From a Christmas of over-indulgence and celebration to a dry January and hard-to-keep health resolutions, it's little wonder that we can feel weary with the excesses of the festive season and early New Year.

Get some balance back this New Year with an energising press trip at fast-growing independent hotel group Hallmark Hotels, who is offering opportunities for short-break press trip escapes to help you avoid disappointing extreme diets and get 2018 off to a relaxed, balanced and healthy start.

Hallmark Hotels will create a personalised package to suit your needs with a combination of active and revitalising activities all served with complimentary and nourishing meals at the hotel restaurant.

Choose from a selection of reviving treats including:

• Put your relaxation in the hands of one of the experienced therapists at the hotel spa, where you can enjoy a treatment designed to refresh, pamper and set you up for a successful 2018, such as our new Raindrop massage, our Hallmark's Magic of East massage or our Prescriptive Discovery facial.
• Perfect your swing and get outdoors with a game of golf at selected hotels, such as Hallmark Hotel The Welcombe in beautiful Stratford-upon-Avon
• Brush off the Christmas cobwebs with a work out at the health club or have a dip in the hotel pool
• Explore a nearby beautiful beach such wide sandy stretch just minutes from Hallmark Hotel Bournemouth West Cliff or take a stroll in stunning Cotswolds country near Hallmark Hotel Gloucester
• After an energetic and reviving itinerary, finish off by treating yourself from the brand new Hallmark Hotels Afternoon Tea menu
• And finally, why not savour a fruit-packed mocktail in the cosy hotel lounge

Hotels to choose from are Hallmark Hotel Gloucester, for a spot of action and adventure, which is just minutes from the longest ski slope in England and Wales and the historic Forest of Dean.

Golf-lovers should head to Hallmark Hotel The Welcombe in Shakespeare Country, home to an 18-hole championship golf course and 157 acres of glorious landscaped grounds.

The brand was formed in 2007 with a portfolio of eight hotels, which were acquired by Topland Group in 2014, one of the largest, privately-owned international investment groups, following the earlier acquisition of the former Menzies Hotel group of 12 hotels in 2013. In 2015, the group was further strengthened by the acquisition of eight Feathers hotels, all based in the North West of England. The group now comprises a collection of 28 hotels across the UK, offering over 2,600 bedrooms and over 170 meeting rooms.
