Join in the festive fun at Macdonald Hotels
Christmas and New Year are occasions that deserve a special place to celebrate.
Whether you dream of sharing a delicious festive meal with family and friends, savouring a fine glass of wine and munching warm mince pies by a roaring fire, treating the kids to a visit from Santa or revelling in crisp highland air on a woodland walk, at over 40 Macdonald Hotels & Resorts’ around the country you’ll discover a heart-warming atmosphere in which to relax this Christmas and New Year.
Macdonald Hotels’ two and three day festive breaks are designed to ensure you unwind and indulge in style – at prices that won’t break the bank.
If you long for a cosy Christmas or traditional Scottish Hogmanay (New Year) complete with the skirl of bagpipes, reviving country walks and fine dining that guarantees the freshest of locally sourced produce, treat that important someone to the special ambience of the baronial style mansion that is the historic Macdonald Pittodrie House Hotel.
The beautiful 22-acre grounds of the Macdonald Leeming House Hotel in the Lake District National Park offers an opportunity to enjoy revitalising walks in the fresh, crisp air. Treat your taste buds to a delicious Christmas dinner with all the trimmings and relax by the fire with festive cake or a smooth glass of wine.
Alternatively, you may wish to share an intimate New Year break in the rarified atmosphere of the Macdonald Old England Hotel and Spa, overlooking the serene shores of Lake Windermere.
Unwind as you pamper mind and body in the luxurious spa before ushering in 2009 over a memorable candlelit dinner.
