review

There is nothing like a spa break with a good friend and when I was invited to stay at the Homewood Park Hotel and Spa I took Hayley along too. Homewood Park is just outside of Bath and situated in beautiful countryside. When I walked from the car to the hotel it felt so lovely and peaceful, I couldn’t wait to get inside.
