This Christmas, millions of television viewers will be tuning in to the Downton Abbey Christmas special. My mum is an avid fan and loves the stories of the aristocratic Crawley family, their servants and the dramas that unfold within the walls of their magnificent stately home. It's no surprise that many people dream of having the lifestyle of a Lord and Lady, with all the glamour, elegance and style that comes with the title. Although most of us are unlikely to ever live in our own country estate, we can escape to an English country manor house or cottage for a wonderful getaway and enjoy a taste of how the other half lives!
Cumbrian Cottages have compiled an infographic which showcases the top five spots for an English country break with an aristocratic edge, whether you are looking for an intimate romantic retreat or a big family gathering. The marvellous manor houses or quaint cottages are the perfect venues for living out your own Downton Abbey fantasies and escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
