The Alpine Lodge at Old Government House Hotel 

In winter, our terrace is transformed into a stylish and cosy Alpine Lodge complete with snowy scenery and everything you’d want in an après ski experience. Rustic wooden walls and a flickering fire, barrel tables, skis, sledges, and sofas with chunky rugs and fleeces set the scene for a festive celebration.

The bar is fully stocked with festive drinks including mulled wine, hot spiced cider, beer, and a wide selection of schnapps and flavoured vodka to get you into the Christmas spirit.

Enjoy our indulgent hot chocolate and platters of delicious food, and discover our Family Sundays, when children are especially welcome with festive activities and a chance to meet Father Christmas.
