My extended family and I are looking for a nice country house/cottage to stay in over the Christmas holidays. Does anyone have any recommendations for places they've stayed in the past? We're looking for something with three double bedrooms and nice walks in the surrounding area.


Thanks!

They often do special offers for country hotels on groupon if those would do, never seen any cottages myself but they might pop up sooner to Christmas.


I once stayed in New park manor in New Forest for a wedding and it was in breathtaking surroundings! Sounds a lovely Christmas plan :)

Lake Country House Hotel is fantastic - not anywhere near cheap but every element is high quality. When we last stayed there was even a dog or two that would accompany guests on walks.


It's in Wales with plenty of good walking - also horse riding and golf nearby. Tho' it's very easy just to chill out in the hotel - we did look at spending a family Christmas there one year - but total cost a tad prohibitive, but the experience woukd be fantastic, as in literally a fantasy world of "olde English / Downton Abbey" style of living. The afternoon tea is just heavenly.

New Park Manor is lovely, I spent a night there on my honeymoon! Fantastic food as well.


We once stayed with loads of friends at the Manor Farmhouse, Snowshill, Gloucester which is a National Trust self catering cottage, and we all swore that one day we would do Christmas there because it was an absolutely perfect storybook setting. The local pub across the road had a fabulous publican (right term?) who would stay on after closing and drink and chat with us. A mile away is Broadway, which has lots of typical Cotswold dining options, but the dining room would be sufficiently large for a proper Christmas dinner in (that would be my choice). And as it's name suggests, it gets all lovely and snowy in the winter. Oh my now I'm jealous!


The cottage itself has loads of room and at least four double and one single bedroom I think.

    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967  
    • For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500.  (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted.  Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me.  Usually get a decent reduction.  Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal.  Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.
