Guests depart after breakfast on 27 December.

The entire stay is Hosted by Friendship Travel, balancing sociable activities like a quiz and walking in nearby Colney Valley Park, with ‘me time’ including complimentary use of the hotel’s large indoor pool and health club.

Alternatively, single travellers can escape to Morocco, and the four-star Iberostar Founty Beach Hotel right on the beach at Agadir.
