When looking to book a cottage holiday you are very often faced with the decision as to whether to book via an agency or whether to book with cottage owners direct.
Ssome people prefer to book direct with cottage owners where they can negotiate on price and deal direct with any queries or requirements they may have. Bear in mind that the New Year period is traditionally one of high demand, especially for larger properties. Some may be booked almost a year in advance. There are always the inevitable last minute cancellations because someone else has not been able to take up their holiday due to unforseen circumstances. One person's loss is another's gain - last minute bookings are discounted.
Rent a large spacious house for a New Year break with friends and let the champagne flow. Perhaps join with friends and rent a self catering house for 10 in Poland.
Book a cottage for the two of you and watch New Year begin from a hill-top somewhere beautiful.
Rent a self-catering house or chalet for 10-12 people in Europe or further afield. Go abroad this New Year and enjoy the experience of discovering somewhere different and completely new.
New Year’s Eve is supposed to be one of the most memorable nights of the year, so why does is often feel like a let-down? Like all major events there’s one crucial factor and that is planning. Firstly, you need a great location. Hotels can get rather crowded this time of year and who wants to listen to someone else’s party? Why not arrange something more personal for your selected guests and book a New Year’s Eve country cottage.
There are so many New Year’s Eve celebrations in the UK. London boasts a fabulous firework display over the Thames; Edinburgh’s brooding Castlerock is the backdrop to its Hogmanay extravaganza. Every major UK city will have some kind of celebration, often featuring live music. It is worth checking out where your favourite stars are performing this year and booking a country cottage nearby.
