All inclusive Christmas and New Year packages are available at both Oxford Abingdon Four Pillars Hotel and Oxford Witney Four Pillars Hotel from just £320 per person based on a two night stay with all meals and drinks included - everything from bucks fizz breakfasts and full afternoon teas to seven course gala dinners and mince pies with mulled wine. 

Guests who prefer a little more privacy can choose to stay at one of the luxury self-catering apartments at Cotswold Water Park. Combining the flexibility of a self-catering holiday with the convenience of the hotel's facilities on site, these stylish self-catering apartments are perfect for families, groups and couples. It can also be arranged for a Christmas Day lunch to be delivered to your apartment on the day.****.
