Sometimes, escaping to a beautiful part of the UK with loved ones is the best way to spend a holiday. Renting a cottage on a self-catering break is a wonderful way to feel like a local and enjoy a home away from home in a brand-new setting, and unlike hotels, you can tailor your property to suit your needs. From large houses with several bedrooms and bathrooms for if you are visiting with a big family, to smaller, cosy cottages with character features that also welcome dogs, you can ensure your break is the most special one yet.
Pleasing the kids is easy on a self-catering cottage break, as you can opt for a house with its own garden with play equipment such as trampolines and swings which they will love. These houses might also feature bunk beds and a toy box in the bedroom with games for them to play with, so you won’t have to worry about keeping them occupied.
If taking your pooch with you, then consider accommodation that not only welcomes dogs, but is very pet-friendly with lots of doggy accessories for them to enjoy. The house might come with mats for when their paws get muddy on walks, throws for them to sleep on by the fire, food and water bowls and kennels in the garden.
