May your stays be merry and bright: Warner Hotels toasts the season with an array of festive breaks

Leading provider of UK adults-only short break experiences, Warner Hotels is offering a selection of themed festive breaks - with roaring fires, carol singing, and platefuls of mince pies to help guests get into the spirit of the season.

For a dose of merriment, guests can book a Martinis & Mistletoe break, available at seven of Warner Hotels’ 16 unique properties across the UK, including new flagship destination, The Runnymede on Thames in Windsor, and the stunning Cotswolds retreat, Heythrop Park.

Available throughout November and December, the short breaks feature an abundance of festive food and drink, live evening entertainment, carol concerts, and sustainable wreath-making sessions.

Holidaymakers can enjoy the enchanting atmosphere of a candlelit string quartet playing Christmas classics as they relax in intimate surroundings, or experience lantern-lit garden walks before retreating to a cosy fireplace.

For those wanting a traditional celebration with loved ones ahead of Christmas week, Turkey & Tinsel breaks give guests the joy of Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Eve all in one trip, without the hassle of cooking. Available from November, guests can expect a warm welcome of mince pies, before enjoying festive traditions like Christmas pantomimes, carols and delicious meals with all the trimmings.

Extra festive treats are also on offer, with themed activities like bell ringing, and even a visit from Santa himself. To top it off, holidaymakers can sit back and enjoy evening performances from the Warner Theatre Company and special guests, including a magical production of Jack and the Beanstalk.

For those wanting to enjoy an extra-special celebration, Warner Hotels is also offering Christmas breaks from 23 - 27 December and New Year breaks from 30 December - 2 January.

The four-night Christmas break provides guests with themed activities, festive feasts and plenty of exciting entertainment. Whether it’s catching a matinee performance, taking part in a dance workshop, or enjoying a Bucks Fizz breakfast on Christmas morning, guests will be sure to have the most wonderful time of the year.

At New Year, guests can choose from a two or three-night break, packed full of delicious meals, uplifting shows, and a celebratory countdown to welcome in 2025. With themed activities and entertainment every night, there is plenty for guests to get stuck into.

Caroline Cromar, Chief Operating Officer at Warner Hotels, commented: “We’ve created our unique breaks to give guests a chance to escape the hustle of the festive season, allowing us to take charge of yuletide arrangements so they can get straight into the festive spirit, enjoying an abundance of seasonal activities, entertainment and relaxation. With an array of breathtaking locations across the UK, each with their own story to tell, alongside a selection of distinctive breaks on offer, there is something to suit everyone.

“Our festive breaks are incredibly popular, both in the run up to and during the holiday season, so we encourage guests to book their short break now to avoid disappointment.”

All festive breaks include access to leisure facilities, where they can relax with a swim, soak in the whirlpool, or take a winter walk through beautiful gardens and surrounding landscapes. During their stay, guests can also opt to join a trip to the nearest Christmas market to browse handmade gifts, or simply enjoy the festive atmosphere with a glass of mulled wine in hand.
