You might think we're crackers to be talking about Christmas in early October, but after the year we've all had, we can't wait for some Christmas cheer.

From big country houses with roaring fires to cosy cottages right by the beach, we've got Christmas wrapped up with hundreds of self-catering properties to choose from.
