We head to Bournemouth with a lunchtime stop in historic Salisbury. We then travel to our hotel, where a hot drink and cake will await you.
After a leisurely start, we head to Poole, a bustling resort with a lovely quayside, stunning natural harbour and some of the country's finest beaches. Back at our hotel this evening, a traditional Christmas dinner will be served tonight, followed by an evening of entertainment.
Enjoy Bournemouth's festive finery at your leisure today. Why not stroll amongst the town's glorious gardens, parks or seafront? It's the perfect way to enjoy the fresh sea air at this festive time. If you're looking to do some Christmas shopping, the town is decorated for the big day!
We journey through the New Forest with visits to Lymington and Christchurch. Explore Lymington with its narrow streets lined with pretty cottages before we take in Christchurch, home to two castles and the historic Priory Church and a variety of independent shops, perfect for gift shopping.
We begin our journey home, enjoying a stop in Winchester, home to a delightful Christmas market in the Cathedral's shadow.
The recently renovated Marsham Court Hotel is complete with an outdoor pool and is ideally located for your Bournemouth holiday. Designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, Marsham Court is home to award-winning customer service and accessibility!
