Belmond British Pullman - Festive Bath

Holiday Itinerary

Day 1 Morning departure from your local pick-up point, we have a stop at Polhill Garden centre before continuing to Brooklands Motor Museum to explore airplanes, racing cars and buses at the world's first purpose-built racetrack. Our evening meal will be in a local restaurant walking distance from the hotel.

Day 2 Celebrate the season in timeless style aboard a festive train journey from London to Bath aboard the iconic Belmond British Pullman, sister train to the Orient Express.
Step into the golden age of rail travel, where the journey itself is a celebration. Travel in beautifully restored 1920s carriages, adorned with plush armchairs, handcrafted marquetry, and elegant art deco touches, as liveried stewards provide impeccable service throughout. Your holiday adventure begins with a lavish three-course brunch, accompanied by a sparkling Bellini, as you glide through the winter-kissed countryside on route to the enchanting city of Bath-celebrated for its Georgian splendour, thermal waters, vibrant Christmas markets, and recognition as one of the Michelin Guide's 10 most exciting foodie destinations in 2025. The festive indulgence continues on your return journey with a champagne reception and an opulent four-course dinner, perfectly complemented by fine wine and presented on bespoke china and crystal. (Two and a half hours free time in Bath).

Day 3 Experience: Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle, perched gracefully on a hill overlooking the Thames, is one of the oldest and largest occupied castles in the world. A favourite weekend retreat of Queen Elizabeth II, this majestic residence has housed British royalty for over 1,000 years. Visitors can explore its opulent State Apartments, adorned with masterpieces by renowned artists, and the stunning St. George's Chapel, a Gothic masterpiece that is the resting place of ten monarchs.
We then make our way back to Chelmsford after our visit.
