Rent a self-catering holiday cottage and spend Christmas in the Yorkshire Dales.
Christmas means different things to different people.There are those who want to gather their family around them and spend the festive season together catching up with events in the previous year. Pooled resources mean that a better Christmas can be enjoyed by all, the shopping and cooking can be shared, and the house or cottage is usually decorated for you before arrival saving all that effort.
Others like to escape all the fuss and expense that Christmas brings.
Both camps have the opportunity of a complete get-away from the routines of daily life, walks in the fresh air of the Dales, with perhaps the chance of a white Christmas. Even if you perefer not to cook dinner, there are plenty of Yorkshire eateries serving Christmas lunch.
