Day 1: Following your home taxi collection we join our luxury tour coach and head north to Cumbria and the Shap Wells Hotel for our 4 night stay on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. During your stay we also include two lunches, tea/coffee & mince pies on arrival, a pre-dinner drinks reception on the first evening and live hotel entertainment.
Day 2: Christmas Eve - More fantastic scenery today as we make our way to Ullswater and follow the shore road to Glenridding. We continue over rugged Kirkstone Pass, with the lonely inn at the summit, and descend into Windermere and Bowness. Here we take a lunch break and you will have time to explore the town or just relax by the lake. The centre of Bowness is made up of quaint alleyways and streets where you will find enticing gift shops, chic delis and atmospheric pubs. For those who wish to, there will be time to visit the charming World of Beatrix Potter (not included)
This afternoon we enjoy a delightful sail along Lake Windermere to Lakeside, with tea/coffee and biscuits served on board. On this spectacular cruise you will encounter magnificent views of the surrounding mountain scenery, secluded bays and the many wooded islands.
Later we make our way back to our hotel via Kendal and over the Shap fells. Dinner this evening will be followed by live entertainment.
Day 3: Christmas Day - Merry Christmas to all! Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, open your presents and then maybe enjoy a gentle stroll to work up an appetite for your traditional Christmas Day Lunch which will be served with a glass of fizz. This afternoon why not relax in one of the lounges, listen to the King’s Speech or if you have room, enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of Christmas cake. Dinner tonight is buffet style and will be followed by live entertainment
Day 4: Boxing Day – After breakfast, for those who wish to join us, we enjoy a short sightseeing drive to Appleby – the former county town of Westmoreland, and the pleasant town of Penrith. There will be time to look around before we return to our hotel for a delicious carvery lunch. The afternoon is free to relax or maybe enjoy a board game with new found friends. Tonight’s buffet dinner is followed by live hotel entertainment.
