Lodges and large houses with availability for Christmas and New Year celebrations

New Year and Christmas accommodation - live vacancies for 2022 / 2023.

Christmas and New Year is traditionally a family-orientated time, so for those who want to take a break away from home during the Festive season, this can be difficult. This is more so for large families or groups of friends where they have the requirement to ensure everyone is able to be under one roof at one time to celebrate the holiday together.

However, we can solve this quandary, showing you accommodation in country houses and lodges for large family groups or groups of friends, that is available to rent. A traditional Christmas lunch can be organised under the one roof, without having any members of the family or friends’ group having to live at different locations. It also saves suffering the hassle associated with trying to find a location comprised of enough separate accommodation units that are available to rent at one and the same time. Self-catering gives you options to be organised in advance with the festive menus and cooking, to get a working party to peel the potatoes, order prepared meals locally or to hire a cook for the holiday.

More importantly, it also saves anyone having to drive or arrange transport to get to a central location. Everyone in the group can be together without anyone having the inconvenience of organising travel to and from and their own accommodation.

Also, the worry of having enough room for everyone to sit around one table together disappears, as all our large holiday houses feature all the facilities to cater for the larger group. However we recommend that you book well in advance as many of the larger houses do not have last minute availability, and often families return from a previous year. 2022 and 2023 are being booked already for Christmas and New Year.

And it’s not only for meals, as everyone can be located in the one property with enough bedrooms to meet the accommodation needs of all the members of the family or friends’ group. There is also plenty of room for socialising, with all able to sit together comfortably. So for example, organising a reception before lunch or dinner becomes simplicity itself in terms of having a large enough space for everyone.

What's important when choosing a holiday house for the festival season? The location, the number of beds - roaring fire or wood burning stove - hot tub - games room? It's good to consider the 'wet weather' plan when holidaying in UK!
