2. Feel Like You’ve Stepped Into a Holiday Movie

Ever wished you could dive into one of those Christmas movies where the snow falls gently on adorable stone cottages, and everyone’s wearing scarves and sipping hot chocolate? Well, here’s your chance! The Cotswolds in winter can give movie-set levels of wow. Think frosty meadows, fairy lights strung across village squares, and cosy fireside pubs just waiting to welcome you in from the cold.
