Beaches and coast paths are quieter in autumn and winter, offering the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. With the colours of the landscape changing to rich golds and reds, exploring the coast becomes even more magical. So why not breathe in the salty sea and recharge your batteries at one of our coastal cottages.

Immerse yourself in the heart of the garden with a stay in any of our gorgeous cottages, which offer new perspectives on special places. Whether its leafy and wild, or perfectly manicured and famously-designed that does it for you, there's a garden cottage perfectly placed for your holiday escape.

Don't just explore a city, be part of its cultural heritage when you stay in one of our restored historic houses. Swap hotel rooms and buffet breakfasts for quirky, characterful rooms in self-catering historic houses.

Those windswept beaches and craggy coastlines make perfect surfing conditions. Our cottages are close to the waves so you can check when surf's up.

Our cottages perch along tucked-away creeks, winding rivers and open sea. Many have their own jetties so you can bring your own canoe or kayak.

From coastal farmhouses near safe, sandy beaches to woodland hideaways by ancient castles, you'll find our holiday cottages offer the perfect base for a family adventure. We’ve chosen some of our favourite cottages for a holiday with the kids this summer.

Think you need to go abroad for beaches, culture and adventure this summer? Book a break to one of our characterful holiday cottages and you can enjoy all that without the stress of travelling overseas.
