Unleash the charm of winter in the UK's countryside! Imagine long hikes through snowy landscapes, cozying up by crackling fires in quaint cottages, and indulging in lazy lunches at charming pubs. But here's where it gets controversial: while some may prefer the bustling city lights, we're here to celebrate the quieter, more serene side of winter getaways. So, let's dive into the best spots for a winter rural break in the UK. Whether it's a cabin stay in the Lakes, a west country hotel with walks on the doorstep, an off-season seaside weekend, or a hiking holiday in Wales, we want to hear about your favorite winter escapes. Share your tips, and the best one, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, wins a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property. But remember, it's your words that will be judged, not just the photos. And for legal reasons, only UK residents can enter this competition. So, get ready to spark some debate and share your winter wonderland experiences! But here's the catch: the competition closes on Wednesday, November 12th at 10 am GMT. Don't miss out on the chance to be featured in the Guardian Travel section and website.
