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.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
