If spending Christmas at home isn’t your cup of tea, why not book a holiday to spend quality time with your family during this festive period?
The Hillside Cottage — nestled in the breathtaking countryside of Wiltshire — offers guests an unforgettable Christmas experience away from busy cities. What’s better than enjoying your festive season in a gorgeous cottage with all the bells and whistles? This picturesque cottage boasts all the amenities you could think of to make your trip something you will remember for years. So, let’s explore everything the Hillside Cottage has to offer.
The Hillside Cottage
Many of us wish we could escape to the countryside for some much-needed peace and quiet — especially after a long year. The Hillside Cottage is one of the best places in southwest England to do just that! The magnificent cottage boasts six bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom — meaning 12 people can stay together in this luxurious accommodation. Set in a gorgeous garden surrounded by wildlife, the cottage has views of the countryside as far as the eye can see. Its interior has exquisite finishes, embodying a traditional style that ensures guests feel cosy and at home during their stay. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace — fantastic for cold winter nights, especially after a long day of exploring the surrounding area.
The dining area is open-plan, so guests can easily enjoy each other’s company during meals, and the cottage comes with a stylish eat-in kitchen with everything you could need to cook a fantastic Christmas dinner during your trip. Each of the bedrooms comes with a luxurious steam shower, perfect for getting you refreshed and ready to start your day each morning. Outside the cottage is a private patio that you can use to host BBQs if you feel brave during the winter months. If you don’t feel like cooking during your trip, you can request a chef to cater for the cottage and cook you some fantastic meals each night.
Small Barn
If you follow the path from the Hillside Cottage for a short distance, you will reach the small barn — a haven for relaxation — for your use only. Here, you will find a wet and dry sauna that you can use as much as you like, and you can even request various spa treatments if you feel like treating yourself to an early Christmas present. Outside the small barn is a plunge pool for brave souls who want to embrace cold water’s benefits for the body. Of course — after your polar plunge — you can immediately jump into the barn’s hot tub and relax in the warm bubbles while looking out into the frosty countryside.
Trailhead Cabin
If you follow the path a little further, you will come to the Trailhead Cabin, also reserved for those staying in the Hillside Cottage. Here, you can enjoy a fun space to chill out and use the dartboard for those looking for a little competition during your stay. There is also a small kitchen in the cabin, which you can use to stock drinks and snacks while enjoying the outdoor fire pit and wood-burning stove as the sun goes down. What sounds better than wrapping up warm, sitting around the fire and enjoying the company of those who are most important to you in your life this Christmas? If you have a furry friend who is part of your family, don’t worry; the Hillside Cottage is dog-friendly, meaning you can bring the whole family along for your getaway.
Prices & Availability
If you are looking to book the Hillside Cottage this Christmas, the price is around £877 per night, for which you will gain access to the cottage and the Trailhead Cabin, Small Barn and the private gardens surrounding the property. However, booking as soon as possible is essential as there is a high demand for this cosy, luxurious cottage. You can visit the website and see if there are spaces available for the dates that work for you.
Things To Do in the Area
The Hillside Cottage is located in Edington, a beautiful little village full of character, offering guests plenty of things to see and do. There are several beautiful walks in the surrounding area that you can enjoy during the crisp winter mornings. Head over to the Three Daggers Pub to experience some amazing cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients and try some of the drinks brewed locally at the Three Daggers Brewery. You can also book a tour of the brewery to learn about the brewing process and try out the different stouts and ales made here.
