Cricket St Thomas hotel in Chard launches the mamamoon

Warner Leisure Hotels, which operates 14 adult-only hotels in the UK, including Cricket St Thomas in Chard, has recently launched the 'mamamoon'.

The mamamoon is a getaway designed specifically for mums of the bride-to-be and has been launched to help them unwind after the big day.

It includes spa access, gin and wine tasting, a complimentary breakfast and dinner, as well as stress reducing activities such as yoga and archery.

Damian Skelton, general manager at Cricket St Thomas Hotel in Chard, said: “It’s been so tough to see how many times couples have had their big day postponed over the past 18 months, but suffice to say it’s not been easy for mothers of the bride too.

“That’s why we wanted to recognise their heroic efforts – being a shoulder to cry on when dates are rearranged, organising table plans with military precision and being the voice of wisdom in the wedding dress shop. It’s certainly not an easy job!

“The unsung heroes of the big day, we certainly underestimate the level of stress involved with this important role, and it sounds like a lot of mothers of the bride in Somerset could use a break.

“That’s why we’ve launched the world’s first ‘Mamamoons’ – a chance for mothers of the bride to put their feet up after the wedding and be waited on hand and foot – they definitely deserve it!”

Warner Leisure Hotels discovered that 68 per cent of mothers of the bride felt like they deserved a relaxing holiday more than the bride or groom did.

Around 50 per cent said the wedding experience was 'extremely stressful'.

Mamamoon packages start from £199 per person.
