Your Gorgeous Weekends...
"Thank you for helping me arrange the outside dining experience for my friend [at Jollydays Campsite]. Wow, what an evening. Absolutely everything was perfect. I would go as far as to say it was even better that we thought it would be. The attention to detail (even before the the meal was served) was spectacular. Clean pressed cloths for the table, sparkling cutlery, pristine wine glasses - it was just perfect. In fact, it would be the set up one might expect from inside a fine restaurant, never mind dining on decking.
The food was a whole new chapter. Perfectly presented meals of ideal temperature, all served professionally by our own lovely, helpful waitress.The food was spectacular. Thank you for making our evening feel truly special - it was the perfect hen party. I'll be looking for any justifiable reason under the sun to do this all again. 10/10."

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping me to organise my sister's hen party. We had an amazing time. The tent was gorgeous, roll top bath in a tent!!!! Joe the chef and the waitress were excellent and the food was delicious. The spa was beautiful, we had a lovely relaxing time. The food at Nineteen was delicious. We really enjoyed the chocolate making, can you believe the lord mayor joined us for a bit! He made himself a chocolate lolly. The BBQ was just what we needed as we were shattered! The Sunday was spent spoiling ourselves in the boutiques and afternoon tea at Betty's was a lovely way to finish our day. I couldn't have done any of it without you and I will recommend you to all of my friends. It was wonderful being able to tell you what I was after and how much we could afford and allow you to organise it all for me. Thanks so much and take care. I will be back in touch if I an ever maid if honour again"

"Hi Tina, we had a lovely weekend, the lodges [at Brompton Lakes] were as described, 5 star. The site was immaculately maintained and we had a superb dinner supplied by the chef on Saturday night. Will go again. Best regards and thanks for everything."
I Small - Herts
"We had a truly fantastic time in north Yorkshire; the Feversham Arms was luxurious with wonderful food and Suzanne really enjoyed the Verbena spa. We had a great day in Whitby and and we enjoyed the great food at both the Star Inn and the Pheasant - Suzanne had a birthday to remember. Thank you Tina for organising all of this. If you want a quote for your publicity we will be only too pleased to spread the word."
J Wood - Watford
"We really enjoyed the spa, the treatments were great!! The private chef meal was gorgeous, so thank you for arranging those and please pass that on, they were fabulous in very testing conditions!!! It was literally freezing, -6 on the sat night! Thank you for all your hard work"
F Emmerson - West Yorkshire
"Well what a “gorgeous weekend” we had in Harrogate. Decided at late notice to get away for my birthday but GW took all the hassle out of it and managed to get us a lovely room at the Hotel Du Vin, with a surprise birthday glass of champagne delivered to our room on arrival, and a dinner reservation at Van Zeller both of which exceeded all expectations. HdVin is great for a laid back yet luxurious weekend away and is in a brilliant spot in town within easy reach of everything. Rooms spacious and with all the boutique hotel touches you would expect and a great bar to while away the wee small hours. And Van Zeller – wow. Having recently moved from London this restaurant provides all the fine dining finesse of the Capital whilst lacking any of its stuffiness. In fact Mr Van Zeller himself took our order and was only too happy to have a chat about his food and his restaurant. And of course the food was amazing. A very special place! So all in all a perfect combination and a perfect weekend and highly recommended - thanks GW."

