A long weekend cottage break

Staying in a holiday cottage when you visit Britain, rather than a hotel or camping, for example, has many perks. For one, it’s more than likely that you'll have all the creature comforts that you’re used to at home, including a fully fitted kitchen, television, WiFi and a comfortable bed. A holiday cottage can offer you space and peace and quiet meaning that you don’t have to worry about fitting your holiday plans in around mealtimes or site closing times. They really help to give you a sense of freedom on your holiday, like you're really getting away from the daily grind and are completely free to do whatever you want to do.
