Christmas

Christmas is a very relaxed and friendly time at Gliffaes with many of our regular guests returning year after year. The house is decorated with holly and ivy from the garden and a large Christmas tree dominates the hall. Festivities begin on Christmas eve with a round of carol singing attended by locals and guests alike all around the piano. Christmas day lunch is a sumptuous cold buffet. Follow this with a walk along the river, a slice of Christmas cake and then a quick snooze in front of the fire to get your strength up for dinner. At Dinner is when we serve the traditional Christmas dinner with everyone dressing up in Black Tie with plenty of balloons, hats and crackers to jolly the proceedings along. There are several churches nearby with  services through out Christmas.   

Over Christmas we ask for a minimum three night stay and all guests are charged under the dinner, bed and breakfast rate for their chosen room as per the tariff . In addition to this we charge a Christmas supplement of £175 per guest per stay. So, a couple in a standard double for three nights over Christmas would cost £1004. (3 nights at £218 = £654 + £175 + £175 = £1004). This includes all meals but no drinks and extras.

New Year's Eve

We have a Black Tie Dinner and Dance on New Year’s Eve. The evening begins at 7.30pm with canapés and champagne and at 8pm we serve a five course set dinner. After dinner we dance the New Year in accompanied by a live band. There are normally 60-70 guests for this event and the cost is £85 per head (this includes champagne before dinner but not wine with dinner). If you wish to stay over New Year’s Eve we ask for a two night minimum stay.   

Gliffaes closes after breakfast on the 2nd January for 4 weeks.
