A festive getaway for the whole family
Imagine footsteps crunching in the snow, crisp woodland air and proper catch ups in a cosy forest cabin... This is how Forest Holidays does Christmas getaways. With options for cabins that sleep up to 10 guests, you can get the whole family together for a full dose of festive forest cheer. Whichever of our 13 locations you choose for your short break, you’ll get to enjoy your very own hot tub holiday under the stars. Be the first to stay at Glentress Forest. For extra Christmas cosiness, why not pick a cabin with a cosy log burner? UK Christmas breaks don’t get much better than this.
