Spent a lovely day on the Spa Valley railway, jumping on and off the steam trains and exploring some of the stops. Found a lovely pub lunch in Groombridge before a very good three course dinner at the Mercure, Tunbridge Wells. The staff were all friendlyand the room was comfortable.
Next morning we had breakfast before a shopping day in Tunbridge Wells.
A very enjoyable gift.

Cannot fault this experience, Hotel Mercure, Tunbridge Wells was excellent, staff very friendly and helpful. Dining was excellent, plenty of choice.
Very clean and plenty of open space in the gardens to enjoy a drink
The Spa Valley railway was brilliant, great scenery, and staff were very friendly and didn’t mind discussing their roles within the railway.
I would recommend this experience to anyone.

Lovely weather for the trip took the steam train to Eridge and then the diesel back to Groombridge. Visited Groombridge Place for the afternoon and then returned to Tunbridge Wells to the Hotel and Dinner. No complaints and a Thoroughly enjoable day.

Very enjoyable day of on and off steam /diesel trains at Spa Valley Railway. Easy to book and lots to see during the day – even time for a quick wander through The Pantiles. Friendly and helpful staff. Then the experience continued with dinner, bed and breakfast at Mercure hotel. Large room, good food and a late check out made for a very relaxing couple of days.

The Mercure Hotel in Pembury was clean, nice room, friendly staff. Plenty of choice of food, wine was expensive. Got the bus to Tunbridge Wells, the trip was a diesel not steam, depends on the day, was a lovely journey. Little museum, lots of history.
Mike –
My wife and I really enjoyed our trip on the steam train on the Spa Valley railway; getting off and on at different stops gave us chance to explore. We would recommend Groombridge Place gardens in Summer. We had chance to stand in the cab and visit the heritage line’s workshop. After difficulties actually booking our night at the Mercure Hotel Tunbridge Wells, we had a comfortable room and the staff were helpful. Our dinner was well cooked but breakfast items needed replenishing more efficiently

We had a brilliant time on the Spa railway. Totally run by volunteers all very helpful. Love the steam train 🚂 chuffing along with the wonderful smell. At one stop was a pub called The Junction Inn well worth a visit. Lovely pub with friendly staff. You can get on and off the train at any station and have a wander round. Then on to Mercure hotel beautiful hotel that was clean and welcoming. They had a wedding on so kindly gave us a room in a quiet area. All in all a brilliant gift.

Trip on Spa Valley Steam railway most enjoyable and interesting with great scenery.

First class experience.

Great day on the Spa Valley Railway, weather was good, lovely scenery, got to stop off at a local pub, great birthday present.
The hotel was a few miles away from the railway, needed a car to get there. The hotel was comfortable, lovely setting. There was a wedding on that day so a bit upset that they changed the booking in the restaurant without advising me.
David –
A great time was had by us both. The hotel was first class and the food good. Staff very helpful and polite. Did not do the steam train as was not running the day we went but had a good day around tonbridge . All in all great.

The Virgin Experience Days gift was from our family to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary. The Spa Valley Railway trip on the stream train from Tunbridge Wells West, through the High Weald countryside, to Eridge was spectacular. A pleasant stroll from Groombridge Railway Station for a delicious lunch at the Crown Inn on the Green was most enjoyable. Dinner and bed and breakfast at the Mercure Royal Tunbridge Hotel was outstanding. We thoroughly recommend the complete experience to others.

Great experience – steam train was relaxing as you could hop on and off or stay on train as it goes up and down the line. Lots of interesting information at the stations.

Are hoping to book again and definitely recommend.

The hotel was lovely and the staff so friendly and helpful. The steam train was just out of this world we lived every minute of the experience
Dharminder –
Great hotel and location
Ian Wildish –
Great experience, loved the train ride, just a pity that there is nothing to do when you arrive at Eridge. Perhaps a coffee shop at this stop might be a good idea as the only pub was closed for the day due to a wedding. Some information advising that there is nothing at the stop would also be helpful.
Darren –
Excellent, well worth the money we both had a lovely break. The spa Valley Railway was really good and the hotel was amazing. Definitely recommend

Stayed at the mercure in Tondridge Wells staff where excellent and the food was exceptional .
The next day went to the spa valley railway this was a lot of fun looking around a riding the trains up and down the line there was a buffet car so hot and cold drinks were available.
All in all a great time.
PeterH –
The Spa Valley Railway is fun to travel on but the journey does not take very long so you need to plan in something else to do, such as a walk or pub visit around the timetable. The Mercure Tunbridge Wells Hotel hotel was fine but being out of the town centre meant there was nothing much to do after dinner
Heather –
Bought as s gift from our children. Lovely little journey on the steam railway, takes about ½ hour each way with two short stops,(can go up and down the track as often as you want).
The Mercure Hotel is about a 10 minute drive from the Railway with lots of parking spaces. Lovely big,clean, comfortable room with all the usual amenities, tea/coffee, shampoo/shower gel etc. Evening meal was nice, more like pub choices, but tasty. Choice of breakfast, as you would expect.
Amanda Dixon –
