Christmas Breaks and New Year Breaks at Low Wood

Christmas Breaks

Thursday 23rd December 2010

On arrival you will be escorted to your rooms and, once settled, full afternoon tea will be served in the Langdale Bar and Lounge with its glorious views over the lake, so synonymous with Low Wood. This evening is yours to enjoy at your leisure with dinner included, served in our Windermere Restaurant.

Christmas Eve – Friday 24th December 2010

After a Lakeland breakfast, why not visit the famous town of Kendal or take a stroll to the village of Ambleside, giving you the chance to do any last minute shopping.

This afternoon full afternoon tea will be served, accompanied by several games of “Bingo”. At 5 pm the little ones amongst us will have the chance to join “Sam” the dog and sprinkle Reindeer Sparkles round the ground, so that Santa knows where to drop those all important gifts. After this excitement there will be a children’s high tea.

Children, don’t forget to post your letters to Santa in Sam’s post box this evening and follow Santa around the world with our GPS screen which tracks his every move!

Your host, Nevil Jeffery, and his team will welcome you this evening to a Champagne and canapé reception where you will have a chance to meet friends old and new to the sound of our Carol Singers. They set the mood for a 5-course gourmet dinner in our “Ever Changing” themed Lake Suite – truly a breathtaking sight, it sparkles with a feeling of Christmas in the air and always raises admiring gasps!

Should you wish to attend Midnight Mass, you can on arrival arrange transport by taxi to services, which are available in Ambleside. Upon your return mulled wine, hot chocolate and mince pies will be served.

Christmas Day – Saturday 25th December 2010

A very merry Christmas Day will begin with a Lakeland Buck Fizz Breakfast, when all children receive a Santa sack – filled with treats and entertaining games!

Santa knows your location, so venture out for a brisk stroll along the water’s edge or on the Lakeland fells, bearing in mind the anticipated visit of Santa and his helpers. He will bring gifts for all the children and will also judge the best Christmas tree decoration made to adorn our 18ft tree.

Traditional Christmas Luncheon – with all the trimmings – will follow, full of seasonal cheer with crackers to pull and hats to don, in the festive surroundings of the Windermere Restaurant. The remainder of the day is yours to relax, enjoying the television broadcast of the Queen’s Speech to the accompaniment of Christmas cake and tea.

7.30 pm is our vibrant “Las Vegas” Casino Night for all ages, with prizes to be won and a seafood buffet taking centre stage – this will also include one half-bottle of house wine per person.

Boxing Day – Sunday 26th December 2010

Start the day in true Cumbrian tradition with a full English breakfast. Today we have left free for you either to discover, or revisit, the delights that the glorious Lake District has to offer. Alternatively, you may wish to take part in one of our house quizzes, which always get the grey matter going!

This evening commences with Champagne and canapés prior to our formal 6-course Gala Dinner which concludes with our famous Cumbrian Cheese Board, accompanied by a glass of port. This evening’s cabaret act will dazzle you and make the magical night complete. Remember your dancing shoes as our resident DJ helps all to trip the light fantastic into the wee small hours. (Tables this evening are formal banquet style of 8 or more, dependent on party size.)

Monday 27th December 2010

After another memorable Christmas break and hearty Lakeland breakfast, the team bids you farewell with best wishes for the New Year. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
