Christmas at Careys Manor 2014

Christmas breaks

Christmas at Careys Manor Hotel is my favourite time of year; we are in a wonderful location in the heart of the New Forest and during the winter months the landscape is beautiful – you never get tired of the picturesque drive through the forest, past miles of heathland and ancient woodland and of course, our friends, the hardy New Forest Ponies.

It is always a pleasure welcoming our guests into the warmth and comfort of our cosy Manor Lounge, which always promises a toasty log fire, the perfect setting to enjoy a warming glass of mulled wine and of course, festive Mince Pie. For those guests eager to experience a New Forest expedition, there are miles of walking routes and cycle paths to discover and we are always happy to help you find your way; explore local villages or guide you to one of the New Forest’s charming country pubs.

If on the other hand it’s pampering and relaxation you’re after, I must recommend our award winning spa, SenSpa, which offers an extensive list of treatments for those looking for true indulgence or luxurious spa facilities for those of you seeking a Thai inspired sanctuary.

As well as promoting relaxation, we like to encourage our guests to discover the delicious cuisine in our three restaurants; as unique and individual as our guests, there is something to suit every taste - enjoy exquisite fine dining in the Manor Restaurant, an authentic Thai feast in the Zen Garden or rustic French cuisine in Le Blaireau, Bar & Bistro.

I hope we may have the pleasure of your company this festive season, where we will organise everything so all that is left for you is to relax and enjoy Champagne, festivities, music and warmth, forming your most memorable Christmas at Careys Manor Hotel.

Best wishes

Thomas Lyon-Shaw | Hotel Manager
