Maybe you can’t decide which family member’s home to spend Christmas at, or perhaps you’d like to change things up and go away for the festive season. If you’d like something a bit different this year, take a look at these holiday cottages for some inspiration!
Whether you find a last-minute booking or get organised for next year, make sure you have a cosy, warm and comfortable Christmas.
Perfect for the whole family
If you have a large family and enjoy spending the holidays all together, this Victorian manor house is the perfect place for you to celebrate. Sea Valley Regent House sits within 55 acres of beautiful Cornish countryside. It is close to Looe and sleeps 18 people. But don’t worry; you’ll all have plenty of space within its 7 bedrooms. The spacious property has sea views and an indoor heated swimming pool for the whole family to enjoy.
A romantic retreat
If something a little more low-key is what you’re after this Christmas, why not head to Beudy Bach in Lampeter, Wales to enjoy some peace and quiet at this converted 18th century cowshed? The cosy retreat has everything you’ll need – from an AGA for rustling up some hearty grub to a TV and DVD player for snuggling up and watching a festive film. And as if this isn’t romantic enough, guests can also enjoy the wood-fired hot tub – wow!
Something a little different
If you’ve done the whole Christmas cottage thing before, then why not embark on a family adventure to Edinburgh? Spend your holidays at the Belle Boatique, which is permanently moored at the Lochrin Basin. The houseboat has two bedrooms and sleeps four, so why not enjoy a festive trip up to Scotland with your partner and children?
Fairytale Christmas
Christmas always looks better on films – no stress, no cramming members into your home, no clearing up to do – so why not treat this year like a fairytale in this quirky home? The Old Palace Apartment was once part of the great hall at the Old Duchy Palace in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. A grand, but still cosy and pretty property, head here as a family (the apartment sleeps 6) or with a group of friends and forget about the world outside.
The traditional escape
If the idea of curling up in a fur throw in a wooden lodge is your idea of the perfect Christmas, fear not – you do not need to head to Scandinavia to enjoy a traditional holiday! Check out Wonham Waters in Dulverton, Devon. This charming log cabin sleeps five and sits within 100 acres of untouched woodland – it doesn’t get more cosy than this.
