Travel back to the bygone era of steam travel for a trip through the High Weald countryside, and complement your day out with dinner and a night away, with this One Night Break with Dinner and Steam Train Trip on the Spa Valley Railway for Two.
Aboard a heritage steam train, you’ll journey through five miles of picturesque Kent and Sussex greenery en route to Royal Tunbridge Wells. The railway has a destination at every station and you’re welcome to hop off as you please at any of the stops along the way, so you can explore Eridge, Groombridge, High Rocks or Royal Tunbridge Wells throughout.
Once you’ve had your fill of scenery, you can head to the Mercure Tunbridge Wells Hotel, where a delicious dinner awaits at The Mallows Restaurant. Enjoy a £50 shared dinner allowance to use as you like across the menu. In the morning, you can tuck into a full English to set you up for the day.
Hopping aboard at the Spa Valley Railway, you’ll head out on your steam and heritage diesel-powered adventure through the High Weald countryside. You can hop off and explore along the way, there’s plenty to see with a destination at every station.
Your dinner, night and following day’s breakfast will be found in the Mercure Tunbridge Wells Hotel, just a short drive from the railway, so just arrive any time after check-in opens to drop your bags in your room and head to the hotel restaurant with a £50 shared dinner allowance to use across starters, mains, desserts and drinks. In the morning, enjoy a cooked or continental breakfast before checking out and taking your journey home.
