Did all those Christmas cards remind you that another year has gone by and something must be done to see more of your friends and family?
Renting a large cottage for groups in Winter is a fantastic way to do this…and it doesn’t have to break the bank. In fact, January and February is an ideal time; our weekends aren’t yet booked up and those lovely large houses with play rooms, snooker tables and even hot tubs are a fraction of what they would be in the summer.
Most properties offer 3-night short breaks in Winter and some are flexible enough to offer 2 nights.
So why not contact a few old friends and arrange a weekend. Here are some of the properties you could be visiting:
Devon Farmhouse, 5 Bedrooms, Sleeps 12
Stunning converted farmhouse with 5 bedrooms (sleeps 12) in Devon’s River Country. Described as ‘gorgeous, practical and very 21st century’, the house comes with a children’s den with games/TV/DVD as well as an open-fronted barn with table tennis and darts. Good availability in Jan - Mar: a 2 night stay on 29-31 Jan 2010 is £302, from Helpful Holidays, ref J22.
Victorian House in Devon, 6 Bedrooms, Sleeps 12
Spacious, recently refurbished Victorian house with 6 bedrooms (sleeps 12) in Devon. It has a large garden with trampoline and play equipment for the children, as well as a games room/snug. Offer weekend prices from £893 (22 Jan 2010), from Sleeps12.com, Culmbridge House.
Restored Coaching Inn, Derbyshire. 5 Bedrooms, Sleeps 15
