Everything under one roof

Decorated before you arrive

Tree up, garlands on, candles lit and tables dressed. You bring the guest list, we bring the festive room.

A kitchen, not a caterer

Turkey roasted here with all the trimmings, and vegetarian, vegan and kids’ plates handled quietly.

A bar that stays open

Mulled wine and fizz on arrival, then the bar runs to midnight or 1am on a tab, a float or pay-as-you-go.

Dates go fast

November and December weekends are usually gone by September. We hold a provisional date for seven days.

Sing, dance, speechify

PA and a microphone for your playlist, a live singer or the boss’s speech, with space to dance at the end.

Nobody drives home tired

Twin, king, double and family en-suite rooms upstairs at 10% off for anyone at your Christmas party.

Ring in the new year or take down the tree with a late bar, a toast and a proper supper.
