Anyone stayed in a cottage in Scotland over the Christmas
period?  (11 Posts) ReginaPhilangie Wed 10-Jul-13 12:36:12  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 hmm).
