We stay at the Esplanade hotel for 4 nights with a Christmas programme of good food and entertainment.
Christmas Eve: After a hearty breakfast you’ll enjoy a morning trip out to the beautiful Cowal Peninsula. This is an area of outstanding natural beauty and it’s on our doorstep - just to the west of Dunoon, the region lies between Loch Fyne and Loch Long.
We return to our hotel for a light lunch around 12:30pm.
Christmas Day: A super day is all laid out for you and you don’t have to lift a finger! Starting with a hearty breakfast including a glass of Bubbly.
