Looking to take a break over Christmas and rent a rural retreat or a country cottage? Find rural country cottages for a holiday this December over the Xmas period on Country Cottages Online.

Why Book a Rural Retreat Break this Christmas?

Hiding away in a cottage in the countryside or rural Britain could be an ideal choice over the festive period for those who want to escape for a relaxed laidback Xmas. Imagine waking up to a tranquil setting on a festive holiday. The countryside is beautiful whatever the season; in winter you can gaze upon winter wonderlands with frost setting over fields, and if you are lucky, snow covered landscapes.

Ask owners or agencies about good local walks and look out for properties with a log burner or open fire for that warm cosy feel on your December holiday. Other popular choices include festive cottages with country views, which can be a treat at any time of year. If it's important to you to rent a holiday home all decorated for Christmas, remember to ask about that prior to booking; lots of cottage owners decorate their holiday house with a Xmas tree, tinsel, twinkly festive lights and decorations but it's recommended that you check this prior to booking if this is important to you.

We hope that you find the perfect rural retreat or country cottage to rent for your Xmas break on Country Cottages Online.
