To give you the best of the both worlds, here are some Getaway ideas to help you escape during Christmas and New Year’s.



·Mountain Getaways: The probability of a white Christmas is not being guaranteed by the Met Department this year. Ensure the traditional fervour by going out with your family to a mountain retreat. The lofty peaks of Cotswolds, Cornwall, Devon, Lake District, Scotland or Wales will make this holiday memorable. You are bound to return some time later, bewitched by these mountain peaks forever.

·Coastal Cottage Getaways - Want to spend a quiet weekend away from the crazy crowds?? Opt for a coastal cottage, which hopefully allows you to take your pet along as well. The rustic charm of the simple lifestyle will make sure that you rejuvenate and revive for the coming year. Wales (Pembrokeshire), Dorset and Norfolk are great places to rent these cottages this season.

·Skiing – Nothing beats a traditional skiing holiday as far as Christmas Season outings are concerned. For a short and within budget holiday, you might choose to go to Scotland this year. While not exactly in the same class as the Alps, the Cairngorm, Aviemore Skiing Lodge is best for weekends and provides ample skiing fun for novices.

·Camping – There are two kinds of campers. Ones who feel that they need all the modern comforts while enjoying this experience and ones who want to ‘go back to the basics’ so to say. No matter what kind you belong to, you will find ample delights within the limits of your pocket in a camping holiday near your home. Edinburgh, Mill Park, North Devon, England, Carrick Dhu - Northern Ireland, Isle of Mull – Scotland are some of the featured best camping destinations in UK.

.Surfing – For the adrenaline junkies, Surfing is the best way to let some hair down. Newquay, Cornwall, in particular has been the breeding ground for national and international surfing champions since several years. Accept the challenge and be ready to fill your ears with the roar of the waves for the year to come.
