CHRISTMAS
WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS
By
Christine Fagg
Are you sick of coping with mountains of
washing up, family disagreements and the mad scramble to keep on top of
everything over Christmas? Then why not "get away from
it all" on a festive break? But act fast because bookings are
selling fast.
Throughout the country there are 200 Best
Western Hotels - many running Festive Breaks over the Christmas period
and all oozing character, warmth, friendliness and - "food to die
for". These breaks include dinner, bed and breakfast and
start from the 23rd or 24th December. They run for two,
three, four or more consecutive nights and prices start from £120 p.p
for a 2 night break and rise to £525 for a 4 night break.
Prices vary, but to give examples, a two night
break at The Best Western Raglan Hall Hotel at Highgate in London costs
from £120 p.p, and a three night break at the Best Western Derwent
Manor Hotel in Consett, Durham from £200 p.p. A four night break
at the Best Western Heronston Hotel at Bridgend in Wales costs from £250
per person and four nights at The Best Western Grand Hotel, Torquay £525.
