Want to get away for Christmas or escape for New Year? From cosy cabins to a treehouse for two, here's six of the best Winter hideaways for a last-minute holiday from the people at Canopy & Stars.
Roulotte Retreat, Scottish Borders
Head North for a happy holidays at either the cottage & bowtop carriage (sleeps four), one of the five gypsy caravans (each sleeps two) or bring the extended family and stay in them all. Each has been decorated with an individual style and comes with radiator, stove and even a firepit for somewhere quirky to hang your stockings. There’s a new reception room with a wood burner, chandelier and deck outside complete with Christmas tree and as you’re on the Scottish borders there’s bound to be snow. From £122 per night for a caravan sleeping two with a three night minimum stay, find out more at <a href="http://www.canopyandstars.co.uk/britain/england/cumbria/wanderlusts/wanderlusts"target="_hplink">Canopy & Stars</a>
Sam, The Shepherd's Hut, Dorset
If you’re on the lookout for a cosy hideaway for two to toast in 2013 (or even celebrate Christmas as there’s still availability for both), you can’t do better than the Shepherd’s Hut at the Old Forge. Decked out in the Old Forge’s vintage stye, it’s rustic without roughing it with a couple of nods to modern comfort, like mains power and wood-burner for chilly nights. Awake on New Year ’s Day to an amazing breakfast, lovingly prepared by host Lucy, and views out across the frosty meadow and orchard. Your only visitor might be suave donkey 'Scrumpy Jack', that shares your private paddock. Two nights over Christmas or New Year costs £190 (sleeps two), find out more at <a href="http://www.canopyandstars.co.uk/britain/england/dorset/the-old-forge/sam-the-shepherd-s-hut"target="_hplink">Canopy & Stars</a>
The Lodge, Cumbria
Seeing the sunrise over your own private stretch of River Eamont from this splendid log cabin is a pretty special way to see in the New Year. A remote and magical place for a crowd free New Year bash. Cook up a storm in the well equipped kitchen (or hire a chef to do it for you), toast midnight on the veranda, warm up by the woodburner. There’s the land of the Eden Hall Estate or the frosty landscapes of the lakes for your obligatory New Year’s Day yomp. £840 for a four-night stay from 31 Dec – 4 Jan (sleeps four), find out more at <a href="http://www.canopyandstars.co.uk/britain/england/cumbria/eden-hall/the-lodge"target="_hplink">Canopy & Stars</a>
The Wheat Silo, nr Abergavenny, Monmouthshire
A New Year’s venue with a difference near the Brecon Beacons. The corrugated exterior hides a stylish apartment with retro touches. There’s a lovely big double bed for lie-ins, a comfy sofa, a natty little kitchen, books and a TV. For a New Year’s Day pub outing head to nearby Hay-on-Wye or Abergavenny, the Beacons are close for some outdoor action. £533 for a four-night stay from 31 Dec – 4 Jan (sleeps four), find out more at <a href="http://www.canopyandstars.co.uk/britain/wales/monmouthshire/cwmhir-court/the-wheat-silo"target="_hplink">Canopy & Stars</a>
Harptree Court, Bristol
Spend a romantic Christmas nestled up a laurel tree in this luxurious treehouse for two. Sing Christmas carols with only the robins for company, fill up on the complementary mulled wine and mince pies, open presents on the sumptuous double or in front of the woodburner, before a long soak in the copper bath bubbly in hand. £325 per night, minimum two nights (sleeps two), find out more at <a href="http://www.canopyandstars.co.uk/britain/england/bristol/harptree-court/the-treehouse-at-harptree-court"target="_hplink">Canopy & Stars</a>
Wanderlusts, Cumbria
You and up to 11 friends could take over a magical temporary Gypsy encampment in the wilds of Cumbria for your festive shenanigans. Each of the four caravans comes with snug beds, a toasty wood burning stove and a giant fire will blaze outside for the whole of your stay. Hitch a ride to the pub on horse drawn transport (host Barny will lay this on) or order a spit roast to enjoy under the covered banquet area whilst drinking in the amazing (hopefully snow covered) views. £250 per night, four-night minimum stay (sleeps up to 12), find out more at <a href="http://www.canopyandstars.co.uk/britain/england/cumbria/wanderlusts/wanderlusts"target="_hplink">Canopy & Stars</a>
