    Why book a cottage for the August bank holiday

    A self-catering cottage gives you the freedom and flexibility that's hard to find in a hotel. You've got space to spread out, a garden to soak up the (hopefully) sunny August weather in, and the choice to cook in or eat out. Whether you're coming with the whole family, a group of friends or just the two of you, a cottage makes the long weekend feel genuinely relaxing rather than rushed.

    Where to go for the August bank holiday

    Think of a UK destination where you'd want to spend the August bank holiday, and chances are we have a cottage there. From coastal hotspots like Cornwall, Devon, Pembrokeshire and Northumberland to countryside favourites like the Lake District Yorkshire Dales and Scottish Highlands, we have cottages spread across the UK's very best summer settings.
