Cosy cottages for the Christmas holiday

Cosy cottages for two through to huge houses for families and groups of friends - there’s a choice of more than 250 properties on offer for Christmas from Coastal Cottages of Pembrokeshire.

For couples, one suggestion is Driftwood in Broadhaven, a delightful property set down a quiet lane and with views of St Brides Bay and the beach and ideal for winter walks along the Coastal Path.  A week’s rental from 23 December is £386.

At the other end of the scale, Sunrise is a beautifully renovated house (sleeps 10) with direct access onto Saundersfoot beach from the garden and with fabulous views from folding glass doors across the back of the property.  A week from 23 December costs £2514.

Rent Upton Glen to enjoy the perfect blend of Lakeland beauty with the festive fun of Keswick town. This traditional cottage has all the pubs, restaurants and shops of Keswick on the doorstep, yet is only ten minutes’ stroll from Derwentwater.

A Lakeland stone terrace, this ‘tardis’ like cottage sleeps six in three bedrooms, is brightly-furnished with cheerful red sofas to sink into after Christmas lunch, while the nearest pub is only 100 yards away!

Arrive 20 December at Upton Glen for a seven night stay costing £620 – or visit the website to view 900 other cottages in Cumbria.
