Just 12 days to go until Christmas and preparations continue in earnest. As always the Christmas trees in the lounge and lobby have introduced life and light into these greyish December days. The Watersmeet Hotel was built in 1907 by an Edwardian gentleman as a summer residence. We are not sure if he ever spent Christmas at the hotel but he may well have hosted a house party in much the same way that we do today. In that instance the house would have been decorated with handmade garlands and greenery - as the first modern "electric" Christmas displays were not introduced until 1912!

We still have a few rooms available for our three day Christmas package. If you would like to join us or find out more then please call us on 01271 870333 or visit Christmas at Watersmeet Hotel
Today it looks as if it is trying to snow.
