Why a Family Christmas in a Cottage is So Popular

Christmas is a special time of year when families actually have the time to spend it together. The growing popularity of families getting away from the day to day and booking a Lake District cottage for the Christmas period has been growing in popularity over the years and it is not hard to understand why.

Christmas in a Lake District Cottage

The Lake District is a breath of fresh air at a busy time of year, and even though the weather can be chilly, roaring fires and tempting mugs of hot cocoa await those who brave a small fell at Christmas time.
