December is a magical time of the year, the days get shorter, the air gets crisper and the surrounding landscape becomes enchanting! Whether you are looking for somewhere special for a family to get together to make memories, a cosy retreat for two, somewhere dog friendly or a character cottage with a roaring log fire, we have a delightful selection of cottages where you can make special memories to treasure.

The stunning Purbeck countryside is a beautiful area to explore in December. The soft crunch of frost, flying red breasted robins in the sky and the peaceful grazing cows all add to the wonderful December atmosphere. With a fantastic selection of both coastal and countryside walks there is so much to see and do. The surrounding towns and villages always look very festive, with a beautiful array of Christmas trees and decorations. As well as wandering around pretty villages there is always a host of attractions open and offering exciting winter activities. The Purbeck are alive with the festive atmosphere, sparkling lights, and the Christmas anticipation! Relax and let that holiday feeling fill you with Christmas cheer! After a busy day exploring the local area guests can head back to their cottage for a well-deserved rest with their feet up by the log fire or to play a family board game!

Food is always very important when it comes to a holiday – trying local produce and indulging whilst in the holiday mood. But when it comes to December everyone likes to indulge even more so – obviously! The Purbeck have a fantastic number of independent cafes, country pubs and wonderful restaurants to visit.

Corfe & Purbeck Holidays have a wonderful selection of cosy cottages or larger properties perfect for your December retreat, Christmas holiday or New Year break. Whether you are looking for a cottage with character or a large property big enough to house the whole family, you will find the perfect property. By sending the Christmas season in a cosy cottage that feels like home, you can wake up in nestled in a countryside village, surrounded by the festive atmosphere and the people you love.

Our cottages are well equipped with everything you will need for your holiday. They will have a Christmas tree with decorations for that festive feel, unless you request otherwise, and a welcome gift for your arrival. See our properties and book your December break.
