Guests can unwind in lovely gardens by a courtyard pond, savour internationally inspired fare in the Mallows Restaurant, or relax with a drink in the inviting Oast Bar.

Your Itinerary

Discover the historic beauty of Canterbury, where centuries of heritage unfold along winding cobbled streets and timber-framed buildings. Visit the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important religious buildings in England, where soaring stone arches and stunning stained glass tell stories of faith, royalty, and pilgrimage. After exploring the cathedral precincts, enjoy time at leisure to wander the charming city centre, browse independent shops, or relax in a riverside café beside the gentle flow of the River Stour.

Continue your journey to the seaside city of Brighton, where colourful culture meets classic coastal charm. Stroll along the famous Brighton Pier, breathe in the fresh sea air, and enjoy views across the sweeping pebble beach. Explore the quirky lanes filled with boutique shops, street art, and cosy tearooms, or simply soak up the lively atmosphere of this much-loved resort. Whether you choose shopping, sightseeing, or a peaceful walk along the promenade, Brighton offers something for everyone.

Step back in time with a ride on the Spa Valley Railway, a charming heritage steam line running through the beautiful Kent countryside. Settle into vintage carriages as the steam engine gently pulls you through rolling landscapes and wooded valleys, evoking the romance of Britain’s golden age of rail travel. This relaxing journey provides the perfect countryside contrast to the city and coast. (Entrance included)
