What better way to enjoy Christmas than to let others take the stress, leaving you to relax in front of roaring fires with a glass of champagne and a mince pie? Enjoy the tranquility of the beautiful Dartmoor National Park at Bovey Castle (www.boveycastle.com/pages/home.asp) where you can join your friends and family for a relaxing and entertaining house party. An all inclusive four-night programme of events will keep all ages entertained over the holidays – clay pigeon shooting, wine tasting, falconry displays, a guided hike, bridge, casino night and cocktail receptions, plus plenty of children’s activities in the Playbarn.
Have a 100% genuine ‘Made In The Cotswolds Christmas’ at The Priory Inn (www.theprioryinn.co.uk), Tetbury in the heart of the Cotswolds, where everything on the Christmas lunch table will have been produced in the immediate vicinity – even the bubbly! Ston Easton Park (www.stoneaston.co.uk) in Bath promises a perfect combination of the finest cuisine, attentive yet unobtrusive service and as much or as little entertainment as you could wish for.
Crackling log fires, sea views and mouth-watering menus await guests this Christmas at the Talland Bay Hotel (www.tallandbayhotel.co.uk) in Cornwall. Relax in the delightful city of Wells with stunning views of the cathedral during a break at the Swan Hotel (www.swanhotelwells.co.uk).
For relaxation, superb food, intimate cosy surroundings and every traditional comfort try Mortons House Hotel (www.mortonshouse.co.uk), Corfe Castle in Dorset.
