The UK has a great choice of superb places to stay for Christmas cottage breaks. Escape to the Highlands of Scotland and immerse yourself in hills, glens and countryside, or maybe do a spot of skiing in the Cairngorms where there is often snow. Or head somewhere like the Cotswolds and visit the beautiful Blenheim Palace with its superb Christmas events. Or book a Christmas cottage in Norfolk where you can enjoy both time in the countryside and by the coast on a festive break. There are so many great options in the UK, where you can relax with a glass of Prosecco, celebrate with friends and family and let the good times roll in your chosen home from home.

Popular areas include Norfolk, Yorkshire, the Scottish Highlands, and of course Pembrokeshire in Wales. Book the property that best suits you and look forward to a traditional family Christmas in a cosy welcoming home from home environment.

Festive Cottages Decorated for Christmas

For festive breaks, some cottage owners decorate their properties complete with a Christmas tree, baubles and festive lights, ready for your family and friends to arrive and celebrate! If you just want to turn up, booking a cottage decorated for Christmas could be the ideal choice. Remember though to bring your Christmas presents with you to put under the tree, as well as provisions for Christmas day and Boxing day!

Whether the holiday home you choose comes already decked out for Xmas or whether you'd need to dress the tree yourself and bring your own Christmas decorations, getting in to the festive spirit and adding a bit of sparkle and tinsel all adds to the magic of Christmas, and children in particular love this part of the festivities. Cottage owners will be happy to let you know about festive Christmas activities such as carol concerts, Christmas fairs and special events going on in their area.

Whatever type of holiday accommodation you opt to rent for your Christmas break, booking early is advised for the best choice.
