Readymade beds and fluffy towels; this simple but appreciated welcome is standard with us.
Towels and readymade beds
All of our cottages provide bed linen and towels as standard, with a change of bedding included for holidays of two weeks or more. You’ll also find a fresh change of towels for each week (for in the house only, please bring your own for the beach) and tea towels a-plenty.
The beds will be readymade and waiting for you on arrival so you can simply sink into comfort and relax straight into your holiday.
You don't need a whole week away to relax and recharge. Sometimes a short break is all you need to explore, adventure and take some time to yourself. Short breaks are perfect getaways year-round whether you’re looking for a spring escape, autumn adventure, or a cosy winter break. And no matter what time of year it is, we’ll have something for you, whether you need a dog friendly cottage, a place for the whole family, a cottage with a sea view or fancy a cottage with a hot tub. With short break cottages across the UK, we've got plenty to choose from.
Go on, treat yourself...
