At Christian Guild we have been organising fully catered holidays in our incredible hotels for over 100 years. However, we can also tailor your holiday to your wish list to ensure the perfect escape.

We have a number of developments lined up for 2019, including a new website with easy access for online bookings.

Early Payment Discount

We continue to offer our fantastic Early Payment Discount deal — pay for your holiday in full at least six months before it starts, you can save 4%!

(Excludes our Holidays Further Afield.)

Holidays for Individuals – No Single Supplements

If you holiday alone, you’ll know that many hotels and holiday companies add a supplement to the advertised price if you’re on your own. But not at Christian Guild as we have a number of single rooms at each hotel, and at certain times of the year we have double and twin rooms as well without a single supplement.

With a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere, you’ll find our hotels offer a great break for you. And we’re sure you’ll meet new, like-minded friends.

Our Price Promise

With our Speciality Breaks catering for every aspect of your holiday, we guarantee that there are no hidden surcharges — the package price includes it all.

We also guarantee that our guests who book in advance will never pay a higher price than those who book at the ‘last minute’ — if we reduce the price of any of our UK Speciality Breaks, we will automatically apply the same savings to our customers who have already booked.

Best Price Guaranteed

Before you book your holiday with us through someone else, make sure to contact our hotels directly — we guarantee to provide the best price for your stay!

Hosts

As well as being looked after by our friendly and caring staff, on most weeks you’ll also be welcomed by our wonderful volunteer hosts. Our hosts make sure you have everything you need, take care of you on excursions, and lead the devotions and entertainment during your stay with us. It’s just one of the many ways that makes Christian Guild unique. You’re not just a tourist, you’re our guest and we want to make sure you always receive the warmest welcome and the best in Christian hospitality.

Speciality Breaks

Stay as you Please

There’s a wide variety of activities on offer covering everything you could possibly want: Arts & Crafts, Coach Holidays, Gardens, History & Heritage, Music & Dancing, Singles Breaks, Spiritual Breaks, and Walking Holidays.

There are also fantastic Family Breaks during the school holidays (p. 5), and a range of Celebration Breaks for Easter, Christmas and New Year (p. 6–7).

Stay as you Please gives you the flexibility to do whatever you want, but with the benefit of having knowledgeable staff on hand to help you plan your stay.

If you have a hobby or want to try a new experience, then our Speciality Breaks are renowned for offering a fantastic holiday.

You can choose what you do on a Speciality Break too.

So if you decide to visit a local tourist attraction during your stay, that’s up to you — you’re not obliged to take part in every activity because it’s all about you doing what you enjoy when you take a well-earned break.

Package Prices

If you decide to try a Speciality Break, then you’ll get a much better deal if you opt for our package price. Booking your accommodation and activities together is cheaper than booking separately and it means all the costs of excursions, tuition, and even, in some cases, packed lunches are paid for in advance of your holiday.

The brochure package prices are for standard en-suite accommodation; just contact the hotels if you would like an alternative accommodation option.

Alongside our Speciality Break programme, we are proud to offer our truly versatile Stay as you Please option all year round (excluding Christmas and New Year).

Each of our classic hotels is located in a beautiful part of England, surrounded by idyllic scenery and a host of fascinating attractions. From stately homes to adventure parks and local walks, our hotel teams have plenty of information on what to see and do in the area – with the added bonus of fantastic Christian Guild discounts and in some cases, free entry passes!

Chat with our friendly staff to come up with a jam-packed programme of fun or just take a break to relax with a good book – you can do as you please with our Stay as you Please breaks. You can book a minimum of two nights for a Stay as you Please holiday to make the most of these great value flexible stays.

Just call the hotel of your choice directly for prices and to book your next Stay as you Please holiday!

his magnificent 18th century Grade II* listed castle is set in sixty acres of grounds, ranging from grassy meadows to limestone crags.

Commissioned by the great industrialist, Sir Richard Arkwright, Willersley was completed in 1796. Its most striking feature is the Well Gallery – an oval gallery with a glass dome situated in the centre of the building, with cantilevered galleries on the first and second floors.

The grand building overlooks the picturesque River Derwent and stands on the edge of the stunning Peak District National Park. It is also at the heart of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.

There is a lot to enjoy in the stately surroundings of the hotel, such as a 15 metre indoor swimming pool, boules court and impressive parkland grounds.

Peaks & Dales

The area around Willersley Castle Hotel offers everything from industrial heritage to stately houses and breath-taking hiking and biking trails.

The historic village of Cromford is right on the doorstep, as is the Victorian spa-town of Matlock Bath, with cable-cars across the limestone gorge of the Derwent Valley up to the Heights of Abraham and the Rutland and Great Masson show caverns.

A few miles up the road you’ll find the 1000 acre Chatsworth Estate, with arguably the most magnificent stately home in the country.

It’s just one of the many attractions of the Peak District National Park – a walkers’ paradise full of dramatic moors, hidden dales and delightful villages. Whether you’re looking for an invigorating day of walking and climbing or just somewhere to enjoy a drink and admire the spectacular view, the Peak District has it all.

his superb 19th century manor house, built by Sir Edward Hain, offers you fantastic views across Carbis Bay in the award-winning Cornish coastal resort of St Ives. Set in beautiful gardens, Treloyhan Manor Hotel offers a range of superb bedrooms, free private parking, and delicious home-cooked cuisine with an emphasis on local produce from its fully licensed restaurant, including traditional Cornish cream teas.

Hotel facilities include flat-screen televisions and free wi-fi, pool table and table tennis for your enjoyment.

Beaches & Coves

1

• St Ives Bay & Porthminster Beach [1]

The far south-west peninsula of Cornwall could almost be another country. It basks in an all together warmer climate – allowing plants to grow here that would struggle in most other parts of Britain – and enjoys warmer waters lapping at its abundance of sandy beaches and crashing into its dramatic coves.

A European centre of tin-mining since before even Roman times (and Poldark!), there is a wealth of history and heritage embedded in the land, not to mention its fair share of myths and legends. If ‘those feet’ really did walk upon England’s mountains green, Cornwall is the most likely place they would have set down.

What is more certain is that they were followed by those of John Wesley in the late 1700s.

Places to Visit

• St Michael’s Mount • Land’s End [2] • The Lizard

• Kynance Cove • Mousehole • Penzance

• Cathedral City of Truro

2

Local Attractions • Tate Gallery St Ives • Minack Theatre

• Lost Gardens of Heligan • Levant Mine [4]

• The Eden Project [3]

• Trengwainton Gardens

3

Now, millions of feet make the journey along the peninsula each year as Cornwall remains one of the UK’s most popular tourist destinations.
