Cotswolds or North Yorkshire, the little villages there are beautiful. Google The star Inn in Hareome or harome (not sure of spelling) it's an amazing hotel

The National Trust rent out properties all over the UK and they have really interesting properties, like old light houses, cottages etc. Look on their website and you will get lots of ideas for places to go and things to see.

For a better chance of a white christmas, try somewhere in northern Scotland.
