If you\u2019re in the habit of staying at home every year to welcome in the New Year, why not consider doing something different this year? Cottage holidays are popular all throughout the year and while you may not have considered staying in a cottage over the New Year period, it can actually be a very worthwhile experience. So if you\u2019re thinking of booking a holiday cottage getaway to end the current year and start the next one off, here\u2019s a guide to some of the best ones you may want to consider.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Find a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.countrycottagesonline.com\/cottages-available-New-Year.php\">cottage for a New Year break<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Cottages near the big New Year celebrations<\/h2>\n<p>Every year we see New Year\u2019s celebrations from major cities all around the world. The UK is no stranger to these festivities, with millions up and down the country gathering in large cities such as London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Glasgow, with many other cities, towns and villages up and down the country holding their own festivities. Of course, the biggest celebrations (and the most popular) are in the biggest cities. London\u2019s celebrations, for example, are seen around the world, with millions watching the dazzling fireworks display and seeing landmarks such as the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament lit up. If you want to take part in these huge celebrations, consider staying at a holiday cottage close by or just a train ride from London.<\/p>\n<p>Chances are, you\u2019re not going to be able to stay within walking distance of the celebrations since they\u2019re typically centrally located within the city and holiday cottages tend to be located a bit further away from bustling city centres. So you\u2019ll probably end up staying a train ride away from where the New Year\u2019s celebrations are set to take place. The great thing about staying in a holiday cottage close to major New Year\u2019s celebrations is that you get to take part in all the action and you\u2019re not just staying in some hotel close by: you\u2019ve got a comfortable, peaceful home-away-from-home away from the crowds.<\/p>\n<h2>Escape to the Country for a Big New Year&#8217;s Celebration with Friends<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_834\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.countrycottagesonline.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/champagnecelebration.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-834\" class=\"size-full wp-image-834\" src=\"https:\/\/www.countrycottagesonline.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/champagnecelebration.jpg\" alt=\"Champagne Celebration\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.countrycottagesonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/champagnecelebration.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.countrycottagesonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/champagnecelebration-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-834\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Celebrate with Champagne at New Year<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While city celebrations are hugely popular, many prefer more intimate celebrations with their close friends and family. If this sounds like you, you may want to look for cottages that have more space, so there\u2019s plenty of room for entertaining guests. Whether you\u2019re going away with family or friends, or even both, you\u2019ll want somewhere that\u2019s got enough room for everyone to be comfortable and welcome in the New Year together. Look for somewhere that\u2019s got enough bedrooms to accommodate everyone, and be sure to find a cottage that has ample living and dining space, along with a decent-sized kitchen if there are going to be a lot of you staying there. It\u2019s also a good idea to find a cottage with good amenities for entertaining, such as a games room, a party room and even a swimming pool or hot tub for a really fun time. New Year comes at one of the coldest times of the year, so it\u2019s worth bearing in mind that having things like open fires and wood burners will really come in handy should it get too cold outside.<\/p>\n<p>Find a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.countrycottagesonline.com\/large-houses-available-rent-new-year.php\">Big Holiday House Rental for New Year<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Cottages Somewhere New<\/h2>\n<p>Why not ring in the New Year somewhere you haven\u2019t been before? Staying in a holiday cottage over the New Year period in a place you\u2019re familiar with can of course be a very worthwhile experience, but so can staying somewhere that\u2019s completely new to you. After all, the New Year is meant to be about starting afresh and trying new things, so it\u2019s the perfect opportunity to visit somewhere you\u2019ve never been to before. Even if you\u2019re a seasoned traveller and have visited many parts of the UK, there are so many holiday cottages scattered throughout the country that you\u2019ll still be spoiled for choice. If you\u2019re used to celebrating the New Year in London and have never been to Edinburgh before, why not head north and welcome in the New Year somewhere new? Pick a holiday cottage on the outskirts of the city and you\u2019ll have the best of both worlds: convenient access to all the major festivities and lots of peace and quiet away from the buzz of the city centre.<\/p>\n<h2>Pick the Best New Years Cottage for you<\/h2>\n<p>Choosing the right holiday cottage for your New Year\u2019s break doesn\u2019t have to be hard. Sure, there\u2019s an overwhelming variety of them available, but so long as you bear in mind what you want most from your cottage getaway, you should have no problems finding one to suit your needs. Be sure to pick one that\u2019s right for you and whoever else is joining you to bring in the New Year &#8211; whether you stay in to celebrate or head out and join the crowds, you\u2019re bound to have a memorable experience waving goodbye to the current year and welcoming in the new one.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 101px; left: 231px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where will you be celebrating this New Year?
