Holiday cottages to rent for Christmas in the UK

Large families often rent a large cottage for the Christmas period so that they can all meet up and share Christmas Day together in the same house. Modern houses and apartments are too small to allow large groups to eat Christmas dinner together so the only real solution is to rent a large spacious holiday cottage with a dining table large enough to seat the entire family.

There are some fabulous big cottages available for the festive period. Families merely have to arrive, armed with presents to share, and enjoy a holiday on a house ready decorated and prepared. Some large properies have  a piano for a few carols around the tree, a games room where the children can amuse themselves whilst their parents relax in the sitting room.

Very large self-catering cottages and mansions are able to set up extra tables to ensure a seat for everyone. The decorations that are supplied may not be entirely to your taste but it does relieve everyone of the effort of making a house attractive for Christmas. Encourage all guests to contribute nibbles and snacks in their own Christmas dishes to bring that additional festive touch. You will be expected to provide your own crackers and because this is a self-catering holiday, all food and drink. Part of the fun of getting the family together is sharing in the experience. Put the skills of family members to best use; let those with cooking experience prepare the lunch, others to amuse the kids or so some shopping. Ready prepared foods in supermakets make cooking Christmas dinner relatively easy; buy foods  all peeled, chopped and seasoned ready to pop in the oven. All those foil containers van be discarded afterwards, saving on the washing up. Your'e on holiday, celebration Christmas with your family - make it all as simple as possible.

What everyone wants over Christmas is a good time, good food and pleasant company. Do think about getting the family together under one roof over Christmas and keep those family ties strong.
