Great Little Breaks (www.greatlittlebreaks.com) specialises in great-value short breaks across the UK – plus a London & Paris Break too – complete with special little extras across a huge range of getaways. And there’s just one eye-catching price that includes everything… from rail travel and accommodation, to meals with drinks, plus attractions, theatre tickets and much more… with huge added-value options throughout.
Booking a UK break can be a frustrating experience; from finding a suitable hotel and searching for local restaurants and attractions, to planning how to get there – trying to arrange a simple weekend away, when the different pieces of the experience just won’t come together, can be exasperating.
With Great Little Breaks, it’s just one website and a huge world of possibilities – a single-click solution. And the only conundrum you’ll have is ‘how on earth do I choose?’ (To which the simple answer is, ‘why not book several short breaks so that you’ve always got something to look forward to?’…!)
Relax in the countryside, escape to the coast, soak up the history of a stately home or discover a new city; Great Little Breaks offer getaways in a plethora of different collections, from glorious gardens across the UK to castle hotels, and from theatre breaks (hotel included) to walking breaks for those looking to discover the best of the UK’s coast or countryside. Even better, new ideas for special breaks are added continuously throughout the year.
Established in 2011, Great Little Breaks has long-established partnerships with theatres, ticket and attraction providers – and, with its impressive portfolio of hotels, empowers consumers to book from a choice of hundreds of deals that include travel by car or rail, hotel accommodation, theatre tickets, entrance to heritage sites, spa treatments, and an array of other added extras, from afternoon tea to dinner – all for astonishingly great-value prices. And every Great Little Break experience includes added extras, a price-promise guarantee and the security of booking with an ABTA-bonded operator.
“We pride ourselves in adding a little something extra to every break”, comments Diana Evans, Managing Director. “Perhaps a complimentary three-course dinner and a glass of fizz on your first night; a cream tea on arrival, or a bottle of wine in your room. It’s these little surprises and magical touches along the way that truly set Great Little Breaks apart!”
Great Little Breaks works with hundreds of privately-owned hotels, as well as hotel groups – and, thanks to outstanding relationships, many of its special offers are exclusive to Great Little Breaks, and cannot be found elsewhere. The portfolio offers a huge variety of options, from simple B&Bs to somewhere more indulgent – perhaps such as The Lugger Hotel, Cornwall, amongst many others. There’s something to suit everyone.
Choose a Great Little Heritage Break and explore some of the UK’s most awe-inspiring landmarks, such as Blenheim Palace (two nights from just £155 pp, two sharing, including accommodation on a B&B basis, tickets to the palace, a cream tea on arrival and dinner on the first night). Or how about a trip to Bletchley Park (two nights from £169 pp, two sharing, including accommodation on a B&B basis, tickets to Bletchley Park, dinner on the first night and late check-out)? Bletchley Park is the secret wartime code-breaking centre featured in Oscar-nominated film The Imitation Game – adults and children alike will be fascinated to learn how the wartime mathematicians broke the complex German codes and helped Britain and her allies to win the Second World War.
For those with an interest in gardens, explore the scenic grounds and rustic woodlands at the RHS Garden Harlow Carr, in Yorkshire (two nights from £143.50 pp, two sharing, including accommodation on a B&B basis, dinner on the first night and two tickets to RHS Garden Harlow Carr), or enjoy a short break to discover the beautiful ever-changing landscapes of Trentham Gardens, in Cheshire (two nights from £176.50 pp, two sharing, including accommodation on a B&B basis, two tickets to Trentham Gardens, a three course dinner with wine on both evenings and a late check-out).
On a Great Little Country Break, discover the best of the British countryside, from the craggy hills of the Peak District to the charming, picturesque villages of The Cotswolds. Explore the rich heritage and wildlife of Tatton Park in Cheshire (two nights from £176.40 pp, two sharing, including accommodation on a B&B basis, two Totally Tatton tickets, three-course dinners with wine on both evenings, and a late check-out), or step into centuries of history and enchantment at Alnwick Castle and Gardens, the second-largest inhabited castle in England, set in the unspoiled landscapes of Northumberland (two nights from £195 pp, two sharing, including cream tea on arrival, two-course dinner on both nights and two tickets to Alnwick Castle).
Escape from the outside world with a Great Little Theatre Break, and craft the perfect getaway based around the latest must-see London shows – from TINA (The Tina Turner Musical) to ABBA Voyage – and there are plenty of long-running classics to enjoy too.
The latest exclusive deal to launch on Great Little Breaks is the Gloucestershire Railway Adventure (two nights from £137.50 pp, two sharing, including accommodation on a B&B basis, bottle of wine in the room on arrival, dinner on the first night, two Rover Day passes for GWSR and late check-out), exploring the Cotswolds Countryside on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway, leaving from Cheltenham Race Course and travelling to the delightful Cotswold stone village of Broadway (and back), with plenty to do and see on arrival.
