You are assured of a genuine warm welcome from all the staff
at this family run hotel in Ilfracombe. These pre Christmas breaks are a great,
fun way to enjoy the run up to Christmas with cuisine and entertainment in
hotels decorated for the festive period.

Superb value holiday whilst enjoying some of the finest
scenery to be had, anywhere in Britain. The dramatic, rugged coastline of the
North Devon Coast, where the cliffs seem to dive in to the sea is quite
stunning and on a clear day you can see over to South Wales. There are some
terrific excursion destinations to explore, all with lovely countryside to see
on route. We stay in the centre of Ilfracombe, a town which has received a
noticeable boost in the last few years largely credited to the arrival of
artist, Damian Hirst who lives nearby. His giant 20 metre sculpture, Verity,
has led to several galleries in the town and some lovely restaurants, bars and
cafes around the authentic fishing harbour.

Departing your local pick-up point in the morning (approx.
8.30am), we travel to Ilfracombe stopping for lunch before arriving mid/late

After breakfast we have an excursion with a scenic drive over
the wonderful scenery of Exmoor National Park with a stop in the historic town

Lynmouth for a lunch break in this picturesque port. Returning to the hotel for
afternoon tea & mince pies before dinner and some fun entertainment.


DAY 3
In the morning we head for Great Torrington with a visit to
Dartington Crystal where we have included a factory tour. Watch the craftsmen
at work, transforming hot molten crystal into elegant shapes and hear the
fascinating story of this famous brand. Returning to Ilfracombe for free time.
Afternoon tea & biscuits are served before the big night tonight! Enjoy a
traditional Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings followed by the Fancy Dress
Parade. Don’t be shy – best costume wins a prize!
