This November, “The People’s Friend” is inviting readers to join us for a four-night festive break at Warner Leisure Hotels Cricket St Thomas Hotel, Somerset.
If you’re thinking about coming, why not have read through some of our readers’ comments about our last short break?
Our 150th Birthday Bash was held in Alvaston House Hotel in lovely Cheshire earlier this summer.
Here’s what our readers had to say
It was fantastic. Thank you! It’s the first time I have been on holiday on my own since my partner died in Dec 2017. I was nervous about coming but it’s been brilliant. I loved it.
Chef Christof prepared some wonderful meals for me. I have a dairy and gluten-free diet and had full confidence the meals were free of these ingredients.
Lovely to see the team being so interactive and ‘available’, not just at specific times and events but even making a lovely cup of tea! I feel part of an ‘extended’ team now when I read the magazine.
I think one effect of the weekend will be the magazine becoming ‘personalised’ to me, it will no longer be just a good friend, there will be a connection to people I have talked to and heard speaking.
Thoroughly enjoyed it! First time I have ever been on holiday on my own and I only did this because it was a “Friend” holiday. Thank you.
It has been so interesting to meet the members of the team and realise how important an understanding of their readers is to them. I now have a sense of belonging to a community.
The staff could not be more helpful and friendly, being disabled this is more noticeable.
Just a wonderful relaxing, social and welcome break. The venue was excellent with plenty of choice on menus and in the daily agenda. I’ll go again. Thanks.
Look forward to meeting the lovely People’s Friend staff at Cricket St Thomas in November. I can’t wait!
