Cosiest Christmas homes to holiday in this winter for a change of scenery

Let’s be honest, we’re all getting a bit bored of staring at the same four walls, and
whilst Christmas is usually a time to spend at home, lots of us are dreaming about switching scenery this year.

Whether you’re seeking a cottage to call home for a weekend in the lead up to
Christmas (post lockdown, of course!) or a frosty city escape for 2021,
Love Home Swap has compiled a selection of enchanting properties
that are perfect for the festive season.

SPACIOUS COUNTRY COTTAGE,
WEST SUSSEX
Nestled at the foot of the South Downs and with
amazing uninterrupted views, this charming
cottage is spacious, bright and perfect for
families. Surrounded by beautiful scenery,
including the friendly neighbouring cows in the
adjacent field, immerse yourself in stunning views
from anywhere in the large garden. Along with
three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, this
home has a large well-equipped kitchen and
dining area, perfect for whipping up some winter
warmers. Relax into those winter evenings by
snuggling up next to the wood burning fire and
watch a Christmas classic, perhaps The Holiday,
on one of the many hidden TVs.

ROMANTIC COUNTRYSIDE HOME, SURREY
This traditionally built home was designed to make
the most of the beautiful woodland in which it is
set. Snuggle under a blanket with a hot chocolate to
watch the sun rise over the moat to the east, or watch
it set over the home’s stream and pond to the west.
It doesn’t get more romantic than that! Located in a
peaceful area, the home is surrounded by
protected countryside including a nature reserve.
Discover a wood burner in the sitting room, as well
as a darts board, table football, drum kit, piano and
hundreds of games to keep you entertained!

HISTORIC PERIOD HOME, EAST SUSSEX
This home is set in a one-acre garden with
striking views of the Sussex countryside. Full
of character, this home is ideal for history
buffs, as part of the house dates back to the
16th century – and the estate was originally
owned by a Norman knight! Whip up a storm
in the large kitchen, which has underfloor
heating, while the wood burner in the lounge
will keep you snug during frosty evenings. Curl
up in a quiet corner with a good book, and
make the most of the incredible views – as
the garden overlooks a wooded valley of oak
trees and the South Downs national park is
visible in the distance.

GORGEOUSLY RENOVATED 1900’S COTTAGE,
OXFORDSHIRE
Could this be the cottage from The Holiday? Not
quite, but the similarities are uncanny! Built in the
1900s, this property was completely renovated and
extended in 2017. Fancy a frosty festive walk? No
problem, as you will be welcomed home with cosy
underfloor heating. Then after all that exercise, you
can relax in the cosy sitting room and make the most
of the wood burning stove – perfect for a game or
two of charades. If you’re artistic, you’ll want to
explore the craft room downstairs. Or need a little
space? Then the garden room – which is fully
insulated and provides accommodation for two
people – is the perfect place to escape to.

ELEGANT VICTORIAN COUNTRY HOUSE,
BATH
Set in its own woodlands, this home is the
central portion of a Victorian country house
built in the 1850s. With three double
bedrooms and a further bedroom converted
into a cinema room with a comfy sofa bed,
you can get into the festive spirit with all of
your favourite Christmas movies on the big
screen. Moreover, the large sitting room has a
grand piano and open fire, so you can release
your inner musician. Singalong anyone?
