No loud fireworks on your doorstep, no overflowing schedule, no pressure to host or attend parties. In a nature cottage, you set your own pace: cook together, soak in a hot bath, watch the stars or curl up by the fire with a good book.

For dog owners, a cottage in a quiet rural area is ideal. Many countryside regions in the UK experience far fewer fireworks, meaning your dog can stay calm and stress-free while you enjoy a gentle start to the new year.
