Country Cottages

For the utmost in charm and character, a stay in a country holiday cottage is the preferred choice for many on their UK family holiday. Offering a cosy place to stay with plenty of home comforts, country cottages provide an ideal base when visiting many of England's popular resorts and attractions, and can suit all types of traveller, from couples looking for a quiet tranquil spot, to families in search of a well-equipped home-away-from-home.

 

From the coastlines of Devon and Cornwall, to the wetlands of Norfolk and Suffolk and the timeless beauty of the Lake District, private holiday homes remain a popular option for many each year, with country cottages offering a sense of independence for their guests, and the chance for complete relaxation in a personal and intimate setting. Typically traditional and unspoilt, country cottages can offer that authentic rural escape in picturesque surroundings throughout the UK, with most boasting a quaint character and a quiet charm. Whether a cosy rustic farmhouse, or spacious grand manor, country cottages can offer the perfect setting for both peace and quiet, and quality time with the family, whilst featuring access to nearby towns, villages and famous attractions of the area. Country cottages can be highly-sought after, particularly during high season and throughout the school holidays, with early booking essential to secure a desired property. For those who can travel during the quieter low season, there are often bargain UK holidays and UK short breaks to be had staying in a country cottage, thanks to the huge range of homes available. Country cottages can be the same price as a hotel or bed-and-breakfast, and quite often a cheaper option, depending on size, as private properties can accommodate many guests depending on the number of bedrooms, and present a cost-effective way for groups to stay together.

 

Although country cottages are most often found in rural areas amongst spectacular scenery and classic landscapes, and allow guests to switch off and immerse themselves in the beauty of the countryside, these private homes are also located in many different areas throughout the British Isles. Situated by the seaside and close to the coast, as well as beside lakes, dales and moors, a country cottage holiday can usually offer access to the sights of the region, with holiday homes in Somerset, the Cotswolds, the Lake District and Northumberland remaining popular spots for a relaxing UK getaway.
