As the festive season approaches, many of us dream of a magical escape filled with crisp winter air, scenic landscapes, and the warm glow of a fireside retreat. If you’re still searching for the perfect Christmas or New Year getaway, look no further than the enchanting Cotswold Water Park. Nestled in the heart of Gloucestershire, this serene haven offers an idyllic setting to celebrate the holidays, and there’s still time to book your perfect holiday break.
Why Choose Cotswold Water Park for the Festive Season?
The Cotswold Water Park is a sprawling network of over 150 lakes set across 40 square miles of natural beauty. During the winter, it transforms into a tranquil wonderland, with frosted landscapes and peaceful waters creating a postcard-perfect setting. Here’s why it’s the ultimate destination for your Christmas and New Year celebrations:
- Cosy Accommodation:
From lakeside lodges with hot tubs to villas, the Water Park offers a wide variety of holiday lets. Many properties come adorned with festive decorations, crackling fireplaces, and spacious dining areas for a family feast.
- Outdoor Adventures:
Whether you fancy a brisk winter walk, illuminated light trail, ice skating, Christmas on the farm, or visiting the Cotswold reindeer herd, the Water Park and surrounding areas have plenty to offer. For the early risers, frosty mornings bring a unique and special charm to the lakes, along with the chance to spot some of the local seasonal wildlife.
- Festive Activities Nearby:
Local villages such as Cirencester and Fairford come alive with Christmas markets, twinkling lights, and carol concerts. For New Year’s Eve, nearby pubs and restaurants often host special events, or you can ring in 2025 from the comfort of your private holiday rental with family and friends.
- Wellness and Relaxation:
The Cotswold Water Park is home to several spas, perfect for unwinding after the holiday rush; treat yourself to a massage or sauna session and start the New Year feeling rejuvenated.
