Mother's Day Treat

Take mum for a 4-course dinner in Normandy at a glorious château for less than £120* a head with bed and breakfast thrown in

Just securing a table at a decent restaurant in the UK on Mother's Day can prove nigh on impossible, so why not cruise to France, where the food's sure to be better quality and value. Besides, with an overnight stay in the Hotel la Chenevière, mum will appreciate it more!

Situated on the outskirts of Port en Bessin, less than an hour's drive from the Brittany Ferries port of Caen, this truly delightful 150-year-old château and its converted stables and forge, has beautiful gardens surrounded by parkland, and a heated outdoor pool & tennis court. The spacious bedrooms have pretty décor and wonderful views overlooking the Normandy countryside, and the plush restaurant features menus that only use seasonal produce of the area. Port en Bessin is Normandy's premier fishing port and is a popular haunt for painters.

Cruise overnight from Portsmouth to Caen on Friday 16th March and enjoy a good night's sleep in an ensuite cabin. Spend the next day discovering the local attractions such as the world-famous Bayeux Tapestry or the ultra-modern Museum of Peace. On Sunday, Mother's Day, there is plenty of time to take in more of the area before cruising back to Portsmouth at 17.00.

This is but one example of Brittany Ferries' many outstanding value ferry-inclusive hotel breaks. And what's more a relaxed sailing from Portsmouth, Poole or Plymouth on a luxury cruise-ferry with award-winning on-board service and facilities, sets you up for the break ahead - surely a more hassle-free alternative to travelling by air.

* Price per person based on 4 sharing a 4 berth cabin on the outward sailing with return ferry crossing including car and a 1 night stay (2 double rooms) including breakfast and dinner at the Hotel la Chenevière, Port en Bessin (HF1287).
