BattleProms at Highclere…

The event was most enjoyable & location perfect.
The picnic included was not very good & not sufficient sadly.
The hotel was comfortable & staff busy but pleasant.
The breakfast was rather hectic as there was only one coffee machine & no separate hot water available.

Lovely mini-break in Harrogate

Had a really lovely couple of nights away in Harrogate, courtesy of Great Little Breaks, via the Daily Telegraph. The Majestic Hotel was excellent and the package included dinner in the hotel on the first night which, again, was excellent. It also included entry to the RHS gardens at Harlow Carr that are well worth a visit. Overall, the deal was a great offer and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Great value for money too!

Excellent Admin and Clear Joining Instructions

The price and all the arrangement for meals and visit went without a hitch.

The only slight niggle was the quality of the evening meal and lack of variety at breakfast for those who did not want a cooked full English.

Great Break and Great Value

The Great Little Breaks booking system was simple and easy to use and confirmation was quickly received. Real people were available to answer any questions and the designated hotel and the tour (High Clere Castle) were very good value. I would certainly use GLB again.
