The trend for UK honeymoons and staycations is on the rise. Here’ s how to spend your post-wedding break right here in Kent
There’ s no denying that getting married is one of the happiest and most magical days of your life. But, the day itself can also be tiring – months, or even years of planning have gone into making everything perfect.
So, after the big day is over, you deserve a break. Some couples choose to travel to far-flung destinations, but UK honeymooning is on the rise, with newlyweds choosing to stay closer to home and embrace sustainable staycation options.
With this in mind, here’ s some of Kent’ s most incredible places to honeymoon in after you’ ve tied the knot.
Chilston Park Chilston Park in Lenham isn’ t just a wedding venue, it’ s also a classic British country house hotel with stunning period rooms and suites, boasting four poster beds, roll-top baths and stunning views out over Chilston’ s manicured gardens and beyond.
During your stay, enjoy fine dining in the hotel’ s 2 AA Rosette restaurant, or toast to your future with a private dining experience. www. handpickedhotels. co. uk / chilstonpark
