This review is based on the booking process as we have not yet stayed taken our stay. We received a £500 voucher as a gift to use with CountryHotelBreaks.com plus sister websites. When checking availabilities for the area and dates we wished to stay, all of the 'special offers' were for bed, breakfast plus inclusive evening meals. My wife and I did not want to take evening meals as the nature of our visit requires us to make separate arrangements. Having checked on eBookers and Booking.com that B&B deals were available at the properties in question, I contacted Country Hotel Breaks Customer services to ask if I could book the accommodation on a B&B basis. I was told by the advisor that they pride themselves on their value for money offers and that I could not book any alternative arrangements other than those on the website. This means that I am forced to purchase a package with options that I do not require, so frankly will waste my money. I find this inflexibility somewhat ridiculous as the properties are freely available on a B&B basis via mainstream websites. Why they cannot be booked on this basis via CountryHotelBreaks.com escapes me. So in summary, if a break exactly as per the 'special offers' on the website is what you seek, with no option to amend then this is for you otherwise I would stere clear. I would also urge caution if buying as a gift, as the flexibility suggested by multiple websites is not present as the deals offered on CountryHotelBreaks.com, .
