December is the Month of the Big C… Coorie!
As the Festive Season rolls in, there’s one “C” that genuinely defines December—Coorie. While Christmas might grab the headlines, Coorie offers a more serene, deeply Scottish way to embrace the colder months. At Lazyday Cottages, nestled in the heart of Berwickshire, we’ve created the ultimate setting for you to indulge in this comforting tradition. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, a connection with nature, or quality time with loved ones, our luxury lodges provide the perfect base to Coorie this December.
Coorie (pronounced ‘koo-ree’) is a quintessentially Scottish concept that combines the cosy warmth of Hygge (a Scandinavian concept) with a unique connection to Scotland’s natural landscapes and traditions. Stemming from the Scots word meaning “to cuddle” or “nestle,” Coorie is about creating a sense of comfort and sanctuary. However, it goes beyond physical warmth. Coorie invites you to slow down, embrace simplicity, and celebrate life’s little joys—whether that’s a steaming mug of hot chocolate when you cosy on the sofa, a crisp walk in the countryside, or a quiet moment under a blanket of stars.
Unlike trends that focus purely on indoor cosiness, Coorie places equal importance on Scotland’s great outdoors. It’s about finding balance—exploring our beautiful landscapes, then retreating to a snug haven to rest and recharge. Coorie also taps into Scotland’s rich heritage, celebrating traditions, self-sufficiency, and a deep respect for the natural world.
December, with its colder mornings, long nights, and festive spirit, is the perfect time to embrace Coorie. It’s a month that naturally invites us to pause, reflect, and gather with loved ones. The chilly weather provides the perfect excuse to wrap up warm and create your own cosy haven indoors. At Lazyday Cottages, we’ve taken all the hard work out of creating a Coorie-worthy retreat to help you relax and enjoy the beauty of the season.
Whether you’re new to Coorie or a seasoned expert, Lazyday Cottages provide everything you need to fully embrace this delightful lifestyle. Imagine yourself nestled in a soft blanket, a book in hand, and nothing but the sound of the wind rustling outside. With luxurious furnishings, fluffy robes, and peaceful surroundings, every corner of your lodge is a space to relax.
One of the core principles of Coorie is appreciating the outdoors, and Lazyday Cottages are surrounded by some of Scotland’s most stunning landscapes. Take a morning stroll through the frosty countryside, or venture further afield to the Berwickshire coastline, where dramatic cliffs and secluded beaches await. After your walk, return to the warmth of your lodge for a well-earned rest.
Coorie also embraces the joy of food—specifically hearty, home-cooked meals shared with loved ones. Each lodge features a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for whipping up your favourite dishes. Why not experiment with Scottish classics like Cullen Skink, Scotch broth, or buttery shortbread? For an extra touch of indulgence, enjoy your meal out on the veranda, wrapped in a cosy blanket. And nothing says relaxation like soaking in a private hot tub under a clear winter sky. Each of our lodges features its own outdoor hot tub, offering the perfect way to unwind and let the world melt away. Surrounded by nature, this is Coorie at its most luxurious.
The beauty of Coorie is its universal appeal. Couples seeking a romantic escape will love the privacy and tranquillity of Lazyday Cottages. Families can enjoy quality time together, making the most of the Festive Season without distractions. Solo adventurers will find a sanctuary where they can truly unwind, reconnecting with nature and themselves. Coorie offers something for everyone.
