Our 2018 Christmas tour will be based in Cheshire one of the most picturesque counties in England typified by its black and white magpie houses set in idyllic countryside. With a heritage which can be traced to Roman times, the county is renowned for its historic houses, waterways, fascinating museums and the production of the famous crumbly white Cheshire cheese.
Our base for the tour is the superb 4* Q PARK ROYAL HOTEL which is located in the picturesque village of Stretton near Warrington and surrounded by beautiful landscaped grounds. Originating from a vicarage to the nearby St Matthews Church, the hotel blends a beautiful mix of modern facilities with elegant grandeur. The hotel features a restaurant, lounge and bar along with a superb leisure club which includes a pool, fully equipped gym, jacuzzi and sauna. All of the well appointed en suite bedrooms feature tv, telephone, hairdryer and hospitality tray. A passenger lift serves all floors.
