Your itinerary
Day 1 - Christmas Eve
We depart by coach from London and Gatwick and travel to our hotel in Sevenoaks, Kent, the 4-star Donnington Manor Hotel, a 15th century manor house where manicured gardens lead to a welcoming and pristinely presented Tudor property. The hotel is a fusion of British heritage and contemporary style, beautifully offset by touches of European flair in the restaurant. Artwork peppers the walls and gardens and all the while there is careful attention to detail and a personalized approach to hospitality. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with telephone, TV and tea/coffee-making facilities.
We are welcomed on arrival with a festive afternoon tea and later a Christmas Cocktail Reception. In the evening we enjoy a candlelit dinner in the traditional and stately Manor Restaurant. Should you wish, you can attend Midnight Mass at a local church, with warm mince pies served up on your return.

Day 2 - Christmas Day
Merry Christmas! After a leisurely full English breakfast we have some free time before morning tea and coffee with pastries. Before long it’s time for our mulled wine reception and then a four-course Christmas Lunch with turkey and all the trimmings – all you need to do is decide how many roast potatoes you can manage!
At 3.00pm those who wish will assemble to watch the Queen’s Christmas Broadcast and after a suitable pause we will enjoy afternoon tea and coffee and some Christmas cake. A restorative nap or a stroll around the grounds might be in order before we sit down once again and help ourselves to a few choice items from the chef’s Christmas buffet. After a chat and perhaps a nightcap with new found friends it’s time to turn in after an epic day of feasting and celebration.

After lunch the afternoon is free or alternatively enjoy our complimentary optional coach excursion into the Kent countryside and the historic city of Canterbury, where there will be free time to shop or visit the Cathedral (admission not included).
Dinner with Christmas cake is served back at the hotel in the evening.
