Christmas and New Year Staycation Ideas

Thinking of escaping for a while this December but don’t know where to go? We have you sorted! Here are some great holiday let properties with availability around the festive period.

Chapel Cottage Norfolk

This lovely picturesque cottage can comfortably sleep six guests & is just a few minutes from many of North Norfolk’s top attractions.  Warham is situated less than 3 miles to the glorious North Norfolk coast at Wells Next The Sea, 4 miles from Holkham and 5 miles from the stunning nature reserve at Blakeney.  This beautiful flint & brick three bedroom cottage, believed to date back to the 1800s, would make the ideal cosy staycation. The cottage still has some availability over New Years, but not much! So, if you fancy entering 2020 in this gorgeous property you’ll have to book soon! Visit Chapel Cottage Warham here.

Cockington Cottages, South Devon

An alternative ‘staycation’ property with availability over New Year is Cockington Cottages. Both Mallock Cottage and Magnolia House 1 have availability. Ideal for couples wanting to escape for a few nights, these generously sized cottages are situated in a beautiful village near the coast. They are even dog friendly, so no need to worry about your fluffy friends! Originally a Manorial estate, beautiful Cockington Village has a thatched pub & restaurant, old forge, water mill, tea rooms, shops and visitor centre. A short stroll or horse drawn carriage ride will take you to the manor house, Cockington Court, with its Norman church, working craft centre, gardens and tea room. There are acres of country walks to enjoy, ideal for your New Years Day stroll! Book a stay here.






The Old Forge, Yorkshire Wolds

With availability through both Christmas and New Year, this property would make the ideal December staycation property! Built around 1855, The Old Forge was once the workplace of Blacksmith Robert Belt, who worked the busy village Forge alongside four other blacksmiths and two apprentices. With natural stone floors, exposed beamed ceilings and high-quality furnishings, this is a character property with a spacious modern interior. You won’t need to worry about getting chilly in this property – as it has underfloor heating and a cosy wood burner! Book a stay here.
