On the eve of Christmas, the festivities kick off. Guests can relish an afternoon tea featuring rich mince pies and aromatic mulled wine, all while enjoying melodies from our beloved jazz trio. As the sun sets, you’re encouraged to discover Cowes, returning to the hotel just in time for a festive cocktail hour.
The celebration continues post-dinner, where Chef Jake Storey showcases a seasonally inspired menu. Dance to live music, indulge in a nightcap, and partake in the time-honored tradition of hanging stockings.
On Christmas morning, delight in the simple joys of unwrapping presents from the comfort of your bed. After a leisurely breakfast, you may choose a refreshing seafront walk or a cozy gathering by our open fireplaces. A decadent four-course Christmas lunch by Chef Storey awaits, boasting a succulent turkey and the ever-favorite Christmas pudding.
The afternoon invites relaxation. Sink into plush sofas, peruse our book selection, or take a brisk walk in the provided wellies. And for those with a lingering hunger, our ‘leftovers’ buffet offers a spread perfect for evening grazing.
Boxing Day brings a chance to rejuvenate. Start with a Bloody Mary paired with a hearty breakfast. Then, consider the traditional Boxing Day Swim at Gurnard Beach, or explore the island on our complimentary bicycles. An optional late lunch at Smoking Lobster Cowes, featuring an Asian-inspired menu, rounds off your experience.
