The Feversham Arms & Verbena Spa in Helmsley, North Yorkshire offers the perfect post-wedding packages for newlyweds who wish to take a romantic break together closer to home.

It was recently estimated that annually approximately 59,000 UK newlyweds caught in the recession go on mini-moons to relax and spend time together after their big day, whilst saving for their honeymoon abroad.*

The ‘Mini-Mooners package’ at the Feversham Arms includes two night’s accommodation in a beautiful room or suite with Champagne and truffles upon arrival and Yorkshire breakfast in bed each morning. Couples can enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner including the popular six-course ‘Tasting Menu’ which will be served on the first evening, and a three course dinner on the second. An extensive wine list provides the ideal way to celebrate the special day.

“We have seen a notable increase in Mini Mooning at The Feversham Arms & Verbena Spa over the last 12 months. It seems the change in our economic climate has created a new set of couples wanting a shorter but still extremely luxurious and pampering honeymoon where they can hide-away without having the cost and stress of travelling long distances.” says Marketing Manager Jill Rhatigan.

The Verbena Spa offers mini-mooners full use of the heat experience, and an intimate Elemis back, neck and shoulder massage per person in the romantic, candle-lit double treatment room.
