January breaks

January is the heart of winter in the UK, with cold, crisp days and often frosty mornings. Daytime temperatures typically range from 2°C to 7°C (36°F to 45°F).

It’s a quieter, peaceful time for countryside retreats or cosy hotel stays by the fire. Rain and occasional snow are common, so warm layers and waterproofs are essential. Despite the chill, bright winter days can make for refreshing walks and scenic winter landscapes.

In January, Warner Hotels deliver with cosy settings, hearty menus, and the perfect chance to relax and reset after the festive rush.

Heythrop Park in the Cotswolds brings luxury and warmth together, with indulgent TEMPLESPA treatments, a calming pool, and elegant lounges for fireside relaxation - plus exceptional live entertainment every night.

The Runnymede on Thames invites you to unwind by the water, with riverside walks, award-winning spa facilities, and tranquil views of the Thames that make winter feel wonderfully serene.

For those who love countryside calm, Studley Castle is ideal, offering peaceful grounds, wellness experiences, and a touch of grandeur that’s perfect for a restorative escape.

That said, every Warner Hotel offers its own take on winter wellbeing. From soothing spa days to peaceful winter breaks designed to help you start the year feeling refreshed.

Absolutely! January may be quieter for most, but our hotels are brimming with sensational entertainment and all the feel-good energy of a Warner break.

It’s also the perfect time to unwind. Our spas offer luxurious TEMPLESPA treatments, and with award-winning facilities, Studley Castle and The Runnymede on Thames are ideal for pure relaxation.

For live music lovers, our Star Breaks bring big names to intimate venues - and this January, Go West will take to the stage at Littlecote House. Enjoy an unforgettable, up-close performance from this iconic 80s band.

If dancing’s more your thing, head to Gunton Hall for our Dance Themed Breaks. Think ballroom and jive breaks with energetic classes, and dazzling evening shows with live bands.

And for festival fans, our Festival Breaks keep the party going all winter long. With live music from the 60s through to the 80s, it’s all the fun of a festival (without the wellies!), paired with great food, comfort, and classic Warner hospitality.

January is usuaully cooler and days are generaly shorter, so packing with warmth and comfort in mind is key. Here’s a handy list:

• Warm layers: Long sleeves, knitwear, and a fleece or jumper to keep you warm
• Coat or waterproof jacket: Essential for outdoor walks and unexpected showers
• Comfortable walking shoes or boots: Especially useful for countryside strolls or exploring the grounds
• Scarf, gloves, and a hat: Great for morning walks or coastal breezes - it could get frosty!
• Smart-casual outfits: For dining and nightly evening entertainment
• Umbrella: A compact one can come in handy during autumn showers

You should always pack your swimwear for every break, as all our hotels have an indoor pool and sauna to use at your leisure all year round. Many have spa treatment rooms too, and you can easily book spa treatments on My Warner Stay.

Spa treatments are available at all locations excluding Corton Coastal Village and Norton Grange. Gunton Hall offers packages and treatments to guests staying at Corton Coastal Village. Norton Grange is excluded. Additional supplements apply.
