Best Xmas Breaks UK

A cozy cabin at night with two people by a fire pit offers one of the coolest Xmas getaways in the UK. A decorated tree with lights twinkles in the foreground, creating a magical holiday atmosphere.

The festive season is fast approaching and sometimes it is nice just to get away from the madness for a few nights. Often, we get caught up in traditions and feel it is our duty to cook amazing foods, deep clean the house (paying extra attention to the places visitors won’t even notice) and organise plenty of social events just so you don’t feel like the Grinch. This year why not break tradition just this once! Take yourself away from the hustle and bustle and take a look at our inspiration for some of the best Xmas breaks in the UK.

A Treetop Hideaway to Escape the Crowds

An architect designed treehouse offering five-star luxury in the sky, who else can say they spent the Christmas holidays here? This tree top hideaway is the ultimate winter escape in the UK!

Step inside and the ship theme continues with a gangplank walkway, yacht deck floors and a luxury cargo net daybed and hammock.  Wake up and exchange gifts after dozing beneath the stars on the sky lit king sized bed.  The surrounding area is packed full of wonderful pubs and restaurants if you don’t fancy cooking up a feast this Christmas and for lovers of wine, why not try the Furleigh Estate Tours and find a tipple to enjoy over the festivities!
