Helpful Holidays, the West Country cottage experts, have accommodation of all shapes and sizes available for Christmas, all with a warm welcome for pets and fireplaces where you can hang your stockings and dogs can stretch out.
Christmas in a country or coastal cottage is a wonderful occasion to bring the family together and create memories to cherish. A glowing log fire, a long dining table, a kitchen to cater for a crowd and a cosy sitting room for board game skirmishes and festive movies...
Here are just a few of Helpful Holidays' Christmas treats, available for the festive season, including some sparkly offers:
