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
Cliveden House
Taplow
Redolent of its sometimes racy past, this veritable palazzo, designed by Sir Charles Barry in 1850 for the Duke of Sutherland, sits in National Trust pleasure grounds above the Thames.
Burgh Island Hotel
Bigbury-on-Sea
Pack your Schiaparelli gowns, beach pants and playsuits, and board the 'sea tractor' for a trip back to the 1930s at this Art Deco hotel on a tidal island where the beau monde came to play.
Langar Hall
Langar
Everything is peachy at this apricot-hued Georgian country house in the Vale of Belvoir, at the end of a long avenue of lime trees, transformed from a family home into a delightful, idiosyncratic and much-loved hotel.
The Old Railway Station
Petworth
One of Britain’s prettiest disused stations is today an excellent B&B, with bedrooms in the station building and restored Pullman coaches, cream teas served in the waiting room or on the platform, while breakfast is truly first class.
Newforge House
Magheralin
There is a happy sense of continuity at this classic Georgian country house, where sixth-generation owners Louise and John Mathers have been welcoming guests since 2005.
