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.

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.

  • 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.
