Hands up, who else is desperate for a little weekend away? We’re tired, we’re ready for some rest and relaxation and we’re counting down the days for spring, so what if we told you that some of Kent’s best hotels are offering great value and even discounts on short breaks and weekends away to help add a little spring in your step? From luxury stays with some all-too-tempting offers, to beach-side breaks, and great value spa breaks, it’s time to book yourself in for a little treat.
Hythe Imperial
A sea breeze, fresh seafood, a luxury spa…yes, a stay at Hythe Imperial will do us nicely. Each of the rooms here is uniquely styled, ranging from cosy to decadent, sea view and garden view, and even cottage-style suites, but what we really love is that it’s just a pebble’s throw from the beach. Book a winter escape for two and you and your partner will get a bottle of prosecco, breakfast for two, a discounted dinner and full use of the leisure facilities; have you seen that pool – pure bliss.
Best Western Premier Dover Marina Hotel
Set right on the seafront, Best Western Premier Dover Marina Hotel offers big views, fine food and luxurious stays. Dine in Mr White’s English Chophouse, yes, Mr White as in Marco Pierre White, sip cocktails in the Waterfront Bar, and relax in the Spa and Health Club for the perfect well-being staycation. Better yet, Best Western Premier's range of packages, from the Romantic Retreat and the Seaside Solution, to the Marina Spa Package, are a great way to build your perfect escape for less.
The Clifton Hotel Folkestone
Another seaside staycation, Folkestone is one of our favourite spots for a cultural break. Enjoy views paired with street food on the Harbour Arm, see the Folkestone Artworks along the seafront, all before settling in for the Cheers and Chill package at the Clifton Hotel. Your stay includes breakfast and a three-course meal, with a glass of fizz at the Marco Pierre White Restaurant, making it the perfect great value getaway.
Port Lympne
With its luxury accommodation, fine dining options and access to the 600 acres wildlife reserve, a stay at Port Lympne offers so much more than just an accommodation option. This idyllic retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offers a variety of unique accommodation in the heart of the park, surrounded by 900 rare and endangered animals. Relax and recharge with friends and family in luxury timber lodges, cosy heated glamping pods and restful treehouses, basking in the amber glow of a firepit and stargazing amidst the distant sounds of the neighbouring wildlife.
Leeds Castle
We’re continuing with the luxe theme with Leeds Castle’s beautiful accommodation options, set in the heart of the castle grounds. What makes this stay even more enticing is the dinner, bed and breakfast offer for Stable Courtyard and Maiden’s Tower, which includes a stay in one of the deluxe rooms, breakfast, plus a two-course dinner in the Castle View restaurant with guaranteed views across to that fairy-tale castle. And because this feature is all about those additional touches, it only makes sense that this stay offers access to those magnificent grounds after the gates have closed for the day – talk about added value.
