Why book a holiday cottage?

Booking a holiday cottage lets you tailor your UK break to suit your needs. The variety of cottages is just one thing that makes booking a cottage a highly attractive option. In addition, you're sure to have the freedom to come and go as you please, cook what and when you like, and really get to know the area you've chosen for your UK holiday.

Shop in the local market, grab a hot drink in an independent coffee shop, call by the pub for a pint - by staying in a cottage in the UK, you can immerse yourself in a community - if only for a week or so. What's more, it's also an eco-friendly way to holiday, removing the need for a flight as many people like to drive for the added freedom that having your own car gives you.

A stay in a cottage promises you a home-from-home, somewhere likely to be full of personality and charm that you can settle into and make the most of, whether discovering somewhere new or returning to a much-loved destination.

Types of holiday cottage

Looking for a sizeable cottage for all the family? Perhaps you need one that's dog-friendly? Maybe you want a truly rural retreat or a place packed with amenities such as a hot tub or swimming pool?

From a quintessentially cute cottage complete with wisteria around the door to quirky conversions such as old chapels and churches, mills and barns, cottages on working farms, lodges, cabins and places that offer memorable experiences such as stylish shepherd's huts or yurts with warming log burners, there's a cottage for every party size, interest and budget.

Of course, you may find that the type of cottage you book depends on where you're looking such as in a national park, by the coast, along a river or deep within the countryside or woodland. The options are endless.
