Places to visit

With half term fast approaching why not get away from it all on a cottage break.  Take a look at cottages for half term.  We also recommend if you are looking for a last minute cottage that you check out our late deals page or our special offers.  May be you have a certain part of the country in mind or perhaps you need some inspiration?  If you need some ideas take a look at our area guides.

Breaks in rural Britain can be great experiences whatever the time of year.  Many people enjoy rural pursuits.  Whether you enjoy fishing, walking or cycling, rural Britain has lots to offer.  If you like the idea of a log cabin stay why not take a look at Waterloo Farm Leisure in Northamptonshire.   This holiday park has a fishing lake, log cabins, as well as a park for caravans near delightful wheat fields.

With the recent sunny weather the UK may well have been one of the best places to visit in Europe.  In terms of good places to visit though where would you recommend.  Let us have your feedback and recommendations on the best places to go and the best things to see in the UK.  We may well then feature the suggestion in one of our area guides.

Remember when visiting a new area that local museums can be a real mine of information.  Many contain fascinating photos and more.  One great bonus of going away in the UK is that a good number of museums offer free entry still, although local museums may need to charge a small entry fee.  Also remember that by visiting these places you are doing your bit to support the community.  If you are taking a self catering break in London you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to museums.  There is so much choice.  There are so many to explore and so many fascinating things to see.  Remember if you have any tips that would help others, let us have your feedback.  We love to hear reviews and recommendations.

Did you know that in the most recent British Travel Awards Cornwall won the prestigious Best UK region award?  Not only that, St Ives also won the award of the best seaside town in the UK.  With accolades like that, who wouldn't love to take a self catering country cottage holiday in Cornwall?  The Eden project of course is also a big attraction in Cornwall and the Lizard Pensinsula is a recognised area of outstanding natural beauty.  Of course winning an award doesn't necessarily mean that Cornwall is the best place in the UK to holiday.  What constitutes the best place will differ depending on who you ask.  Some people love the solitude, peace and beauty of Scotland for example and some love to return to the same resort year after year because a certain place just captures their heart.  But one thing is for sure, from the British Travel Awards, Cornwall comes highly recommended.
