Holiday accommodation costs money and the expense of that can be saved by staying at home. There are various ways of taking a holiday and reducing costs, e.g. swapping homes with another family, visiting family and friends who live in appealing locations. Cottage holidays do not have to be that expensive, and if you shop around, take advantage of Special Offer Cottages and Last Minute Cottages, you may be able to find a reasonably priced good value cottage holiday that you can stretch to.
