It’s the time of the year when all I want to do is drop everything and hide away in a cosy little place, preferably in the mountains, preferably with snow and skiing nearby, with a log fireplace and plenty of good books to keep me happy.

I do like that Finnish veranda. I’m assuming from the reflections it’s glassed in.
I like the first one best Marina, probably because it looks typically English, reminding me of Christmases long ago when we had snow.. Thank you
I’ll take any of those, please. But maybe the Norwegian one first?
I’d be happily tucked up in the first one as long as it had good heating !
I think I’m with Peter on this as the traditional look of the first cottage really appeals to me. It looks nice and cosy, especially nestling in all that snow!
They all look so welcoming and comforting, Marina Sofia! So warm and inviting. I think my choice would be that country cottage – the first one. It’s just begging me to come in and warm up. They’re all lovely, though.
We’ll be borrowing a friend’s chalet in France over New Year’s. I’ll send you a photo!
The simplicity of the Norwegian example appeals, but the setting and solidity of the last Romanian one evokes some kind of atavistic nostalgia in me…
Oh gorgeous – that last one is particularly appealing!!
All lovely!
The Romanian b&b has the most authentic look to it, makes me nostalgic for by-gone childhood winter holidays!
It does look rather similar to my grandmother’s house…
Finland for me!
