Luxury cottages for New Year's in Devon

What are you doing on New Year's Eve? In grand country homes and secluded sleeps-twos around the nation, hedonists are made merry on magnums of Champagne while sentimentalists gush over the passage of time. And little ones, once adamant to partake in the festivities, snatch forty winks in the arms of snoozing aunties, determined to be at the centre of it all come midnight. Meanwhile, peaceful celebrations are had in romantic, riverside cottages, where canape-scoffing dogs are none the wiser to fiendish resolutions, and couples share ‘bewitching hour’ kisses in the wood-fired hot tub with the stars for company. This is New Year's Eve en-luxe.

Whether you have your heart set on a rambunctious party with friends and family in the Dartmoor wilderness, or a place to escape for midwinter woolgathering over Ilfracombe’s rugged coast while the rest of the world is all abuzz, we have little and large luxury cottages for New Year’s in Devon that come complete with everything from private beaches to cinema rooms. From slumberous gatherings spent counting down the moments ‘til bedtime to glittering affairs where doe-eyed grandparents waltz under crystal chandeliers, Hogmanay celebrations are as unique as the folk who make them. New year, same them - just the way it’s supposed to be.
