Two nights dinner bed & breakfast
A comfortable modern hotel on the edge of Newbury, close to glorious countryside. Facilities include The Space - bar, restaurant and lounge; and WiFi.
FRIDAY We make our way to Wiltshire, with a break in the Cotswolds, and arrive late afternoon at the hotel.
SATURDAY A full day at Longleat. Home to the Marquess of Bath, the house is widely regarded as one of the best examples of high Elizabethan architecture in Britain, and here we enjoy a guided tour. We also enjoy some of the other attractions Longleat has to offer, including the winter safari drive-through, in addition to the main event; the UK’s original lantern festival. As the winter sun sets, enjoy the sight of a multitude of lanterns and numerous magical scenes displayed over 30 acres of splendid ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped grounds, transforming Longleat into a breath-taking illuminated world. We return to the hotel for a late dinner.
SUNDAY We transfer to Bristol for our visit to the traditional Christmas Market. Located in the heart of the city centre, enjoy the unique variety of stalls amidst a backdrop of festive decorations as you make your way through the market. We depart mid-afternoon for the journey home.
