Getting gifts together for Father's Day can be very difficult. Who else gets the "Oh, I don't want anything" spiel? Well, that is not very helpful guys! We know that they deserve a great gift this , but just what exactly?
This year, Father's Day lands on Sunday 18 June, so you have time to get something together. You can only get him so many mugs that say"#1 Dad", so why not switch it up this year and take him out for a short weekend break?
Golf course
Golf used to be considered as an elitist sport, however, over the last few decades, more working class and middle lower-class people have taken up a club and started getting involved in the sport. If you are stuck for a gift this Father's Day, then why not book a weekend trip to one of our hotels, only a hop skip and jump away from a stunning golf course?
If he is very into the sport, then a trip to the 151st Open at Royal Liverpool could be a great gift. Tickets for this Open can be bought when you join The One Club. This event occurs during 16-23 July, almost exactly one month after Father's Day. So, you can buy the tickets in time for Father's Day and then enjoy the day a month later. The Royal Liverpool is located less than a 30-minute drive from the Adelphi Hotel.
Watching professionals play golf is great, but if you want to play the game yourself then there are ample courses around the country just waiting for you to visit. Prestwick golf club is a stunning 18-hole course that you can enjoy year-round. The course is a short 11-minute drive away from the stunning Adamton Country House Hotel; a perfect place to come back for a great meal and vibrant atmosphere.
Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club has a golf course in the hotel grounds, so you need not even leave the estate. This golf course is a full 18-hole Championship course equipped with a club house. You can book a tee time online so that you know exactly when to leave your room, no waiting around. For a Father's Day gift, this will get you some great brownie points!
Pubs
Let's be honest, we all love a cheeky drink (or drinks) down at the pub. This Father's Day, why not whisk him away to a bustling city, full of new and exciting pubs and bars. There is an array of Britannia Hotels in city centres for you to stay at with easy access to places that serve a good pint.
We have amazingly affordable and welcoming hotels in cities such as Manchester, Birmingham, London, Newcastle and Liverpool. All these hotels are only a short walk away from the city centres, meaning you once you are done drinking, you can roll straight into your bed.*
Spa Treatments
There is so much that our father's do for us all year round, so it is time that they had some down time. From a relaxing full body massage to peaceful facials and even pedicures, select Britannia Hotels offer a range of spa treatments for customers in need of some tranquillity.
Relaxing at the spa isn't just a thing for the ladies, but if you don’t think a facial is the right angle for your father, then maybe he would enjoy the hotel pool more. Equipped with full-length pools, saunas, Jacuzzis and wet rooms, our hotels are ideal for a day or two or relaxation.
The select hotels that offer these services are located in Buxton, Sprowston, Bosworth, Bradford, Manchester, Norwich, Southampton and Bournemouth.
Britannia Hotels do not promote drinking excessive alcohol, however, if you find yourself in an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, please visit Drink Aware.
