Best UK Christmas breaks

Christmas eco chic, Cornwall

Leave Christmas tweeness behind for an eco-break for luxury lovers. The new Scarlet Hotel in Cornwall is the UK's most stylish eco-hotel, with as many design credentials as environmental ones. Grey-water harvesting, biomass heating, natural saltwater pool and more make this place a hit with style-conscious greenies. But forget trad Christmas chintz over the holidays. Instead, expect Michelin-quality modern cooking with a seasonal spin, log-fired outdoor hot-tub pods overlooking the sea and Ibiza-esque chill-out areas. Four-night Christmas break from £730pp, half board.
