Sometimes it really feels as though the holiday industry is wishing time away, but this time they could be onto something. One popular holiday homes rental company is urging people looking to book Christmas breaks in the UK to get cracking. 

“We are noticing a current surge in Christmas bookings for large properties”, says the company’s MD James Morris.

“Of our 102 cottages sleeping 10 or more, 64 per cent are already booked, leaving just 37 still available for Christmas.

“And, to take the stress out of Christmas for guests, many of our property owners are more than happy to provide a good selection of festive decorations, trees and crackers etc as well as pre-booking food hampers and catering.”

Cottages still for rent include Tennacott Lodge – a detached five-bedroom barn conversion sleeping up to 10 near Bideford in North Devon. The owners are happy to decorate the property and provide a food hamper (extra cost).
