Why celebrate in a cottage for New Year's Eve?

A cottage turns New Year's Eve into a proper occasion: a fire going, a hot tub for midnight, a long table for dinner and a view worth waking up to on New Year's Day. Not to mention plenty of inspiring options for that classic New Year's Day walk. It's the comfort of home without the routine, and none of the compromises of a hotel like noisy corridors or restrictive dinner times. If you're coming as a group, larger properties sleep 10, 20 or more under one roof, which makes the whole thing considerably easier and usually better value than booking separate rooms. If you're travelling as a couple, you can prioritise luxury touches like a private hot tub, a crackling log fire or a sea view. And if you'd rather leave the cooking to someone else, you can book a private chef for the night.
