FAQs about New Year breaks
What’s the difference between a Classic and a Reserve New Year break?
Classic breaks offer a fun, sociable and familiar festive experience - with traditional entertainment, full-board dining, and a buzzing atmosphere.
Reserve breaks provide a more refined stay, with upgraded half-board dining, unique experiences, and a calmer, premium feel.
Here's a comparison table of some of the differences:

Is everything included in both break types?
Every New Year break includes 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, The Runnymede on Thames and Thoresby Hall, and also include some indulgent touches such as prosecco on arrival, elevated menus and some bespoke experiences (some of which are chargeable).
Is the entertainment the same on both breaks?
All breaks include live entertainment and seasonal shows. For an overview of what entertainment is being shown during your break, check out the breaks grid above and select 'Nightly entertainment / Show full itinerary'.
The activities experiences on a Classic break are more familiar, with quizzes and a pantomime matinee. Reserve breaks offer some premium experiences for guests seeking a more refined celebration.
How do I know which break is right for me?
If you enjoy a warm, sociable atmosphere with all the festive favourites, a Classic break might be the perfect fit.
If you're after something a little more special - with a touch of indulgence and personalisation - a Reserve break may suit you better.
