Promising a home from home, enjoy an effortless Christmas sprinkled with tradition this year, and escape to the serene countryside for a festive three-night stay (24th – 27th December) at recently crowned AA Hotel of the Year England – Down Hall Hotel, Spa & Estate.
Skip the stresses and let the team take care of it all while you soak up the enchanting surroundings of the 110-acre estate and feast on glorious food and fizz, for a magical celebration to remember.
Arrive on Christmas Eve to a welcome glass of fizz with festive canapés from 3pm in the hotel’s newly designed Grand Hall, alongside a roaring fire to keep you warm and cosy. Enjoy carol singing from The Gospel Choir, with traditional mince pies and mulled wine at 6pm, before enjoying a heartwarming meal at 7.30pm.
On Christmas Day, wake up to a delicious hot and continental buffet breakfast while Father Christmas parks up his sleigh to meet the hotel’s younger guests. Lunch starts with a glass of chilled champagne, followed by a lavish five-course Christmas feast served to the tunes of a resident pianist. In the afternoon, walk off lunch before the royal speech, followed by a festive family movie. Evening entertainment and a festive buffet dinner completes the day from 7.30pm.
Come Boxing Day, guests can enjoy a lazy brunch before wrapping up to explore the hotel’s expansive grounds, with the option to take part in either falconry or laser clay, included within the package. Afterwards, enjoy a cosy afternoon with another classic family movie. End with a tasteful buffet, whilst listening to the sounds of live singer, Gary Winter. Check out – fully rested – on 27th December after enjoying one last decadent breakfast.
The three-night stay is priced from £1,200 per adult and £600 per child (12 years and under), with prices based on double occupancy in a Classic Room. Upgrades are available for an additional cost including the newly appointed Estate Patio Rooms, all of which are dog-friendly.
