Family values

Life in the Dales means embracing the seasons and for Hannah Gatecliffe, Christmas brings family fun as well as quieter moments to enjoy the wintry landscape

Bringing a dilapidated barn back to life using sympathetic materials proved a winning move for John and Cat Frankitti

Harriet Hastings restored a traditional Suffolk long house and built a new barn alongside it, providing space for all the family, especially at Christmas

The chance to restore a stable block near their old home has given Tish Potter and Jim Down the perfect place to enjoy big family festivities

Her grandmother converted these Victorian stables into a cosy cottage. Now, Sally Raikes has given the property an update, with colours and textiles that create a warm welcome

LOVINGLY RENOVATED BY CLAIRE AND SIMON, THIS YORKSHIRE STONE VILLAGE HOME IS THE PICTURE-PERFECT SETTING TO HOST CELEBRATIONS
