Designed exclusively for adults Breaks from £199* per person Britain’s getting booked Forget the travel quarantines and the Brexit rules.

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.

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. From classic national dishes to great British bands and entertainers, our 2021 is all about applauding the tastes and sounds of Britain. There are brand-new restaurants and menus. There’s a packed line-up of new headliners, tribute acts and festivals. There’s reimagined afternoon tea (and new lounges and terraces with fire pits for enjoying it) and an inspired team show charting the music of the 70s, 80s and 90s. But also so much more. Traditional country sports in the grounds, gin festivals, wine tastings, new cycle trails, recommended walking routes, outdoor theatre… they’re all on the menu. And they’ve never looked more appetising.

Britain is just as rich in archaeology with castles, palaces, museums, art, cathedrals and ancient market towns. It’s a wonderful world out there. And it’s right on our doorstep.
