Holiday Cottages in a Town
Holidays in a town offer you the balance of having local pubs, cafes and restaurants nearby and the countryside and coast just a short journey away. If you like to leave the car at home, our holiday homes in towns have a good selection of things to do right on your doorstep so you’ll be able to get around by walking or taking public transport. Town cottages are perfect for people who want local activities and shops nearby.
