Christmas self-catering with a difference in our holiday house

The traditional Polish big Christmas meal is Wigilia on Christmas Eve, after which, children open their presents

This is a meatless meal with fish, especially carp, being one of the 12 courses.

Eating out in Poland is inexpensive. Book Christmas meals in the local restaurants or hotels for a taste of Poland and no washing-up. Or, if you prefer, cook a meal in the house. There is plenty of bone china to cater for a group of up to 10 people and a dishwasher to make life easy afterwards.

Return back to the house to enjoy games, company or any other entertainment you desire around the open fire.

There is a selection of DVDs and videos should you just want to relax in front of the telly.
