In the UK the day is commemorated on the 4th Sunday during Lent and occurs either in the middle or end of March to Early April. This year it will be celebrated on March 30th 2014. It is a day that is usually filled with treats and special gifts for mom including coach day trips, lunch, dinner, a cruise, or even better a combination of all three.
On this special day, the gifts for mom are a token way of showing appreciation and gratitude. They usually vary according to the individual’s taste, preferences, and budget. It can be as simple as a card or as lavish as jewellery or a cruise. Popular gifts are also chocolates, sweets, cakes, clothes, flowers, and spa or beauty treatments. Mothers who traditionally do most of the cooking in the home are given a break to enjoy their special day off. They are usually feted and treated to dinner or a meal on that Mother’s Day. It can be breakfast, high tea, lunch, or dinner according to the time of day.
An excellent way to spend the day with the mothers in your life would be enjoying a lunch and cruise at the Burnside Hotel. They have a delicious and sumptuous three course meal as a Mother’s Day treat that is not to be missed. The hotel is surrounded by the magnificent views of the botanical gardens surrounding the property and sweeping views of the tranquil and soothing Lake Windmere. After dinner the day is still not over as after dinner there is a thirty minute cruise just enjoying the views and the relaxing ambience along Lake Windmere.
Mother’s Day is a special day in the UK and more money is spent on gifts and treats during that day than any other single day. It is however not a bank holiday. Most individuals choose however to spend some if not all of the day with the mothers in their lives.
The restaurants and special destinations are usually booked way in advance. This is to make the day special, fun, and memorable. It is essential to make the reservations early for any event, coach day trip, or restaurant. The Burnside Hotel lunch and cruise is no different. The enticing menu is sure to attract many patrons along with the after dinner cruise.
You can park the car and enjoy a coach day trip to the hotel. You can make your reservation by visiting Hardings Tours to ensure you won’t miss out.
