Tips & Advice

  • Pre-book New Year’s Day breakfast, since it is required whether you choose breakfast in bed, The Stables or The Glasshouse.
  • Budget for full pre-payment when booking; it is non-refundable, so review the package terms before committing.
  • For a Glasshouse dinner, plan around the 2.5-hour table allocation on New Year’s Eve.
  • Reserve Anouska’s Creche in advance if you need childcare; it is pre-booked and sessions on 31 December and 1 January cost extra.
  • Pack warm layers for the midnight fireworks and woodland outings, since both involve spending time outdoors in winter.