"We had a perfect stay [at The White Swan]. Thank you very much. I was delighted to find somewhere so nice, especially as it was at short notice. And then we even got a free upgrade! We were nothing short of delighted. Sheets were clean and crisp, the whole hotel was tasteful and comfortable. We arrived too late to eat but if breakfast was anything to go by, the catering was top notch too. Finding the White Swan made a lovely weekend into a perfect weekend for us. Thank you to the whole team at GW"
Ilona Morgan - Stockport
Just a quick note to say we both really enjoyed the weekend [at the Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa] Everything was catered for without having to ask, pure excellence. I would recommend both your service and the Feversham arms to anyone who was interested in this type of weekend treat and I am very keen to use your service again"
Craig Rabbetts - Stockton
"Thank you for all your help and for providing an excellent service. I know my brother-in-law was also very happy with the help you gave him. When we next come up to Leeds/Harrogate I will be in touch with you again."
S. Dunnett - London
"Rob was hugely pleased with the surprise itinerary [for his 30th birthday weekend]. It was a good idea sending it out as it sort of adds to the anticipation of a great weekend. We had a great weekend – all went smoothly and everyone really enjoyed the hotel, races and restaurant – a gorgeous weekend!! The only thing was, I expected you to provide a list of the winners as well!!!"
Chris Dunnett - London
"First of all, thanks for being so helpful and efficient yesterday in booking our weekend at Natural Retreats. I had despaired of finding anywhere appropriate for us, and for a number of reasons, this is an important weekend. So thanks. And for your information, we saw about you in The Times on Saturday."
Amanda S - Manchester
"Thanks for all your hard work organising such a fabulous girlie weekend for us - we're definitely booking next year - perhaps York next time!!"
Maxine - Newbury
"I was extremely impressed with your service. You were prompt with information which was brilliant for me arranging at such short notice. The spa was wonderful and my Mum had a lovely day."
Helena Tkaczyk - Middlesbrough
"I really enjoyed my weekend stay at The Lawrance [Duchy House]. It was the perfect blend of luxury and comfort and ideally situated close to Harrogate town centre. Thanks for booking the Turkish baths for us - it was a great experience. And also for recommending Bettys for lunch - it didn't disappoint!Jo Conington - Newbury
"Thank you GW for a wonderful weekend break spent at The Lawrance, Duchy House. Harrogate. It was the perfect setting for our girlie weekend, with plenty of luxury. The Turkish Baths were just what we needed to get us nice and relaxed then onto a delicious lunch at Betty's Tea Rooms. What more could a girl want!? The restaurant you recommended for dinner was also fantastic, great value for money and had delicious food. We all had a fabulous time and would definitely book again with you. Everything was organized perfectly and the Hamper which was waiting for us was full of lovely treats to get our weekend off to a great start."
Nicole Watson - North Wales
"We had a fabulous 3 night stay over New Year. It was the perfect mix of luxury and homeliness. The breakfasts were out of this world! I must also recommend The Malt Shovel pub - we had an outstanding meal there and the owners were incredibly lovely and helpful.
Thank you so much Gorgeous Weekend for organising this truly gorgeous break and looking after the needs of our whole group. It was a precious few days spent with rarely seen overseas friends, and it was important everything was just right so all we had to worry about was which bottle to open next. Can't wait for the next one!"
C. Lawford - Melbourne
"I just wanted to say thanks for our Gorgeous Weekend! The Lawrance [York Road, Harrogate] was perfectly located and I loved the attention to detail; the underfloor heating, the clever lighting in the bathroom and the organic REN toiletries. The best part was receiving my luxury welcome pack and guide to Harrogate a few weeks before we set off - it made me look forward to the weekend even more!
Next time I will definitely use your concierge service to arrange some Spa treatments and also look after dinner reservations. We found all the best restaurants in Harrogate already fully booked."
Jane C - London
"Really impressed with our accommodation and the level of service you provided. Our short break to the coast was pure bliss...it was great not to have to search for somewhere decent to eat. These little things are very important when you have a baby daughter in the back seat!"
Phil Brion - North Yorkshire
"Another huge thanks to all the team at GW - our anniversary break at The Feversham Arms was perfect. The concierge arranged everything - from the soothing spa to succulent dinners, not to mention the romantic rose-petalled bedroom (by candle-light) - a lovely surprise. We'll certainly be back."
Jeanette & Kieron Dean - Marlow
"We had a lovely few days in North Yorkshire at the end of March, with reasonable weather and really enjoyed our stay. The area is one of great variety and interest, with things to do whatever the weather. The situation of the B&B was delightful, with a feeling of being right in the middle of nowhere, quiet, fields all around, hare and pheasant in abundance! Despite this feeling of isolation, it is in fact only a short drive to either Harrogate or Ripon, so not far from civilization either..."
Sylvie Yelland - Surrey
"The [Hen] weekend was fantastic!! We couldn’t fault a thing – everything was perfect. The location of Natural Retreat is amazing – we knew it would be lovely, but it was way beyond what we expected. When we arrived there was a lovely hamper of biscuits, tea, coffee with milk, cheese, juice etc in the fridge which was lovely. I’m really glad we had a 12pm check-out – it would have been a struggle to clean the lodge and sort everything for a 10am departure. Many thanks again for your help throughout – I think we may be booking again for next year!"
Angela Norwood - Nottinghamshire
"My weekend [at the Devonshire Arms] was absolutely great - many thanks for all your help"
