November Folly Tariff

Not looking forward to Christmas Shopping this year? Why not take advantage of our Special Packages to do some 'relaxed' Christmas Shopping in the towns and villages of the Lake District while enjoying a peaceful 'Short Break'.

Why not take a Weekend Break: -

arrive in time for dinner on the Friday night

spend the day wandering around the lovely, individual shops choosing your gifts, maybe

stopping for coffee at one of the many cafe's

before returning to relax by the fire

As part of the package choose from either:

a complimentary bottle of house wine with dinner

or Afternoon Tea on one afternoon

All for just £370 for 2 people when sharing a standard double / twin room

It's a great time of year with still plenty to see and do, but fewer people - so no queues or traffic! Ambleside does not suffer from 'Christmas Shopper frenzy' so we can promise you no parking problems or crowds and plenty of individual small shops to find that unusual gift - some are offering a 10% discount exclusively to our guests (see below for participating businesses).

Prefer to come Midweek? No problem - take your Winter Break Sunday - Thursday and get exactly the same package for just £350.

Take a break from Christmas shopping and treat yourself to a cruise on one of Windermere Lake Cruises boats or indulge in some treatments at the local Oxleys Spa, and get 10% off those too. So come on, make 2009 the year your actually enjoy Christmas Shopping!

Upgrade to one of our superior rooms for a supplement of £50 or a suite for £110

Additional nights from £105 Bed & Breakfast

Add 3-course dinner on the other nights at the discounted rate of £30 per person

(normally £38)
