The White Swan Alnwick

The hotel was stunning but all the bedrooms were on the upper floors with no lift.
The food choice was very poor and limited, especially if you are not a meat eater. The food was luke warm at the evening meal and breakfast.
The bed was extremely uncomfortable, we took our own mattress topper which helped soften it up a bit.
The staff were very helpful at all times.

Perfect great little breaks

Great Little break is perfect as it selects lots of different places, gives you a good description of the locations and what is included in the whole package, good value and money well spent. Once you have decided on your choice it is straight forward and simple to book then just relax and enjoy.

Just returned from The Heights Hotel on…

Just returned from The Heights Hotel on the Isle of Portland organised by Leah from Great Little Breaks. Yet again another memorable holiday. The views from the Hotel were breathtaking looking down on Chesil Bank and Portland Harbour with Weymouth Harbour in the background. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend.

Overnight Stay at the Skipton Hotel

Lovely overnight stay at this traditional and comfortable hotel. Great location on the outskirts of Skipton - we walked into the town along the canal path. Spacious room and super meal in the conservatory restaurant overlooking the canal and countryside. Good breakfast and overall a very enjoyable stay.
