Long evenings in the garden cooking on the barbecue, outings to the coast or countryside, we are lucky to have such a wonderful landscape to explore when it comes to summer in the UK.
Leave the children with the grandparents for a romantic break away to recharge your batteries, or take advantage of some true family time and have a holiday to remember in a holiday cottage. Holiday near the sea for bucket and spade beach days, or stay further in land to enjoy panoramic hilltop views and dog walking havens – the moors are a great place to holiday if you want to bring your four-legged friend. Whatever you are looking for in a summer break, choose the flexibility a holiday cottage in South England will give you.
