This holiday season marks 15 years since our favourite British rom-com hit the big screen. The Christmas classic is a favourite in many Aussie homes and as we head towards Christmas, it will no doubt light up many screens as we settle in for the festive season.
If you’re dreaming of swapping the sweltering heat for a white Christmas, planning that romantic kiss under the mistletoe, or looking forward to unwrapping the perfect gift from under the tree with your loved ones, there is a home on Airbnb for everyone to share in the magic of the silly season.
To celebrate, Airbnb has rounded up a selection of beautiful English homes and Experiences inspired by the characters of the Christmas classic. From cute little cabins, warm and cosy cottages, to stunning apartments, these homes are perfect for your next UK getaway.
And if you look for it, we’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.
This cosy cottage is the perfect writers retreat, with its stunning rolling countryside and lakeside views that will get both the creative juices and romance flowing.
