Itinerary

Day 1

Head to your hotel in Oxford. Depending on the time you arrive, you'll be able to enjoy an included afternoon tea. Later, meet your fellow guests at a get-together, enjoy a complimentary Christmas cocktail, and sit down for a three-course dinner. This evening, why not take part in the hotel’s light-hearted Christmas quiz?

Day 2

After breakfast on Christmas Eve, enjoy an included half-day tour of Oxford. At the city’s medieval heart is a maze of pretty streets filled with festive charm. Dotted around the city are Oxford University's colleges, each with its own character – from majestic Christ Church to striking New College. Other sights include the Bodleian Library and the Radcliffe Camera, familiar to devotees of Inspector Morse or Harry Potter. This evening try to "guess the weight" of the chef's Christmas cake, before enjoying a glass of mulled wine and some carol-singing. A three-course dinner will be served before the chance to play some traditional games and attend a local church service, should you wish.

Day 3

Merry Christmas! Today's highlight will be a four-course Christmas lunch, accompanied by wine, served in the early afternoon. Enjoy a relaxed afternoon, and some Christmas cake and tea (if you have room). Later, the Christmas feasting finishes with a light, hot-and-cold buffet followed by traditional games.

Day 4

After breakfast, join your new-found friends on an included Boxing Day coach tour of the beautiful Cotswolds. The tour begins at Bourton-on-the-Water, often referred to as the Venice of the Cotswolds because of its picturesque low arched stone bridges, and continues to the scenic market town of Stow-on-the-Wold. This evening, enjoy a three-course meal followed by a screening of a classic film – a relaxing end to your festive break.

Day 5

After a last breakfast, bid your new-found friends and hosts farewell, and begin your journey home at the end of a delightful festive break in the Heart of England.
