Although we’re still enjoying summer, with September just around the corner, it’s not long before many of us will be thinking about our next holiday, which is usually Christmas. Getting away for the festive period is a popular option nowadays, and whether you’re dreaming of escaping for Christmas or New Year, Country Cottages Online has some great ideas to make sure you have the best festive holiday yet in 2019!

Christmas Markets

For festive shopping and enjoyable days out, there are a good choice of Christmas markets scattered across the UK. Popular markets run in the big cities like London, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Bath, Manchester and Belfast, as well as other large towns. Some like to stay in the city or in large towns but for a more chilled out break this festive period, why not rent a country cottage in the countryside near to one of the Christmas markets that interest you?

Big Family Gatherings

For some, what makes Christmas and New Year truly special is the chance to get together with close family and often extended family too. Gathering together with brothers, sisters, parents and even family members like cousins and even aunts and uncles can make festive celebrations all the more special.

If you’d like to get together with family this Christmas or New Year, renting a large self-catering holiday house could be the perfect option for celebrating and holidaying altogether.
