A full day excursion visiting the beautiful coastal town of Sidmouth, with a regency feel and an attractive town centre with many independent shops offering fantastic Christmas gifts and treats. We return via a visit to ancient city of Exeter for the opportunity to browse the chic boutiques, shops and cafes on cobbled Gandy Street whilst soaking up the festive atmosphere. This evening back at the hotel dinner is again followed by entertainment and later, for those wishing to go to midnight mass, mulled wine & mince pies on their return. <br />
Celebrate Christmas Day in the warmth and comfort of our hotel. After a hearty breakfast, you may wish to take a refreshing stroll out along the seafront before sitting down to enjoy a traditional Christmas Day lunch at our hotel. Afternoon tea and Christmas cake will also be available later and this evening a light buffet will precede an evening of entertainment.<br />
After breakfast we visit the beautiful town of Dartmouth, situated on the banks of the River Dart. Later, we travel to Brixham, the pretty fishing town lies in the heart of England’s Seafood Coast, with a chance to discover the freshest fish and delicious seafood! This evening we will enjoy a special ‘Farewell’ dinner.<br />
After a ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ we retrace our footsteps home.<br />
