Christmas break
Our four-day Christmas house party on the shores of Ullswater.
Last chance for Christmas. Ice-skating, champagne tasting, lake dips, stories around the tree. Feast and watch the starry night sky for Father Christmas.
Your four-night stay
Breakfast and dinner each day, and lunch with all the festive trimmings on Christmas Day.
23 December 2024
Arrive early. Leave your bags and explore. Find a spot by the fire for mulled wine and a mince pie. A champagne tasting session for the adults while the children meet animals from across the world with Claire's Cool Creatures. Take to the ice rink for an afternoon or evening ice skating session, join Colin Hill for a lake swim beneath the stars with Colin Hill and finish off the day with live music from Fiona in the Lakes in The Living Space.
Christmas Eve
We’re hoping the fells will be topped with snow and you can get outside for a brisk walk after breakfast. There'll be afternoon and evening ice skating sessions to choose from. Little Chef's Pizza school for the children and story time around the fire in the library. Join us in The Living Space for Christmas carols and festive drinks whilst younger ones settle in for a Christmas movie in Kids' Zone.
Christmas Day
There’ll be a Champagne breakfast with waffles and gifts around the tree, and maybe a visit from Father Christmas. Lunch is a festive feast with all the trimmings. Afterwards curl up in the library, lounge in Swim Club or get outside for an afternoon walk and walk off lunch ready for supper.
Boxing Day
Take some time over breakfast and then join the brave for a Boxing Day dip in the lake. Take a trip on the Ullswater Steamer with a Kids' Zone session on board, book onto an ice skating session, explore outside, on the lake or among the fells and then come back indoors for something warm. After dinner, there’ll be live music in The Living Space from Ryan Davidson and a Kids' Zone party for the children.
27 December 2024
One final breakfast and a dip in the pool, lace up your skates and take to the ice before we have to say goodbye.
