Congratulations - Experience Day Voucher

What did you get up to? From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we were treated like someone special, the owners Chris and Peter were so friendly and helpful, they really couldn’t do enough for us! The B&B was beautiful and set in a very rural area, but was well sign posted and easy to find. On arrival, we were given a warm welcome by Chris who checked us in. She showed us around the B&B, the gardens and made sure we knew where everything was and what time breakfast would be served in the morning. We were recommended an array of places to eat dinner nearby, as well as local takeaway restaurants if we preferred a night in with a glass of wine. The B&B had a beautiful garden area with plenty of places to sit and soak up the atmosphere and the bedroom we stayed in was cosy and comfortable. Our bedroom was on the ground floor and the front door was kept unlocked so we could go in and out as we pleased and the bed itself was really comfortable, so we both had a great night’s sleep! Breakfast was served the following morning between 8am-9:30am. We both went for the full English breakfast. What did you enjoy the most? We loved the breakfast as it was cooked fresh using produce sourced locally and set us up for our day of exploring all the New Forest has to offer. The food was delicious and the portion was huge!

Arrived at the venue which was really easy to find, they had two big car parks which was free of charge to use. We entered the venue to be greeted by a friendly gentleman in their bar/restaurant, we handed our voucher in and was taken to our en-suite room. The room was really clean and tidy, it had a large bathroom and they had even shaped the towels on the bed into elephants which I thought was a lovely touch. We dropped our bags and went and explored the seaside town, got some delicious fish and chips and sat on the beach. The bed was extremely comfy, the room had tea and coffee making facilities, the hotel also has free Wi-Fi for guests to use. After a great night’s sleep we woke up early and went for breakfast, which was absolutely delicious, great quality food. We decided to stay in Margate for the day and enjoy more of the seaside. If your big kids like myself and my partner then go and enjoy Dreamland, Margate – lots of fun for both adults and children.

What did you get up to? The whole experience was so smooth, and I received amazing customer service from start to finish! A member of staff immediately greeted us, took our coats, and gave us a choice of seats. We choose to sit facing the harpist, and the seats were very comfy – they even had pillows! We were given the menu and the waiter explained a brief history about the hotel whilst he poured our champagne. There was a choice of all different teas and we were allowed to keep trying different types. After we were settled with our tea, the food arrived. The sandwiches were so good we asked for another round (which was included in the voucher!!), the scones were dainty but perfect, and the sweets were incredible! Everything was so professional and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Although the waiter did say we could upgrade to bottomless sparkling wine for an extra £15, we were not pushed to buy this and there was no pressure to purchase anything extra. Overall a beautiful experience and I would definitely visit again without a doubt! What did you enjoy the most? Upon entering the Palm Court Restaurant, we were immediately in awe of the beautiful Art Deco features and the soothing sound of the harpist.

What did you get up to? My Mum and I went to the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane Hotel for our Champagne Afternoon Tea. The staff were very welcoming upon arrival, promptly seating us and soon after we were each poured a glass of refreshing Moet and Chandon Champagne. We were given the choice of a non-vegetarian or vegetarian Afternoon tea and asked to select a tea, which took some time to decide as there were over 20 different types! I went for the Wild Cherry flavour which was lovely. We were served a Platinum Jubilee themed Afternoon Tea in this adorable cage of tiered plates, which had a selection of delicious sandwiches, scones & different mini cakes. We enjoyed every part of the Afternoon Tea and didn’t leave a crumb behind! What did you enjoy the most? Getting to share this experience and spend time with my Mum was very special. One of our experience highlights were the scones – they were still warm by the time we ate them and with the preserves & clotted cream, it was a very tasty combination. I also enjoyed the Platinum Jubilee theme of the Afternoon Tea because it added a unique feel to the experience. The restaurant was very sophisticated and provided a very pleasant atmosphere to enjoy our Afternoon Tea. The Hotel itself was very easy to get to from Kings Cross– approximately 15-20 minutes in total, allowing for underground travel & walking time.
