What do you buy a couple who seems to have it all? Many people want to pick their own home furnishings, their own clothes, and sometimes their own alcohol. Why not think outside of the box and gift them with something that they will cherish for a lifetime? It is a gift like no other as it is the mega choice for couples, full of experiences that range from adrenaline fuelled activities to relaxing afternoons spent in a luxury spa, from getting back to nature with camping and country escapes to getting intimate with a range of wild animals. The best thing is, the couple can decide for themselves! It certainly takes the stress out of choosing which experience they will love the most.
The choice of experiences is (almost) endless with activities to choose from such as:
Adventure: -
Days Out:-
Driving Experiences
Flying Experiences
Food & Drink
Pampering
Short Breaks

What did you get up to?
Arrived at the venue which was really easy to find, they had two big car parks which was free of charge to use. We were greeted by a friendly gentleman in their bar/restaurant, and taken to our en-suite room. The room was really clean and tidy, it had a large bathroom and they had even shaped the towels on the bed into elephants which I thought was a lovely touch. We dropped our bags and went and explored the seaside town, got some delicious fish and chips and sat on the beach. The bed was extremely comfy, the room had tea and coffee making facilities, the hotel also has free Wi-Fi for guests to use. After a great night's sleep we woke up early and went for breakfast, which was absolutely delicious, great quality food. We decided to stay in Margate for the day and enjoy more of the seaside.

We loved how friendly the staff were at the venue - it really makes a different to your break!

This has to be the Perfect Gift for any couple in the Universe!
How could anyone not love a fab Afternoon Tea with a French twist, followed by the very best views of London from the 70th floor of one of the Nation's Iconic buildings? And all on a sunny day in July........
We were lucky with the weather which gave us the chance to have our Afternoon Tea outside so that we could people-watch whilst over-eating cake, plus we had amazingly clear views of everything that London represents.
Our Afternoon Tea was a little unusual for aficionados of this traditional treat: it had a Croque Monsieur instead of cucumber sandwiches. Personally, a way better experience (I don't get Croque Monsieur at home!). The experience was very relaxing and the staff made everything really easy and they were very polite. My other half is from Brazil and the concept of Afternoon Tea is very English and quaint, so everyone was happy..
After eating far too much, we strolled slowly to The Shard (5 minutes from Hay's Gallery where the Cafe Rouge is located).
The Shard is a unique experience and with 14 million visitors a year being a massive London attraction, it's easy to forget that there are lots of luxury apartments in the building where people live, as well as restaurants and a 5-star hotel. The vision and ambition behind such a building is truly extraordinary.
There are a number of different levels in the Shard from which you can view London including cocktail bars and ice cream concessions, all giving you access to extraordinary panoramic views. It can become a little crowded with people sticking to the glass to soak up the 'vistas', but be patient and you will be able to see every bit of London that you really want to see. Viewing London's skyline from the roof is a unique experience as well, so take your time and take it all in.
Oh, and on our way out, a quick visit to the loo revealed a 69th floor-to-ceiling window overlooking London! This might put a few people off!!
All-in-all a great afternoon out and something I recommend to everyone looking for a gift for a couple.
What did you enjoy the most?
I really enjoyed how unique the Afternoon Tea was. It was very different to the more traditional ones, and was a nice change allowing us to try something new!
The whole experience was so smooth and I received amazing customer service from start to finish! Upon booking with the hotel, the operator was very knowledgeable and polite and the voucher was easily accepted at short notice on a busy weekend. I even rang back to inform them of some dietary requirements that I initially forgot to mention and they were very happy to accommodate. Upon entering the Palm Court Restaurant, we were immediately in awe of the beautiful Art Deco features and the soothing sound of the harpist. A member of staff immediately greeted us, took our coats and gave us a choice of seats. We choose to sit facing the harpist, and the seats were very comfy - they even had pillows! We were given the menu and the waiter explained a brief history about the hotel whilst he poured our champagne. The tea arrived first and it was delicious! There was a choice of all different teas and we were allowed to keep trying different types. Then the food arrived. I can honestly say this was the best afternoon tea I've ever had! The sandwiches were so good we asked for another round (which was included in the voucher!!), the scones were dainty but perfect, and the sweets were incredible! Everything was so professional and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Although the waiter did say we could upgrade to bottomless sparking wine for an extra £15, we were not pushed to buy this and there was no other pressure to purchase anything extra. Unfortunately, we were both driving so could not upgrade but would have definitely done so if we could (although what was included in the voucher was enough by far!). Overall a beautiful experience and I would definitely visit again without a doubt!
What did you get up to?
The gin expert was extremely knowledgeable, she answered any questions we had and it was really interesting to learn about the history of gin and how far it's come from its darker days. We tried a range of gins and I found myself some new favourites, it was also nice to learn what foods work best with certain gins. We rounded off the experience with a cookery lesson from Pity. She was very entertaining and engaging, she got the class involved in making the Spanish Tortilla's, made us all laugh and had some brilliant tips. Once the experience has taken place you receive an email with all the gins you have tried and where you can purchase them (very handy), as well as a recipe for the canapes.
What did you enjoy the most?
I really enjoyed finding out about different gins and discovering a new favourite - I know what to ask for when ordering a drink in a bar now!
What did you get up to?
Our experience started with an Afternoon Tea at Novotel London Bridge. From the beginning, staff members were all very welcoming and to our surprise one of them visited our hometown in Ukraine. All cakes were not only photo worthy but scrumptious as well. We were also given a drinks menu, from which we ordered a cappuccino and a green tea which came in a lovely tea pot.
After this we went to The View From The Shard. After the elevator took us up to the 68th floor, we had the option to walk up three more floors. Whilst going up, we had a lot of fun looking for beloved London attractions: St Paul Cathedral, Tower Bridge and Tower of London. Everything was decorated for the Queen's Jubilee and felt highly appropriate as we continued embracing Britishness after our Afternoon Tea.
What did you enjoy the most?
For example:
Our favourite part of the experience was tasting all the lovely cakes and taking photos and videos of them, while catching up.
At the Shard my favourite spot was roofless terrace with all the photo zones. It was also interesting to see London from a different perspective.

Cost of champagne
We had a very enjoyable couple of hours and the staff were efficient and attentive. However, we felt that the cost of the champagne was exorbitant. We appreciate that the venue has to make a profit but quite frankly we could have purchased a bottle of Pommery for less than we paid for one glass each.
Left a nasty taste in the mouth for what otherwise was a very pleasant experience.

Brilliant Afternoon tea !
Having booked our experience with the staff at The Sheraton, it was a smooth process to do so (even only a day notice).
On arrival, you are greated then seated to your table; in which shortly after seated you are then given the Afternoon tea menu, which has a vast amount of teas to choose from.
We chose from the Rare Teas ; Royal Zafrani (black tea) and the Special Formosa (Green tea). Both were very nice, especially the Formosa with its floral notes.
We were serviced by Vaish who was attentive, polite and very clear with explaining all of the sandwiches, jams and the lovely cakes.
This was our second time here; with the service standards kept very high.
All of the staff were on hand to help; whether that be replenishing us with more sandiwches and scones. And if you would also require more hot water for the tea.
We had the Champagne afternoon tea; which was brilliant!
It is very cosy, warm atmosphere and you are not rushe

Okay but not gourmet
The food was very nice and good service but the venue and meal cannot be called gourmet.
