Join us on this lovely winter break for a truly unique spectacle as hundreds of illuminated lanterns transform the beautiful Longleat Estate into a glowing winter wonderland. We also visit the Safari Park, the festively decorated Elizabethan stately home**, and have time for shopping at Bristol Christmas Market.
Day 1 We travel across the country toward Bath and our hotel, making suitable refreshment stops along the way.
Day 2 We have a full day at Longleat to make the most of the many attractions. Visit the animals as we drive through the amazing Safari Park*; see the mansion house** and gardens decorated beautifully for Christmas; enjoy a trip on the jungle cruiser and buy wonderful Christmas gifts. At 4pm the lights come on and the grounds are populated with spectacular illuminated forms – a sight not to be missed!
Day 3 After a leisurely breakfast, we travel to Bristol, with time to explore the Christmas Market and to get lunch. Early afternoon we make our way homewards.
Overlooking the spectacular Limpley Stoke Valley, the hotel is a stunning property with extensive gardens and elegant spacious public rooms. The hotel has a stylish restaurant and traditional bar. The comfortable bedrooms have TV, WiFi, telephone, hairdryer and tea & coffee making facilities. The guestrooms are located on three floors and a lift offers access to the first two floors with stair access to all three. Due to the architecture of the building there are some steps throughout.
