Have you considered Sussex for a Christmas and New Year break? You should. A wander through Ashdown Forest when the trees are frosty and the ground crunches underfoot is a magical experience. Especially with a warm and cosy luxury cottage to return to.

Warm your toes in front of the fire in a Christmas cottage, unwrap pressies and watch frost crystals climb up the windows. Mull cider on the Aga top and enjoy a Christmas holiday to remember on a self catering cottage break.

New Year is best celebrated in style and with a New Year cottage getaway you'll have no excuse but to have fun. Find the window with the best view to peer upon a local firework display and enjoy the comfort of your favourite holiday cottage.

Sussex has everything you could want for a few festive days away.
