"Great service, excellent staff, marvellous food & stunning views"
The Pilgrim
A Classic British Christmas Break
Come and spend your Xmas Break in our lovely Victorian Country House Hotel,
where you can relax and let our excellent staff deal with the stressful preparations
for Christmas. Last year's breaks sold out very quickly, so book early to secure your place.
The leisurely programme that we have planned for your Christmas Break will leave you free to enjoy the peace
of our beautiful Herefordshire countryside. There are many walks and places of interest in the area and we will be pleased to help plan a day out for you.
Christmas Eve, 24th December
Arrive in the afternoon and enjoy a warming glass of mulled wine and a brandied mince pie
in our cosy bar with it’s roaring log fire and beamed ceiling. After a relaxing afternoon, with perhaps, a stroll in the grounds or along the nearby country lanes,
join us in the bar for canapés and a pre-dinner cocktail and meet your fellow guests before we move into the restaurant for a candlelit
a la carte meal.
Christmas Day, 25th December
In the morning a full English breakfast, Bucks Fizz and a gift from the
hotel and staff awaits you in the restaurant, where you can enjoy the
superb views of the parkland and Golden Valley beyond.
The rest of the morning can be spent reading one of the complimentary
newspapers in the lounge or taking one of the circular walks that start
from outside the hotel. Christmas lunch is an elegant 4-course meal with something to tempt every
palette. After the feast why not enjoy a quiet read or board game in the
lounge or for the more energetic a walk around the surrounding lanes.
In the evening there will be a buffet which is eaten at your leisure.
Boxing Day, 26th December
A late Brunch will be served in the restaurant and bar leaving you free
for the rest of the day to visit some local attractions such as the quaint
market town of Ross-on-Wye or the Hereford Cathedral where the world famous
Mappa Mundi is housed.
On your return there will be a delicious afternoon tea of homemade scones
and fresh cream served in the lounge and bar.
A candlelit four course farewell dinner will then be served in the restaurant between 7.00 – 9.00pm.
27th and 28th December
After a hearty full English breakfast we bid a fond farewell to some of our guests.
For those who are remaining, in the evening we will be serving a candlelit a la carte meal in the restaurant.
