You could stay in a beautiful Cotswolds cottage inspired by The Holiday for free – but only if you’ve just been dumped – The Sun

NEWLY single Brits can stay in a beautiful cottage in the Cotswolds inspired by the film The Holiday this season.

The three-night stay is absolutely free – as long as you have just been dumped.

The free holiday is being offered by Independent Cottages who own a range of quaint homes around the UK.

Included in the stay is three nights for one person at Farthing Cottage in the Cotswolds – although a guest can be brought to share the double room with.

Inside, similar to the cottage in the 2006 film The Holiday, is a wood-burning fireplace and exposed wood ceiling beams.

Upstairs is a four-poster bed, with a bottle of Prosecco and a box of chocolates waiting for you.



Farthing Cottage is also just a short walk from Stow-on-the-Wold, which has shops including a supermarket and farmers market.

The cottage owners will even decorate it ready for Christmas.

The idea behind the free stay is inspired by the break-ups in the films, which sees Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz's characters swap homes.

Cameron Diaz's character, Amanda, then stays in the beautiful Rosehill Cottage.

The cottage in the film was filmed in Surrey – although the house itself doesn't exist as it was built as a set by the crew.




You can visit the town of Shere, however, in Surrey, which is where the shopping scenes were filmed.

To win the stay for yourself, all you have to do is share your heartbreak story from this year with Independent Cottages.

The stay is advised from December 13 to December 16, but this can be changed at the discretion of the cottage.

While you can't stay in the real Rosehill Cottage, it was inspired by a real cottage called Honeysuckle Cottage – which went on the market for £650,000 last year.

We've rounded up some of the other Christmas films with iconic filming locations you can visit including Love Actually and Home Alone.
