No Cooking Christmas - Staycation ideas

Hi All,
We were supposed to be going away for Christmas but due to work commitments I/we can't go:mad:. I vowed I'd have a "No Cooking Christmas 2015" and I'm not about to give up on that dream!!! Originally we would've been in a hotel in sunny CT, South Africa, but that's no longer happening, so I'll settle for a hotel in the UK for 3/4 nights, checking in on 24 December 2015 and checking out 27 or 28 December 2015?
Any suggestions? (I love Luxury and want to be pampered :eek:)

Cook everything in advance.
Pre-cook things the way restaurants do, so everything is three quarters cooked and frozen so you only need to get it out and blast in a microwave.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

Weoften get away for a few nights to Fawsley Hall in Northants - nice little spa in lovely grounds for walks.

I can imagine that a Christmas hotel break would be very expensive, but if you have the budget, that's absolutely fine.
If it was me, I would cater Christmas etc using ready made/shove in the oven from M&S, Waitrose, Cook etc and then have the hotel break in the Canaries in early January (if you are there for the evening of the 5th, you will see the Three Kings Parade, which can be spectacular.0 -
Slayley Hall in Northumberland is supposed to be lovely:

Impose on your children if you have any. That's what I'm doing anyway!0

Tempted to say 'give me a thousand pounds and I will look after you for three days'
I'm not a bad cook and have a nice Christmas tree. I will even let you pick what to watch on TV or play charades with you for a grand. "'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

When did the UK leave the UK and become a foreign country?0
