Unwrap the festive charm with a UK retreat at Greenwood Grange

This Christmas, escape to the idyllic charm of the Dorset countryside and stay in one of our historic stone-built cottages. Whether a romantic retreat for two or a spacious cottage for the extended family, we have holiday lets of various sizes to cater to all requests. From rustic features to luxurious amenities, our site is the perfect location to create memories and start new festive traditions.

Winter walks

Wrap up warm, embrace the crisp winter air and blast the cobwebs away along the coast, where the beautiful scenery provides the perfect backdrop for a festive walk. Alternatively, head straight over the road from Greenwood Grange into the Thorncombe Wood Local Nature Reserve for a moody woodland meander. Don’t forget your hats and gloves!

Local festivities

Immerse yourself in the local Christmas festivities with an array of activities, markets and destinations to visit.

• Head to Abbotsbury Sub-Tropical Gardens for the light show, Illuminate. An outdoor winter wonderland, stroll through the 18th century gardens and experience incredible colours and light shows as they dance against rare plants and trees.

• Until 1st January 2024, the Bournemouth Christmas Tree Wonderland is an opportunity to see enchanting light displays and hundreds of glittering trees that light up the night sky from the Market to the seafront.

• A real crowd-pleaser, visit the Alpine Christmas Market for tasty treats, live music and entertainment. Get your skates on at Bournemouth’s outdoor ice rink, shop for last-minute stocking fillers and enjoy the Christmas cheer with the live Christmas choir and carol singer performance.

Stay in and relax

The characterful cottages come with a variety of different features to help you feel right at home and in the Christmas spirit. The heart of every cosy bolthole is undoubtedly the fireplace. Gather around with loved ones to open presents, enjoy warm mugs of hot chocolate and of course, top it off with your favourite festive film.

Brave the cool night air for a glance at the stars in one of our luxurious hot tubs. Adding a touch of indulgence to the holiday, soak in the warmth with a glass of fizz after a day of fun-filled activities.

From one-bedroom to four-bedrooms, each of our cottages comes with ample kitchen and dining space to ensure you can cook and entertain friends and family with ease. Prepare a Christmas feast fit for royalty, challenge each other to your favourite board games or dance the night away – it's really up to you.
