Our website is all about helping you find the holiday home in a truly fabulous spot where you can unwind from the stresses of everyday life, where you feel at home the minute you walk through the door and where you can 'recharge your batteries'.

Our website is different from others. Whilst the main business of our website centres around online and phone bookings of holiday cottages, we also provide a depth of information to help you plan your holiday in the country.

We provide many pages of photographs we have taken as we have explored the country from Lands End to the Lake District many times during the years from 1980.

We provide pages of holiday planning information including links to quality websites.

We have painstakingly compiled lists of thousands of towns and villages in the pages: 'Cottages by County and Village' so that you can click a location name then display cottages within 25 miles of the location you select from the more than 15,000 holiday cottages in the database.

We have set up 5 pages for each county so that you can select a page that will display cottages sleeping 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 people when you click on the name of a town or village. Use the drop down menu above to navigate to virtually all the pages in the website.

We provide a free email 'no obligation' help option to find a cottage, a service which is very popular particularly for people looking for cottages during times of peak bookings.

We list cottages, villas, and holiday apartments throughout the UK and in Europe and you can search by country to specific criteria: 

You can select cottages sleeping from 2 to 30 people, near a pub, on the coast, pet friendly etc. by selecting the menu item 'Cottage Search' above, then select 'Full database by Country then Region - UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain' to search using the specific options.

Hold your mouse over 'Cottage Search' in the menu and select 'Help to book a cottage' and you will find a page of information about booking a cottage.

The cottages themselves: 

The cottages we list range from city apartments in London through simple cottages in the country to character grade II listed thatched cottages, cottages with pools, gymnasiums, complexes with restaurants and theatres and even castles,  the range is huge.

You will find cottages enjoying spectacular views across coasts and valleys or nestling peacefully amongst trees and fields.

Each property is regularly inspected and maintained, and will be spotlessly cleaned for your arrival - so all you need to do is unpack and unwind.
