Pack a bag you're going
to lovely Leadenham on an
overnight polo break for
two! Your destination for
this midweek short break
is the Polo Club at
Leadenham a sleepy little
village in the heart of
Lincolnshire. Over the
two days you'll be
learning and having lots
of fun playing polo.
James Reeve who grew up
in the area created this
charming polo club. A lot
was invested to ensure
the polo field is of the
highest possible quality
(and when you see the
perfectly manicured turf
you'll see what we mean)
making it a great club.
Along with colleagues Rob
and Lydia this venue is
run as a polo club polo
school and events venue.
You'll be a guest in the
Manor House the Grade II
listed stone-built
traditional farmhouse in
the heart of the estate
which offers homely and
comfortable accommodation
to pupils enrolled on the
two day polo course.
Breakfast is included as
is a BBQ on your full day
of polo training. There
are also several country
pubs in the vicinity for
evening meals. But back
to the polo. These
courses are designed for
those who have no polo
experience as well as
appealing to those who
are already confident on
a horse. You'll be taught
all the skills you need
to strike the polo ball
the necessary horse
riding techniques and how
to play. We have to say
the Argentinian ponies
are all super responsive
and totally unflappable
and before long you'll be
cantering with
confidence. Having
enjoyed a full day of
training you'll be able
to make the most of the
tennis court the croquet
lawn and (best of all!)
the outdoor hot tub at
the Manor House. All a
great way to relax after
a day in the saddle.
After your breakfast the
next day there's one more
session out on the polo
field where you'll get to
grips with playing a mini
polo match. It's exciting
energetic and superb fun
all with a friendly
atmosphere. An overnight
polo break at this
wonderful equestrian
centre in picturesque
Lincolnshire village is a
great break away with a
difference - and remember
no polo or horse riding
experience is needed!

Take in the British
Airways i360 and the
Royal Pavilion on this
best value Brighton Break
for two! There's never
been a better time to
discover Brighton with
it's lovely little lanes
bars and restaurants
beaches architecture and
more.What's great about
these short breaks in
sunny Brighton is that
everything is organised
for you. Your package
includes Brighton
Pavilion tickets and a
flight on the British
Airways i360 so you've
got the best of
Brighton's
sightseeing covered
already. Add to that a
night in a classic
Brighton hotel and you've
got yourself a super
little seaside getaway
weekend.The Hilton
Metropole Hotel is right
on the Brighton seafront.
In fact it couldn't be
better placed as it's
literally just behind the
i360 across the road from
the main promenade
alongside the beach. It's
an imposing red-brick
building that still has
many of the vestiges of a
Grand Hotel from the
Victorian era. There are
the floor-to-ceiling
arched windows the
chandeliers and the
elegant staircases that
all hark back to the
glamour of the period.The
main 1890@The Met
restaurant is in that
imposing dining room and
this is where you'll take
breakfast which is
included in these
Brighton short break
packages. And what a
spread it is. There are
over 120 different items
are on the menu from
cereals and cured meats
to full English and
continental as well as
made-to-order omelettes
and a number of different
breads. Make sure you
tuck in as you've got a
busy day ahead of you!As
we mentioned your hotel
is just across the road
from the i360 so this
could be your first port
of call. It's a simple
idea really you board a
glass donut-shaped pod
and then glide upwards to
about 450ft stop for
while and then head back
down again. Once
'airborne' in the
spacious air-conditioned
pod you can roam around
as there's plenty of room
drink in the views take
photos and look down on
bustling Brighton and her
coastline.We also provide
entrance tickets to the
Brighton Pavilion which
is a pleasant 15 minutes'
walk away from your
hotel. You will probably
recognise this former
Royal palace with its
striking domes and
minarets. Outside there
are stunning Regency
gardens to wander around
and inside it's all about
the opulent decoration
the highlight of which
has to be the banqueting
room. There are also vast
collections of art works
and silverware for you to
explore.Of course there's
lots more besides the
i360 and the Pavilion to
discover in Brighton with
shopping nightlife and
the beaches. That's why
staying the night on
these Brighton breaks is
such a good idea - you
can shop see walk and eat
until you flop into your
bed for the night - but
not without a quick dip
in the Metropole's
swimming pool!

