A luxury hotel in Gloucestershire is looking to save Christmas for a family affected by the cost of living crisis with a free three-day stay.

With the cost of living continuing to increase and Christmas just around the corner, Stonehouse Court, near Stroud, is seeking to save the 'most wonderful time of the year' for families affected most by the current economic crisis.

Targeting families who are unable to fulfil their Christmas plans due to the ongoing cost of living crisis, Stonehouse Court is offering a three-day package worth £2,670 for a family of up to six to enjoy across Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day - completely free of charge.

With family-friendly packages a key part of its approach, the hotel was keen to explore a way it can offer struggling families a solution for those engulfed in financial turmoil this winter.

The launch of the winter package comes off the back of a similar initiative the hotel launched in the summer to 'save' family vacations due to flight cancellations. Its 'carbon saving cancellation' package offered discounted home-grown holiday options for those faced with cancelled flights - while also rewarding guests with 'carbon credits' to spend at the hotel depending on how much carbon their cancelled flight would save.

Now the hotel is looking to save Christmas for one family by encouraging those who have had their plans affected by uncontrollable factors, such as job losses, cost increases and family crisis to apply for the complementary three-day stay.

To get involved, families can write directly to the hotel team via its website, summarising why they believe they deserve to spend Christmas in the Cotswolds at the 17th Century Manor House.

Maz Jurko, general manager of Stonehouse Court, said: "I think everyone has been impacted in some format following the economic downturn. However, it's inconceivable to think that the increased cost of living is forcing some families to consider cancelling their Christmas plans.

"Such a prospect just didn't sit well with our team and we wanted to make it feasible to save someone's Christmas. Sadly, we can't help everyone affected in these tumultuous times, though, showcasing goodwill to one selected family can hopefully go a long way in encouraging others to go that extra mile, too. It is the time for giving, after all."

He added: "Here at Stonehouse Court, we're all about family values, which we feel is reflected throughout the Five Valleys community. There's a reason the Cotswolds is one of the most popular destinations in the UK and we want one lucky family to experience the magic it has to offer during the most important time of the year for families."

The 'Saving Christmas' package is open from Monday, 7th November until Thursday, November 24th.
