How to stay in a quintessentially English Christmas cottage just like The Holiday

We've all watched The Holiday and imagined ourselves as the characters in the movie, fully embracing those feel-good Christmas vibes.

In the film, Cameron Diaz's character gets to stay in a gorgeous cottage in Surrey as she swaps homes with Kate Winslet who plays Iris.

It's a chocolate box home at the bottom of a snowy hill that comes complete with a cosy fire and a snug sitting room.

The cottage is also next to a pretty town called Shere that Cameron's character Amanda drives to in the film. It features plenty of small pubs and even a village shop.

But, don't fret, if you fancy living out your own Holiday fantasy, we've got you covered.

There's a stunning hideaway in Branscombe, Devon, called Rosechurch Cottage which is available to stay in before and after the festive season.

If you fancy a Christmassy break there, expect a home constructed of stone with a thatched roof and traditional features such as a brick fireplace and ceiling beams.

There's also a cosy living room with a wood burner and sofa perfect for enjoying a good book and a glass of wine or snuggling up in your pyjamas with a hot chocolate.

It sleeps up to five people and has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with one of the bathrooms featuring a chic free-standing bath in which to relax.

There are also two spaces for hosting and spending time with family and friends – a dining area and separate kitchen so you can rustle up some delicious dinners or hearty breakfasts.

You can also sit in the courtyard or take the stairs at the back of the house to the garden, which has flowerbeds and vegetable planters – a great space to enjoy even in winter.
