Inspired by our love of festive film classics, Dog Friendly Cottages has a variety of chocolate-box and gingerbread-house cottages that will transport you to the cobbled streets and cosy homes of ‘TheHoliday’ and ‘Love Actually’ this festive season.

Rosehill Cottage is that you? It’s easy to be mistaken by Acorn Cottage, the spitting image of the beautiful Guildford home in the Christmas classic, ‘The Holiday’, with its matching gate and long cobbled pathway leading to the front door. The similarities don’t stop there, as Acorn Cottage, located in Bretforton in Worcestershire, comes with a cosy living area with wooden beams and an inglenook fireplace to transport you to Iris’ home, as she snuggles up with her dog for the evening.
