We were thinking of doing it this year. We haven't had a holiday in about 4 years, and actually it would be quite nice to get away from my family the stress of Christmas. We're on a tight budget and maximum we could spend is around £500 - £600. I found this place on cottages4u.
There would be me, DH, 2 dds (10 and 6 - well 7 then), and DSD and her boyfriend. I thought staying going around the 23rd December for 4 or 5 nights. But, I'm a little worried about staying in a gorgeous cottage in the middle of nowhere (I actually have no idea if that cottage is in fact in the middle of nowhere) and well, getting bored. It's not like staying in a caravan in the summer where there's loads of entertainment on and days out. Most places will be shut down for Christmas, and it'll be freezing. (Although going on the past few Christmases you never can tell if you'll end up with a heatwave in December ).
So, has anyone else gone to stay in a little cottage with just immediate family over Christmas? Were you bored? Were the kids bored which would be even worse. Is it a bad idea?
