It's a 'green and pleasant land', with more documented history than almost anywhere. Our
historical buildings go back centuries; some complete with ghosts and chilling
tales. The Royal Family continues to provide pomp and ceremony, scandal and tragedy.
We have a unique culture, and numerous places of interest for tourists to visit and things
to do.
An
English self-catering country cottage is ideal if you wish to explore a particular part of the
country, for example London, then Stratford-upon-Avon and the Lake District. Cottages can
be rented for complete weeks or short breaks. They give you the freedom and space
of home in a level of comfort that you select. You may like to experience a
17th Century traditional cottage, a baronial hall, or something more modern with a
pool. The choice is yours. A hire car will enable you to get around easily and make
sightseeing simple. All cottage owners will be pleased to be able to help and advise you
about their area.
