Our Experience:

Self Catering Cottages provide the opportunity to experience life in your quality assured English Cottage in an English Village or the English Countryside in stark contrast to Hotels or Bed and Breakfast accommodation where despite the excellent service you get you are aware that your daily routine is organised by other people.

Arranging a self Catering Cottage online through our website directly with Cottages4You is as simple and straightforward as booking a flight online with one of the major airlines. In most instances the only contact we have with the owners is a brief phone call a few days prior to arrival to find where the key is to be picked up.

We strongly recommend that you deal only with a reputable organisation

We have organised Self Catering Cottages directly with the owners and unless you know the owners and the cottage this is not something we would recommend. We had to forward bank drafts to make payment and undertake to clean the property thoroughly on departure in order to not forfeit our bond. One cottage we discovered on arrival was over the top of a wet fish shop and we had to cope with the smell of fish for the week of our stay.

We rate cottages4you the market leader in the UK when it comes to providing quality self catering cottages. The service we received from cottages4you  and the quality of the cottages we have hired during our visits to the UK so impressed us that we confidently promote them as the leading provider of self catering cottages.

 

 We use Cottages4You for our holiday accommodation in the UK and have always found their cottages to be clean and well presented.

We confidently recommend Cottages4You for relaxed, comfortable, stress-free accommodation away from home.

     Comments from cottages4you...

On a cottage holiday, the adventure starts the moment you get into your car and start your break.

We'll prepare your accommodation and give you directions showing how to get there, the rest is up to you! You have the freedom to tailor your own break. Freedom is a unique part of a cottage holiday experience, and for many people it's a great excuse to spend time exploring the area and meeting the friendly locals!

When you reach your property you'll find a guide to events and places of interest, and the owner or key-holder will be close at hand if you need any help or advice.

It's our quality that sets us apart

All of our properties are regularly inspected by our team of regional managers and you can rest assured that only the best quality properties are on offer.

Arriving and departing

Most weekly bookings run from Saturday to Saturday, unless the property indicates otherwise. Where accepted, 2 night breaks start on a Friday or Saturday, 3 night breaks on a Saturday and 4 night midweek breaks start on a Monday.

When you have paid for you holiday in full, you will, be sent details of how to find your cottage, and where to collect your keys on arrival. It's best to advise the owner or caretaker of your estimated arrival time, which should normally be after 3pm. On your day of departure, we ask you to leave your cottage by 10.00am so that it can be cleaned for the next arrivals.

Gardens & Parking Facilities

Many cottages have gardens where you can enjoy peace and privacy. Most properties also offer space for off-road parking; you'll find details of this in the full cottage details.

Cleaning

All cottages are cleaned between lets, meaning that all you need to do when you arrive is unpack, put the kettle on and explore your cottage!!! There is no extra charge for this service unless extra heavy cleaning is required after you leave, or you do not leave the property and it's contents as you find them.
