Take a weekend or mid week short break
in the UK
A short break does you the world of
good at any time of year. Do something different, explore a new part of the country, be a
tourist for a long weekend, or simply escape! Most cottages are available for short breaks
during the low season - usually from mid October until March, although some offer short
breaks all year round. The minimum period for a short break also varies from one
night to three. It's best to send an email to the cottage owner and
ask if it's not listed. The following links may be helpful in locating a
suitable cottage for your short break:

Cumbria is
always popular for a short break at any time of year. Walkers
tend to be hardy types. A Friday change day means that you can book
a long weekend at any time of the year in the spacious Fell House
in Sedbergh, Cumbria (sleeps up to 14). Alternatively if your "party"
is a lot smaller, either a couple or a small family, you can choose
a good value long weekend break in The Flat at
Fell House. Good walking, pubs and all essentials on your doorstep.
York
has its own special attractions with the walled city and the 'Shambles' with its quaint
olde worlde shoppes. It's a great place for a weekend away with loads to see and do.
Stratford-upon-Avon,
Oxford and Bath are also good for interesting city trips.
Self-catering
cottages, just for 2, with whirlpool bath - close to the city of Bath
 Nestled
in peaceful countryside surroundings Coombe Barn holiday cottages are
only ten minutes from the centre of Bath. On a working sheep farm in
the picturesque village of Kelston these recently converted barns
combine a traditional feel with modern comforts. The
three single story units each sleep two people. Whirlpool baths. There
are barbeque facilities and garden furniture is provided from which
you can sit back and admire the spectacular views. There is a
traditional west country pub just ten minutes walk from the cottages.
The area is great for walking and the Cotswold Way can be accessed via
footpaths to the top of the farm. Short breaks welcome. Telephone
01225 448 757
If it's small
cottages in the Cotswolds that you're looking for then check out
some of our beautiful small cottages with 1 or 2 bedrooms for couples or
firends. Or, perhaps you would just like to
be pampered and utterly spoiled for a long weekend - and why not? Check out
our luxury cottages with their superb facilities.
Give yourself something really nice to look forward to.
Sometimes it's good to just get
away to a place where you can be anonymous - with no demands on you at all. Leave
the mobile at home and 'disappear' for a few days. Several of our cottages offer swimming pools, gyms and saunas to help you 'switch
off'. Sports can also be excellent stress relief. Whether you play golf, fish, walk
or cycle, there will be a cottage or apartment
with these facilities. Personally, I love to just walk along a deserted beach with
the wind in my hair and just the sound of surf for company. Bliss.
London offers a completely type of
therapy. Mad is probably the best description for it, but if you want to be
entertained, amused and end up completely exhausted but happy, then London is the place to
go. Check out our apartments in London.
