The best holiday homes for winter vacations in the UK

We get it. When wintertime rolls around, the first instinct is to hop into your bed, cuddle with your furry friends and watch a good ol' classic as you sip on some hot chocolate. This winter holiday, we suggest you try something different. Have a change of scenery and visit some of the best destinations in the UK for the colder months. Plan an outing to the scenic towns of Wales, which are great bases for walking, cycling and relaxing in the great outdoors. Or, if you're up for a little more adventure this winter, take a trip down to the Zip World at Penrhyn state quarry and marvel at the breathtaking views. Don't worry — when you're done re-energizing and exploring, you can still include the cosy winter vibe and retreat to a warm, toasty bed at one of our lovely Belvilla holiday cottages nearby.

A warm winter beach day at Thurlestone

Who said beaches are off-limits during winter? Although, we do advise doing a quick weather check before heading down to the secluded and peaceful Thurlestone beach, situated just five miles from Kingsbridge alongside the coastline of South Devon. Enjoy the serenity and calm of the remote Thurlestone beach with shallow bathing waters perfect for children to splash around in. The exposed low tide contains rockpools teeming with marine life and is an exciting experience for beach explorers of all ages. Don't forget to pack a picnic and your sand buckets and shovels and enjoy simple seaside pleasures such as sunbathing, sandcastle building and picnicking! For water lovers and aquaphilics, Thurlestone beach is also the perfect spot for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and paddle boarding, and you can rent equipment from Surfin Sam Watersports at South Milton Sands. To ensure your experience is as smooth as possible, book your stay in a nearby Belvilla holiday home. Belvilla offers a variety of accommodations — more than 40,000 holiday homes all over Europe — in ideal locations and with attractive pricing. And you'll be sure to find a luxury dream villa according to your liking and budget near Thurlestone Beach.

Enjoy Burns Night in London

If you're unfamiliar with the raucous Scottish Burns Night UK celebration, you're in for a pleasant surprise. As enamoured as Shakespeare in England, the Scots have their very own bard, Robert Burns, who became a national icon and is celebrated each year on the 25th of January Burns Night suppers. The day is a perfect opportunity to entertain yourself with lots of food, partying and drinks. Here's how you can get out of those January winter blues and celebrate on a night out in London. Many restaurants and bars all over London hold festive Burn Nights events, fully equipped with haggis and tattie suppers and some fiery Scottish whiskey. Head out after the evening to one of the local bars nearby and enjoy poetry readings, toasts and traditional bagpipe music before partaking in the ceilidh dancing. And after your feet are sore from all the dancing, head home to your Belvilla abode nearby, change from your finest tartan outfit into comfortable pyjamas and nestle into a warm, comfy bed. Belvilla prides itself on providing customers with the most comfortable and luxurious stays. Browse through all our accommodations available in London.

Frequently Asked Questions on winter holidays in the UK

When should I visit the UK to experience a relaxing holiday?

As with any popular travel destination, summer months are bound to attract large summer crowds. If you'd like to opt for a more relaxed and secluded experience, visiting these places in spring or late autumn to early winter would be the most ideal. And some attractions, such as Burns Night, only take place at certain times of the year. Regardless, these places are lovely year-round, and you can plan your trip whenever it suits you best.

What should I pack on a trip to the UK?

If you plan to take your trip during winter, the important thing to pack is warm clothes, layers and thermals, woollen sweaters, and a water and windproof winter coat. Don't forget warm accessories such as gloves, scarves, and beanies. However, ensure each layer is easily removable, as it can get quite hot on sunny days, even during winter. And during the warmer months, you can opt for more easy breezy clothes. Remember always to carry an umbrella and a raincoat, as rain is quite common in the UK.

What type of holiday homes does Belvilla have?

Belvilla boasts a wide selection of holiday homes, differing in facilities, locations and even heritage. You can browse through the different categories and choose your stay according to your preference and budget.

  4.5/5

Ida cottage is a beautiful barn conversion. Everything is done with care and good taste. All three bedrooms have their own ensuite. The beds are great and were made up when we arrived, which is very inviting. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable. The surroundings of Ida cottage are beautiful, with a meadow to sit and play and a small river. And the train tunnel in front of the house gives it a bit of a gothic atmosphere, which we loved. The hosts are very friendly, everything was clean and there was a welcoming bottle of wine in the fridge. The cottage lies in a beautiful part or England, just inside of Dartmoor, with dramatic Moors and wild horses, which our daughter loved. Tavistock is only a couple of miles away with a historic indoor market and all the shops you need. There are good pubs nearby. We also went into Cornwall a couple of times and walked part of the coastal path which was very beautiful. We had a great time and definitely recommend strike here.

The cottage was lovely and the location was superb!! The dow point was that we didn’t receive any instructions for our arrival, when we were trying to contact the hosts the contact number given to us was for a number in the Netherlands!!! After 8 hours driving to get there and start our holidays that really let us down….
