Abbott Hall, South Lakes

Lindors Country House, Wye Valley

Moorlands Hotel, North Yorkshire

Sidholme, Devon

Treloyhan Manor, Cornwall

Willersley Castle, Derbyshire Dales

The hotels are mostly located within spacious grounds, with plenty of sporting and recreation facilities.
Whilst hugely popular with younger Christian families, The hotels are mainly frequented by older people when it is out of season (i.e. Term-Time).

Themes & Activities

Each hotel has its own calendar of themed weeks, some designed to appeal to different interest groups. Some of the special interest breaks include Singing, Painting, Walking and Coach Tour weeks. During the holiday seasons, 'Family Fun' weeks usually occupy the calendar.

Hosts

Christian Guild Hotels are somewhat different from most hotels, in that there is a greater sense of fellowship amongst guests.<ref> </ref>
Also, each week (or weeks), there is a Host family, or couple, who help liase between guests and hotel management, and organise the events, etc. The hosts are guests, who sign up beforehand to play this role.

Worship

Christian worship is rooted into the very day to day running of Christian Guild Holidays. There are many opportunities to partake in worship- Worship usually takes place in the morning (prayers session), and in the evening. Grace is said at every meal in the hotel dining rooms by the host.
