Make Mother’s Day 2023 one to remember with a special treat of a well-deserved getaway at one of Daniel Thwaites’ charming four and five-star inns.

Sunday night breaks

Beat the Monday blues and escape for a Sunday night getaway this Mother’s Day.

Check-in, unwind and enjoy a glass of wine (or two) before heading out to explore the local area. After a busy day sightseeing, nestle down in the inn’s award-winning restaurant before slipping off for a cosy night’s sleep. Small details make a big difference, which is why Daniel Thwaites ensures every room comes with a few little extras including deliciously crumbly biscuits and fresh milk for a morning brew.

Whether it’s a city break to The Judge’s Lodging in York, or a countryside retreat to The Fleece in Cirencester, there’s a destination to suit everyone.

Based on two people sharing, prices for a one-night Sunday getaway start from £115 per person. *Prices may vary.

Sunday lunch

Traditionally, Sunday is a day of rest, so it makes perfect sense to let the inn’s team of chefs do all the hard work. Whether it’s a quick re-fuel after a ramble over the Yorkshire Dales or part of a longer staycation, Sunday lunch always proves a winner.

Guests can share a fantastic dining experience, packed full of tempting flavours and locally sourced ingredients. The thoughtfully curated offering includes a choice of different cuts and of course, they have all the traditional trimmings, from homemade Yorkshire puddings to a medley of seasonal vegetables. Finally, honour the occasion with a complimentary glass of their finest champagne– what better way to spend Mother’s Day?

*Available in selected properties and pre-booking required. *Prices and ingredients may vary.

Afternoon tea

Sweeten up the day with a showstopping afternoon tea. Indulge in sumptuous flavours such as smoked salmon, Marie Rose prawns, and mozzarella with pesto sandwiches, followed by a unique selection of decadent desserts including summer berry Victoria sponge, coconut macaroons and trio of chocolate mousse. 

Served daily from 12pm to 5pm.
