Where can I find cottage holidays in the UK?
The best types of holidays in the UK are spent in cottages in the country. Cottages in the UK are available for hire through a range of means, including both through specialist UK holiday companies and general travel agents. Most of the UK's popular holiday areas are based on its beautiful coastline, but many cottage accommodations are also on offer inland, such as cottages in Wales or Scotland.
Searching online
Cottage specific accommodation
Many British travel websites are either entirely centred upon cottage holidays, such as Cottagesdirect.co.uk or Easycottages.co.uk, while others designate separate areas of their website to staying in cottages, such as Hoseasons.co.uk. Perform an Internet engine search for "cottage holidays UK" to find the greatest selection of cottage breaks in the United Kingdom.
Browse the different pages hosted by these cottage holiday websites to find your perfect match for accommodation.
Once you have found a suitable cottage accommodation at the right price, search the tourism website for that British county or region to make sure there are plenty of interesting cultural, historic or outdoor activities within easy driving distance.
