There’s something so quintessentially English about cottage holidays, whether you choose to dwell for the time in the countryside or by the sea.
Possibly one of the nicest places to holiday inland if you are looking for traditional cottage holidays is the Cotswolds.
The Cotswolds is an area in the upper section of the south west of England and is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – the largest area of this sort in the country, covering 790 square miles.
It’s an area that is visited by tourists from overseas and Britain itself. The terms wolds refers to the gentle hills that populate the area. Here you will also find stunning countryside and river valleys, with picturesque water meadows. Villages here are pretty, ancient and constructed from limestone, and there are plenty of historic market towns to explore.
Stone walls are everywhere in the Cotswolds, helping to form part of its identity. Popular pursuits here for people on cottage holidays include cycling and walking through the countryside, playing golf, horse riding and motor sport.
Cottage holidays here are great for families looking to enjoy quality time together, relax and enjoy nature.
If it’s a beach holiday you are looking for, why not explore the many beaches of Devon? This county has some of the best beaches in the country and makes a great place to take the family to for cottage holidays.
There are so many beaches here, why not explore a different one every day? It will keep things varied and you never know what you might discover.
Probably the best-known of Devon’s beaches if Croyde, renowned for surfing. The waves here are powerful and barrels (when the wave is hollow when it breaks) are often seen.
Croyde itself is a village resort, and the main attraction is its beach. This means it can get very busy during the peak summer months
Croyde is perhaps Devon’s best known surfing beach and for good reason. Facing almost due west the beach picks up a good deal of swell and combined with quality sand banks makes for one of the UK’s best surf beaches. Its also reknown for packing a fair bit of power, particularly on the low tide when barrels are not uncommon.
Croyde is a popular resort village with the beach being its main asset, as a result it can get a little crowded at the height of the holiday season.The beach itself is a pretty stretch of sand backing on to sand dunes and is about a half mile walk from the village. To the north it is bordered by the unspoilt red rock headland of Baggy Point
