As the festive season draws near, Lympstone Manor Hotel emerges as one of the most enchanting destinations for a truly Luxury Christmas and New Year Break in the UK.
Tucked away in Devon, this Grade II-listed Georgian manor, owned by Michelin-starred chef Michael Caines, blends refined hospitality, fine dining, and coastal charm into an unforgettable seasonal retreat.
“A handsome Grade II-listed Georgian manor house… with stunning views of the water, the rolling British countryside and the hotel’s very own vineyard.” That’s how Vanity Fair captures Lympstone’s scenic elegance, where every guest room and suite is lovingly named after a native bird and the interior design is inspired by the avian namesake. The six cosy Shepherd Huts, each with a log fire for the long winter nights, are situated in secluded woodland at the bottom of the Lympstone Manor vineyard.
Christmas Stays at Lympstone Manor
For festive stays, 24th to 27th December, the manor is imbued with seasonal warmth. With its halls decorated in full splendour, Lympstone Manor comes alive with its three-night Christmas package: enjoy mulled wine, mince pies, Christmas carols from a live brass band, and an unforgettable Christmas Eve eight-course tasting menu curated by Michael Caines himself.
On Christmas Day, a lavish Champagne breakfast precedes a five-course festive lunch or dinner featuring Michael’s Mum’s famous Christmas pudding. Then, on Boxing Day, guests enjoy a vineyard tour and wine tasting before unwinding with fireside relaxation with a relaxed à la carte dinner.
