The Stratton House Hotel is the perfect location for a Christmas break in the Cotswolds with a four night inclusive package from only £565 per person. Set in the heart of the Cotswolds the hotel originally dates back to the 17th century when it was the home of a leading local wool merchant. It exudes traditional comforts, elegance and style, combined with modern amenities. Ample on site car parking is available.

For the first day of your Christmas break at the Stratton House Hotel, be sure to arrive in time for the welcome afternoon drinks and canapés reception where you can chat with fellow guests and also the general manager and his team to discuss the Christmas events planned for the forthcoming days.

Your first evening of your Christmas break is filled with musical entertainment from local musicians whilst enjoying a fine 4 course dinner served with wine. On Christmas Eve on your Cotswolds break we arrange activity days out in Cirencester as well as within the local area including a Christmas themed Santa steam railway trip. Alternatively, if you're looking for a more relaxed Christmas Eve, consider our morning tea and afternoon coffee sessions back at the hotel followed by a relaxing four course dinner. Once the exciting antics of Christmas Day morning are over you will be served a grand, traditional five course Christmas dinner. After a spot of afternoon tea this will lead onto the evening's entertainment of local musicians playing relaxing music whilst indulging on our chef's display buffet. Boxing Day is officially panto day at the Stratton House so it's off to the local theatre in Tewkesbury for a traditional pantomime to see such favorites including 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Peter Pan'.

Once your Christmas Break in the Cotswolds has come to an end, you can still take advantage of our 'St Nicholas Breaks' where you can stay for an additional two nights from only £60 per person per night.
