We all know Christmas is a time for relaxing with family but getting everyone together under one roof can sometimes be a squeeze! Booking a Christmas break for all the family in one of West Country specialist Toad Hall Cottages' www.toadhallcottages.co.uk larger properties can take the pressure off, and with a wonderful winter atmosphere, pretty villages, stunning walks and cosy pubs, the South West is a perfect Christmas destination.
Upper Court Barn in Blackawton, Devon (Sleeps 8 , £1791 for a week this Christmas) is a great choice for family get-togethers. The property offers luxurious, contemporary accommodation as well as a large kitchen, wonderfully equipped for Christmas with 2 ovens, 3 fridges and 2 freezers so plenty of room for the turkey and all the trimmings! There is also a dining area seating 8 and a luxurious open plan living room with cosy woodburner. Accessed via a maze of tiny lanes, surrounded by beautiful countryside and just two miles from the coast you can really get away from it all for Christmas here.
Another option available for Christmas is The Old Threshing Barn, Duloe, South Cornwall (Sleeps 6 £960 for a week over Christmas) which has been converted into a spacious holiday home whilst retaining many striking features including part of the old threshing mechanism. The kitchen is very well equipped with a large dining area, perfect for a good family Christmas dinner, while the sitting room offers a great place to retreat afterwards. The Eden Project is just a 40 minute drive from the cottage where you can meet Father Christmas and his real reindeer, go ice skating, explore the Christmas rainforest, or listen to live Christmas story telling.
Dove House near Newton Ferrers, South Devon (Sleeps 18 £3634 for a week over Christmas) is a magnificent Victorian home, large enough for several families or a group of friends to spend Christmas together. There are 7 bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, a library and 5 acres of manicured lawns and private woodland so lots of room for everyone. The large kitchen has featured in several TV cooking shows and has everything needed to prepare the perfect Christmas meal. Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo offer lots of great pubs and restaurants looking out on the creek which divides the twin villages, and there are some lovely walks on the South West Coastal Path.
