Large Holiday Cottage For Christmas In Somerset

Christmas is such a magical time, for being with the people you love most in the whole wide world. When you stay at this large holiday cottage for Christmas in Somerset, you just know it’s going to be so perfect. Hurstone has a wonderful homely feel anytime of year, but you should see it when it’s decorated for the festive season! A huge tree is brought in from nearby woods and hung with lights and baubles, greenery collected from the hedgerows is used to make the lushest swags and draped all around, just like something from the pages of a country homes magazine.

Raise a toast on Christmas Eve, put presents under the tree, then gather round the piano to sing carols in your festive jumpers and Santa hats. Get into the spirit of things with ghost stories told by the fire, pass around the Quality Street and a big bowl of nuts. When you wake up on Christmas morning put on Christmas music as you open your gifts, the enticing aroma of a big fat turkey roasting in the oven. Take your seats for a scrumptious festive feast, then retire to the drawing room for games and the King’s Speech.

Go for a Boxing Day stroll around the lanes, wander down the hill to The Rock Inn or amble around the local nature reserve. If it’s not too chilly, slip into the warmth of the hot tub in the courtyard, have a game of snooker in the games room before the food comes out for a Boxing Day spread. Hurstone is such a special place to be at Christmas time and it’s so peaceful here, just robins singing their little song in the garden, and views across the valley to the distant hills of Exmoor. It’s a place for making memories, book today!
