After the difficulties of the last few years, why not leave all the hard graft to somebody else and immerse yourself in an indulgent Christmas break to the iconic, four-star, Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst, in the heart of the New Forest? Family-owned.
To say that 2021 has been a challenging year is a spectacular understatement but, step by step, we are getting back to normality which means that this New Year's Eve we can really celebrate with friends and family.
New England in the US has something of a reputation when it comes to 'fall foliage' (as they call it) but you can enjoy spectacular autumn colours much closer to home in the New Forest in Hampshire.
