Family and friends' Christmas reunions

Christmas; the time of year where everyone gets together for the king of roast dinners and a sing song round the piano (or collapsed on the sofa in a food coma). Why not enjoy a change of scenery and whisk the kids, grandparents and in-laws away on a winter getaway with a difference. There are plenty of places to have a family reunion in England, so whether it's renting a cottage by the sea where you can enjoy long walks along the coast to burn off that Christmas meal, or escaping to the countryside for a tranquil Christmas break away from the stresses of the city, you'll be stuck for choice.
