Fancy Spending Christmas or New Year at Candlelight Cottage? There is so much going on in the Peak District before Christmas. Many Christmas markets take place in local towns and specialist shops in Bakewell, Ashbourne and Buxton are ideal places to find unusual presents. Every year, Chatsworth House’s decorations sre spectacular and after your visit, you can get into the festive spirit by sipping mulled wine and listening to brass bands and carol singers. Why not go carol singing down one of Castleton’s caves, visit a pantomime, attend a carol concert or book a Santa Special on Peak Rail or Crich Tramway?. Christmas in Litton has a Christmas card charm of its own, especially under a dusting of snow. The village Christmas tree stands just opposite Candlelight Cottage and on Christmas Eve, everyone gathers around it to sing carols. Candlelight Cottage is decorated for Christmas from the beginning of December and short breaks are available until Christmas week. Often December guests come to celebrate Christmas early; others come away over Christmas itself to experience a special Peak District Christmas. What better feeling than returning to the wonderful warmth of the Candlelight Cottage AGA or curling up in front of the stove with a glass of mulled wine and warm mince pie? Come and experience the magic of a Peak District Christmas for yourself! And what about New Year's Eve? The Red Lion pub in Litton holds special New Year’s Eve dinners each year and there is of course lots more going on ... ... If you're thinking of coming for Christmas or New Year, please contact us.
