🎄✨ CHRISTMAS DAY, BUT WITHOUT THE COOKING, CLEANING OR CHAOS… ✨🎄

Imagine bringing the whole family together this Christmas Day, settling into your own cosy, private space and enjoying all the things that make Christmas feel like home — without spending the day in the kitchen.

🎁 Have your presents waiting beneath the Christmas tree, ready for the big reveal.
🎶 Put your favourite Christmas songs on and sing along.
🎬 Get that mandatory Christmas film playing on the big screen while you tuck into lunch.
🎲 Bring the board games and settle those family rivalries with a Christmas Day UNO showdown.
❤️ And most importantly… enjoy being together.

The Tudor Room gives you the freedom to create Christmas Day your way, in a warm and private setting where the only thing you need to worry about is who gets the last roast potato!

No cooking. No washing up. No clearing the table. Just Christmas. 🎄✨

Gather the whole family and make this Christmas one to remember ✨

We would like to say a massive thank you to Hollie, who has been our General Manager last 3 and a half years 🤍

Hollie isn’t leaving the company.. just moving onto a new role within Surya Hotels! So you’ll still see her around ☺️

She has worked hard consistently over the years to ensure the happiness of all staff and guests, and the whole George family, past and present, agree that she is a huge credit to the team. Always with a smile on her face, and always making everyone laugh, she will be missed daily!

Good luck in your new role Hollie, and we wish you all the continued success 🤍
