With crackling fireplaces, comfy furnishings, flat screen TVs, and a host of family-friendly entertainment, the following five cottages are especially well-suited to get everyone into the festive spirit. Just to get you started, we bring you five Sussex holiday cottages for Christmas breaks.
Coastguard’s Lookout
The perfect retreat for a snug winter getaway! The historic Coastguard’s Lookout (dating back to 1875) combines traditional features with modern comforts to make you feel right at home, and the beach is just a few minutes’ walk away.
Chat over morning pastries and coffee in the open kitchen/dining room. Then head out for a coastal stroll, explore the misty Romney Marsh, or pick up ingredients for dinner in nearby Rye. Local pubs with roaring fires and cracking ales might just tempt you to stay out late.
Relax back at the cottage in your snug lounge. Host a movie night on the flat screen TV, play games on the Xbox, or read a Christmas novel beside the log-burning fireplace.
The cottage also has a dining table and benches in a south-facing garden – the ideal spot to tell ghost stories over hot chocolates.
Retire to the spacious master bedroom, furnished with a king bed, and expansive views over the marsh. Above, an attic room lets you soak in the bathtub while gazing at the stars.
Little ones will love camping out and dreaming of Santa in the second bedroom, complete with sea views, a flat screen TV, and two zip and link 3-foot beds. Push the beds together to make this a cozy couples’ retreat!
Coastguard’s Beach House
Dating back to 1875, Coastguard’s Beach House is one of our period Sussex holiday cottages and it has been lovingly transformed into a beautiful holiday cottage.
The beach is a just stone’s throw from your door, so you can start your day with a walk beside the waves. After a bracing day in the sea air, whip up a festive-themed meal in the cottage’s newly equipped kitchen. While dinner simmers, snack on roasted chestnuts or your favourite box of chocolates.
The south-facing fully enclosed garden offers a private spot to chat after your meal.
Evenings are best enjoyed with mulled wine and a spot beside the crackling log burner. Read a good book, or write your Christmas shopping list before a day among the boutiques of nearby Rye.
Curl up at night in the comfy master bedroom, offering a double bed and sea views. Or make yourself at home in a guest bedroom with a single fold-away bed and views across the marsh.
Beach Boutique
Spotlessly appointed and full of modern comforts, Beach Boutique is the kind of Sussex holiday cottage you could happily hunker down in for an entire holiday. But if you feel like a breath of fresh coastal air, it’s just a 5-minute walk to the windswept shore of Camber Sands.
If you choose to stay at home, enjoy socialising in an open living area with a plush sofa and snuggle seat. Spend the morning baking gingerbread men in the contemporary kitchen. Then sprawl back for a Christmas movie – the cottage has two HDTVs with Sky’s Now TV service, Sky Sports, and Sky movies.
A four-person white dining table awaits to share sit-down meals.
In the evenings, play family board games, fire up the PlayStation 4, or take in the sea air in the charming enclosed garden Then uncork a bottle of wine and curl up beside the gorgeous electric fireplace. With high-speed Wi-Fi, it’s easy to browse the net for last-minute Christmas shopping.
Ready to snooze? The inviting master bedroom boasts a king bed, and a 32” smart TV with Sky TV. In the second bedroom, two comfy single beds are decked out in coastal blues and whites.
