Essex cottage holidays in August

August is the last of the summer months and although the weather can be magnificent, it heralds the end of school holidays in Britain and because of the high demand for family breaks, cottage rental rates are at their highest excluding the December festive period. It can be very nice to squeeze in a week away with the family before the new school year begins.
