    Designed exclusively for adults Breaks from £199* per person Britain’s getting booked Forget the travel quarantines and the Brexit rules. More than any other year, 2021 is the one to keep it local and enjoy travelling through the nation instead of over and beyond it. But why browse hundreds of holiday options when you can cut straight to the Warner 14? Full refunds and free changes on all bookings in 2021 Warner’s Coronavirus Guarantee is free on every break in 2021. It gives the flexibility to cancel and receive a full refund, swap dates or change hotels if anything coronavirus-related upsets travel plans. That means holiday protection against illness, tier restrictions, isolation, hotel closure, or simply if you’re feeling unsure. 2 After the quiet, the chorus is becoming louder. Across our private estates, bands are tuning up, chefs are pioneering new menus and the shows are dress rehearsed. And there’ll be no denying the decadence of dressing up for dinner and cocktails at any o’clock. This is the Twenties after all. And like the 1920s after the Spanish flu, it’ll feel so freeing to come back to wonderful views, delicious food and the best live music and acts in the country, all under the one roof. Who’s ready to get things roaring? A very British story Warner has been offering holidays for almost 90 years with historic mansions and coastal boltholes handpicked for their peaceful grounds and settings. A trusted brand with a signature warm-hearted welcome, we’re once more ready to get back to our roots and celebrate the very best of the land.

  • Scientists Reveal DNA of Happy Holiday Memories - and No Passport Required!
    Scientists Reveal DNA Of Happy Holiday Memories - And No Passport Required! Released on: March 03, 2010, 3:24 am Author: Butlins Family Holidays Industry: Travel Never mind sun, sand and sangria – British holidays have been voted the most memorable by 63% of people. The figures rise to 71% for parents in their 30s and 40s. The findings come from a study into happy memories by family holiday company Butlins. The company recruited Dr. Ilona Boniwell, Professor of Positive Psychology at the University of East London, to create the DNA of the perfect holiday memory by analysing thousands of holiday experiences. The results? The DNA of JOY: D: days of holiday N: new friends you make A: absorbing activities J: joy of the senses O: one and only moments Y: your family/loved ones around you Dr. Boniwell has identified a formula to capture the type of holiday most likely to deliver long-lasting, happy memories. “It is the abundance of absorbing activities and sharing with family and friends which prove to be the most influential ingredients of the perfect holiday formula,” explains Dr. Boniwell. Butlins conducted the research to find out which of our own childhood events triggered the happiest memories for today’s parents. Holidays came top with almost half of the 2000 parents polled, followed by school days (22%). A third of the parents polled also claimed that holidays were when they spent the most quality time with their own children, beating birthdays and Christmas. Surprisingly, over 90% said they did not feel they spent quality time with their kids on their birthdays.

  • Warner Leisure Hotels Crown First Official Strictly Come Dancing Break Winners Submitted By: Pr-Sending-Enterprises Monday, 15 March 2010
    Warner Leisure Hotels crown first official Strictly Come Dancing break winners Submitted by: pr-sending-enterprises Monday, 15 March 2010 Warner Leisure Hotels has announced that a couple from Abingdon has been crowned the winners of its first official Strictly Come Dancing holiday breaks. Amanda McCabe and Julian Siret were presented with an engraved glass glitter ball trophy by stars of the BBC TV show Darren Bennett and Lilia Kopylova after winning the final of the event held at the Warner Leisure Hotels' Cricket St Thomas hotel in Somerset. The couple, who began dancing only three years ago, won over the audience of more than 400 guests by performing an "absolutely superb" waltz to the song "To You I'm Born Again". Referring to the difference in height between 6ft 3ins Julian and Amanda, 5ft 2ins, Darren praised the couple for "going out there and moving beautifully". He added: "It is really refreshing to see some real quality dancing, and great movement." Fellow judge Ryan McShane, who provided dance instruction during the three-night UK Breaks (http://www.warnerleisurehotels.co.uk/short-breaks/uk-break.aspx) at the Cricket St Thomas hotel near Chard, said: "That was absolutely superb. This couple have a height difference but I just think you moved so well together." Lilia, also a judge, commended the couple for their "great achievement" and "very neat" footwork. The victory, in which they beat eight other couples in a vote by the audience, was all the more remarkable after their first entry in a competition two years ago ended in calamity.
