National Parks & Coastal Breaks

What did you get up to? Arrived at the venue which was really easy to find, they had two big car parks which was free of charge to use. We were greeted by a friendly gentleman in their bar/restaurant, and 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. What did you enjoy the most? We loved how friendly the staff were at the venue – it really makes a different to your break!

The perfect night away! For our break we stayed at Dale Farm House, a lovely, quaint B&B situated in the picturesque New Forest. 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 and there was lots to choose from. We both went for the full English breakfast which was cooked fresh using produce sourced locally. The food was delicious and the portion was huge, the perfect way to start our day before exploring all the New Forest has to offer. All in all we had a fantastic night away and couldn’t have asked for better accommodation or friendlier hosts. I would definitely recommend Dale Farm House and can’t wait for our next visit here.