spacious lodges that
sleep six complete with a

for anyone to crash on a
sofa bed. And there's
even a kitchenette
equipped with the things
you need to keep the
troupes fed and watered
with space for you all to
sit down and eat at the
table together. The key
to these breaks is where
these lodges are located.
You're in the New Forest
National Park proper
nestled in the grounds of
Grade I listed building
Avon Tyrell. This
imposing Arts & Crafts
style mansion was built
as a 'calendar house'
that's to say 365 windows
12 chimneys 52 rooms
seven main doors and four
wings. It has a
fascinating history and
is the centre piece of
this 65 acre estate
totally dedicated to
outdoor activities and
personnel development
specifically aimed at
teens. Whilst you will be
lodged in a quiet corner
with just seven wood
cabins in total there are
plenty of things for all
ages to enjoy in and
around this New Forest
estate. Free activities
include the trim trails
woodland paths bouldering
wall the kids playground
and outdoor shelters.
Payable locally you can
book in for an archery
session hire bikes go

ropes learn about
bushcraft build a raft
build a shelter or scare
yourself silly on a zip
wire. If you fancy
getting out on the water
there's a delightful
boathouse and lake with
pedalos kayaks canoes and
even fishing spots too.
There's even an outdoor
swimming pool that's
heated and open between
April and October so if
you time your trip to
Avon Tyrrell right you
might be able to go for a
dip too. In essence this
is a break for active
bunnies. And yes you're
in the middle of the New
Forest but all lodges
have access to wifi
there's a reception and
shop too with a cafe that
opens seasonally so
you're not completely cut
off from the world. And
with so much to do on the
estate and Highcliffe
beach just seven miles
away we think this is a
great place do have fun
and try some new outdoor
activities hosted by the

Go truly off the beaten
track on an offroading
break near Swansea! These
adventure weekends in
Wales combine a one or
two night cabin stay in
the peace and quiet of
the Welsh countryside
with some native 4x4
driving on superb
terrain. Quite possibly
the perfect blend of
action and relaxation for
a countryside retreat.
This part of Wales not
far from Swansea was what
4x4 vehicles were made
for. It's their natural
habitat. This is where
proper four wheel drive
vehicles work for a

windswept valleys
assisting everyone from
farmers and the fire
brigade to electricity
workers and mountain
rescue teams. Round these
parts the 4x4s aren't
expected just to do the
school run… What we
love about this 4x4 break
is that Swansea and the
surrounding area has so
much to offer for a
weekend of activities.
The highlight of which
has to be the one hour of
private 4x4 off road

Soak up those sunset
views of the vines on a
Three Choirs vineyard
break for two! Spend a
night at one of England's
leading vineyards in the
Cotswolds. Superb views
in a peaceful setting
combine with a wine
tasting and tour for a
fabulous break away for
two on a room with
breakfast basis. Three
Choirs is one of the
largest and oldest
vineyards in the country.
Already really popular
with visitors the winery
team was always being
asked about accommodation
at Three Choirs. Time and
time again visitors were
saying that they'd love
to stay - so that's what
the owners have done!
Described as a
'restaurant with rooms'
rather than a hotel the
Three Choirs vineyard
welcomes guests to stay
in the heart of this
unique winery setting.
There a just eight rooms
and each one offers a
balcony with gorgeous
views out over the rows
and rows of vines. Very
comfortably furnished
with all the modern
amenities you could wish
for it's a great place to
spend the night. And of
course you're right on
site ready for
discovering the world of
wine. Once you've checked
in and made yourself at
home for your midweek
break it's time to get
exploring Three Choirs.
We can highly recommend
an afternoon stroll in
and around the vines
along the vineyard trail
with nature and wildlife
at every turn. Wander
through glorious natural
habitats where flora and
fauna thrive. See if you
can spot the nesting
boxes for the hedgehogs
or the teeny ones for the
ladybirds. Continue your
very pleasant walk past
the ponds and the stream
and you might well
encounter foxes owls
rabbits and badgers too.
Back at the winery it's
the perfect time to
embark on your wine
tasting at the 'Cellar
Door'. Here you'll learn
all about the wine that's
made at Three Choirs -
and it really is very
good. We think it's the
perfect prelude to a
dinner in the Brasserie
which is open in the
evening should you wish
to book a table for the
evening of your stay. All
done at a very leisurely
pace we think this Three
Choirs vineyard break is
just great. The idea of
relaxing at a vineyard
drinking wine and
learning about how it's
made without having to
think about heading off
back home that same day
is a real bonus. It means
you make the most of your
accommodation in the most
wonderful setting
accompanied by lots of
delicious wine!
