][1]Still not decided what you want for Christmas? How about living out a Downton Abbey fantasy?
The Hotel du Vin at One Devonshire Gardens have hit upon the brilliant wheeze of marketing the exclusive use of the hotel’s Townhouse Four and Five as a Downton experience.
Would-be Earls and Countesses of Grantham can swan around their private apartments attended by staff dressed in period costumes.
Just like the TV show, arriving guests will be greeted on arrival by their own butler and then they will be assisted by their own personal maid and cooked for by their own chef.
Prices start from £335 per person.
If that seems a little steep for bank balances which have been battered by festive spending gales then you might prefer the bistro at Hotel du Vin @ One Dev.
They regularly run 5pm offers on meals cooked by their recently arrived head chef, Darin Campbell, a man who has seen the inside of many a Michelin-starred kitchen.
And on that note, I’m off to scoff mince pies. Have a Merry Christmas.
