Happy Christmas to you all from the Arbuthnott Hol

Happy Christmas to you all from the Arbuthnott Holidays team 🎄

On Friday night we enjoyed a lovely Christmas dinner at @laraizgaucin. The whole team was out to celebrate together and we are delighted to have Hugh and Jane as well for the festivities!

Happy New Year 💚

Nothing beats family time 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

We had an lovely 24 hours in Malaga this week, visiting Las Luces del Botánico in Malaga. A fascinating winter lights show at the Botanical Gardens, which Clare loved more than the girls, it seemed!

An evening full of Christmas spirit and an overnight stay at our favourite @molina_lario hotel.

Feeling Christmassy! 🎄

We are researching Southern Portugal for the Arbuthnott Holidays Agency and we have found an absolute gem in Sagres… great for family holidays, lots of well organised activities and a beautiful beach that is perfect for swimming. A bonus of covid that we had it to ourselves!! Only an hours drive from Faro.

Lots of people ask us what we do and where we host

Lots of people ask us what we do and where we host our holidays from so here it is... the beautiful home created by my in laws. A gorgeous 9 bedroom farmhouse with views stretching over rolling Andalusian countryside and deep into North Africa.
Sadly due to COVID we haven’t run any holidays here since October 2019 but the house awaits patiently for the momento when holidays will start again. In the meantime here are a few photos to remind you.

Aquí está la casa donde trabajamos y organizamos las vacaciones. La casa diseñado por mis suegros con un toque muy personal, tiene 9 habitaciones con vistas preciosas hasta Africa.
Mientras que aguantamos los tiempos de COVID os recordamos como es la casa y que aquí estamos mientras esperando con paciencia y ganas de volver.
