Holiday Cottage Rentals

Where ever you’re planning to go on your break this year, there are hundreds of options available to you when choosing your accommodation; HolidayCottage.com gives you the very best way to compare hundreds of self-catering retreats across the whole of the British Isles. There’s a wide range of cottages available and from the comfort of your own home, you can book your holiday this year in a charming town house in Dorchester or a Log Cabin nestled away in the Scottish Mountains. Pick from a relaxing weekend break to an exciting summer long adventure!

HolidayCottage.com is a useful tool that makes hunting for accommodation easier than ever. You can narrow your searches down to the very town or village you want to stay in, and then narrow them down further by specifying a few desired features, like a nice warm open fire or properties where pets are allowed; with HolidayCottage.com you’ll find the perfect place to stay for you and your party.

Self Catering holidays are becoming more and more popular every year; they offer holiday makers more freedom than any other type of lodging, giving them the opportunity to come and go whenever they please, the flexibility not to be bound by set meal times and the ability to tailor their holiday exactly to their preference, from your budget to the extra luxuries and creature comforts you can enjoy.

HolidayCottage.com helps you choose the best holiday cottage for you, throughout the seasons. Come summer you can pick a holiday cottage with a pool or hot tub, perhaps on the coast of warm Devon or Cornwall. During the Autumn, a country cottage amid the Scottish highlands makes for a stunning base for some colourful outdoor exploring. In winter, why not book a city break away in a cosy town house and perhaps take advantage of some great shaping available across Christmas and January, and join in on an exciting New Year’s party display at the centre of town. Finally consider Mid Wales for an uplifting spring-term break where the countryside comes alive with hundreds of species of busy wildlife, some vibrant woodland walks and a dramatic coastline.

Britain once again is becoming a more and more popular holiday destination as opposed to flying out of the country to a crowded beach resort somewhere in Europe. The reason for this is arguably because the British Isles offers a holiday experience with a heritage and landscape unlike any other in Europe. Rolling green hills, sparkling lakes, magnificent cliff tops and colourful wooded areas are just some of what the UK has to offer. Consider an active holiday hiking on footpaths and nature trails, riding horses with guided tours or cycling along country roads. The mild climates are far more favourable for physical activities across the seasons, such as these, making it ideal for many different types of holiday.

Self-catering rental cottages are a delightful way to holiday in Britain. They can feel like a home away from home, whether it be for a weekend or weeks on end. Self-catering also gives you flexibility for your family's needs, and is often far cheaper in comparison to restaurant dining, during hotel stays. More often-than-not, a rental cottage will have far superior kitchen facilities and space for preparing meals, when compared to that of an apartment or self-catering hotel room. Rental cottages also give you unparalleled privacy, and ample space to enjoy family activities such as game nights, barbeques and even a spot of sunbathing in the garden.

Planning on going to a festival this year? The UK is well known as one of the best countries in Europe for variety, quality and popularity of its music festivals. If you’re planning on spending a weekend or longer seeing some of your favourite bands and performers at a festival like Glastonbury or Reading, why not make a holiday out of it? Stay for longer, avoid the crowds of hundreds of thousands and get some proper sleep and food in a self catering holiday cottage within a couple of miles of the event. Very often it can work out the same price or only a shade more expensive to book a holiday cottage and a day ticket rather than a full weekend ticket, especially when you’re in a group. HolidayCottage.com can help you find the perfect place for you and all of your companions with an in depth cottage search that you can use to search for properties with wireless internet, a hot tub in the back yard and even whether there is a nearby pub.
