Britain's best hotels to spend Christmas 2015

Checking in to a hotel can be the perfect way to experience a stress-free Christmas in Britain. With Christmas dinner prepared for you by a chef and all the festive fun taken care of, you can sit back, relax and enjoy this wonderful time of year.

A Christmas break in the UK means mulled wine in front of the fire, presents from Santa and even the Queen's speech, so you don't have to miss out on your favourite home comforts. As a real treat, you can go for a walk on the beach, indulge in afternoon tea or dress up for a black tie party, as many hotels pull out all the stops for their Christmas guests.

Typically, you will arrive on Christmas Eve to experience the festive build-up to the big day, as classic Christmas films are played in the cosy lounge, Christmas carols are heard around the twinkling tree and a visit to the local church at midnight keeps Christmas traditional.

Whether you fancy a romantic Christmas escape as a couple or something fun for the whole family, there is plenty to keep everyone entertained. One seaside hotel in Suffolk invites you to take part in the annual Boxing Day swim, while a Cotswolds bolthole has clay pigeon shooting, quad biking and Segway safaris for all to enjoy. A luxurious hotel in London has even teamed up with the English National Ballet so you can experience the Nutcracker from the splendour of your own box.
