The competition is being run by , and has been inspired by the two homes featured in the film which are swapped by Kate Winslet's and Cameron Diaz' characters.

Thankfully you won't have to swap houses to stay for free at the homes.

The cottage in England is located in Cheshire, and features a log burner, large copper bath and views of the surrounding woods.

The one-bedroom barn has a large double bed in the converted attic, and is nearby to a number of cafes and gastropubs.

While the weather might not be great, there is also an outdoor firepit to sit by late into the evening.

We explain how house swapping works from how much is costs to the risks to your home.

Last year, a cottage website offered a free stay at a quaint countryside home inspired by The Holiday - as long as you'd just been dumped.

Sadly Kate Winslet's house in the film The Holiday doesn't exist, although the LA mansion owned by Cameron Diaz is a real life house in San Marino.
