Frequently Asked Questions about Christmas Breaks
What’s the difference between a Classic and a Reserve Christmas break?
Classic breaks offer a fun, sociable and familiar festive experience - with traditional entertainment, festive full-board dining**, and a buzzing atmosphere.
Reserve breaks provide a more refined stay, with upgraded festive dining, unique experiences, and a calmer, premium feel.
More detail about what's included with each can be found above.
Is everything included in both break types?
Both breaks include accommodation, breakfast & dinner, daily seasonal entertainment and selected festive activities. Classic New Year breaks are full board (excluding Studley Castle).
Our Reserve New Year breaks are half board at Heythrop Park and The Runnymede on Thames and also include some indulgent touches such as prosecco on arrival, elevated menus and some bespoke experiences (some of which are chargeable).

All breaks include live entertainment and seasonal shows. For an overview of what entertainment is being show during your break, check out the breaks grid above and select 'Nightly entertainment / Show full itinerary'.
