Luxury cottages for New Year's
There’s something ever-so theatrical about yeartide celebrations; as in fairytales of old, everything changes when the clock strikes twelve. Everything but the resplendence of these luxury cottages for New Year's.
What are you doing New Year's Eve? In grand country homes and secluded sleeps-twos around the nation, hedonists are made merry on magnums of Champagne while sentimentalists gush over the passage of time. And little ones, once adamant to partake in the festivities, snatch forty winks in the arms of snoozing aunties, determined to be at the centre of it all come midnight. Meanwhile, peaceful celebrations are had in romantic cottages, where canape-scoffing dogs are none the wiser to resolutions, and couples share ‘bewitching hour’ kisses in the hot tub. This is New Year's Eve en-luxe.
Whether you have your heart set on a rambunctious party with a big group of friends and family, or a place to escape for midwinter woolgathering while the rest of the world is all abuzz, we have little and large luxury cottages for New Year’s that come complete with everything from heated indoor pools to cinema rooms. From slumberous gatherings spent counting down the moments ‘til bedtime to glittering affairs where doe-eyed grandparents waltz under crystal chandeliers, Hogmanay celebrations are as unique as the folk who make them. New year, same them - just the way it’s supposed to be.
