We’ve all heard of a honeymoon, but mini-moons straight after your wedding to give you more time to plan the ultimate getaway are what it’s all about in 2017. Here are five of the Good Hotel Guide’s recommended hotels for mini-moons from their collection of romantic hotels…
Five hotels for mini-moons
Langar Hall
Langar
A linden avenue leads to this apricot-washed Georgian mansion in parkland, beside St Andrew’s
church in a Vale of Belvoir village, with a river running through.
Cliveden House
Taplow
As you approach this glorious Italianate Thames-side summer palace designed by Charles Barry and set in 376 acres of National Trust grounds, it ‘feels as if you are on the film set of Pride and Prejudice’, says a Guide insider (see also Chewton Glen, New Milton).
Burgh Island Hotel
Bigbury-on-Sea
This decadent Art Deco grande dame, set on its own tidal island, ‘harks back to a more glamorous age’, and a recent refurbishment has been given the thumbs up by faithful regulars.
Newforge House
Magheralin
In mature gardens and 50 acres of pasture on the edge of the village, Louise and John Mathers’s creeper-clad Georgian mansion is an elegant home from home.
The Old Railway Station
Petworth
Built in 1892 to enable the Prince of Wales to travel to Goodwood Racecourse, Petworth’s railway station has been ‘lovingly restored’ into a ‘remarkable’ B&B.
