Cottage vacation rentals in Great Britain

Lovely long weekend in this beautiful cottage! Had the best time! Perfect for doggies too felt safe and relaxed will definitely be recommending to friends and would book again ☺️ thank you again!

Rosie is a friendly and welcoming host. A beautiful cottage and location, great for our family of five. The hot tub was a welcome treat after a walk up Snowdon. Would definitely recommend staying here and will hopefully come back to stay here in the future.

A great place to stay for an escape from the city. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful and the wood fired hot tub is a great bonus. Very clean bathrooms, a good, functional kitchen and one of the comfiest beds I’ve slept in made for a fantastic stay. Rhys was very responsive and helpful, a real gem in the countryside.

A beautiful, spacious cottage in a stunning location. There are plenty of incredible hikes nearby & coming back to soak in the hot tub with lovely views was wonderful.

We had a wonderful stay at The Old Potting Shed, it has a lovely homely feel & the area is very peaceful. The hosts James & Rachel were very kind, very accommodating & brilliant with communication, nothing was a problem. The accommodation is just beautiful, the attention to detail is fantastic & everywhere is amazingly clean. The open plan living area is so beautiful, especially when the morning light shines in through the bi-fold doors. The hot tub was definitely a highlight for us to relax in, enjoy the birdsong & watch the sunset in an evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!

My family & I have just had a lovely few days staying at this property. The cottage & grounds are beautiful with lots of flora & fauna - generous lawn to the front, lake & terrace to the rear & side, flower-filled borders throughout, all surrounded by fields, woodland & birdsong. We enjoyed using the hot tub overlooking the lake, a really special setting. It’s all very private & tranquil. The cottage itself is spacious & cosy, with thoughtful touches throughout (comfy beds, robes, well-stocked log burners), plenty of room for our family of four, plus dog (bonus - pet friendly!) & a lovely lounge to relax in after biking & walking all day. The kitchen was well-equipped, though we didn’t do any cooking. The location is great too – secluded but close enough to nearby villages. We’d definitely recommend having a car. Hosts were nice & friendly, easy to communicate with & quick to respond when contacted. All in all, a wonderful stay & we’d highly recommend to others. Thank you!

had an amazing stay. Cottage was very clean and couldn’t fault it. Hot tub was a great extra. Would 100% recommend any of johns cottages

Had a really relaxing and enjoyable stay. Thank you so much Nick and Vicky

Perfect getaway. Very clean and had everything you could possibly need and more. The treats left for us were a lovely touch but the toy and treats left for Teasel, our cocker spaniel, were very well received. Squeaky donkey is now her favourite toy. Alison was a very responsive host and answered our questions very quickly.

wardhall cottages is a perfect peaceful retreat. Great fire, laid and ready to light on arrival. Huge bath beautiful countryside with easy walks to a woodland with the dogs. Near to Cockermouth for shops and cafes and close to Allonby for beautiful beach walks and sunsets.

Had a great stay, lovely area, accommodation was perfect for us, would consider it again when visiting our favourite part of the world. Plus perfect host.

A beautiful cottage in the perfect location. 20-30 mins from every major place you could want to go. Cosy and homely with a lovely sunny garden. Private and secure, a real Norfolk countryside stay! We loved our stay, everything we needed was provided and Scott gave us all the information we needed to allow easy check in. We can’t wait to come back again, hopefully for longer next time. Thanks so much!

We had a wonderful time! The cottage was lovely and cosy and as described. It had everything we needed so we could cook our meals and included all the bedding as well. There was a lovely little outside space too which would have been wonderful in warm weather. Unfortunately when we stayed we were unable to use the fire due to crows nesting which was a shame, especially as it was very cold and windy for us, so it might be worth checking for anyone else if this is one of the main features that appealed like it did for ourselves. There was no local shops but Tenby was a short drive away with plenty of places to visit and lots of beaches nearby so the location was great. There is a local pub but only open Friday and Saturday evening. Sleeping arrangement was great as well but there is no door between the snug and the lounge so be aware if you have anyone sleeping on the sofa bed like we did. Overall a beautiful cottage in a great place, we’ll definitely be back.

This was my second time staying at Norton Court Farm and it was just as wonderful as the first. The cottage was cozy, spotlessly clean and appointed with many thoughtful amenities that make it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen was fully equipped making it easy to cook meals and the host was very welcoming and offered some lovely local recommendations. Thank you so much for hosting us! :)

Church Cottage is absolutely beautiful both from the outside, with a wonderful, sunny garden, and the inside, which is beautifully furnished and comfortable. There is a huge amount of space with the two sitting rooms, dining room and 4 bedrooms, and the whole place is extremely well equipped. There is even a second fridge, as well as a freezer, washing machine, dryer and microwave. We had a wonderful time sitting in the "snug" in the mornings before moving onto the sunny patio, and getting comfy in front of the fire in the living room in the evenings. It's a short walk to the coastal path and to the seal trips at the quay, and an easy drive to restaurants and pub in Wells or Blakeney. Sadly, the Anchor pub right by the cottage seems to have closed down. The steam train from Holt was also a fun thing to do. We can all thoroughly recommend this beatiful cottage. Louise sent really clear instructions about how to find it and was super helpful in all her communications. A great host!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Emma's place. The secure garden was great for our dog to roam whilst we relaxed in the hot tub at the end of the day following plenty of walking around the Lakes. The cottage itself has loads of character but everything you need for your stay. We were fortunate to have the weather to make use of the gas BBQ. Emma was very welcoming and chilled with the fact we had a good run up and arrived half an hour before check-in time. Nothing was too much trouble and the fresh eggs were delicious! The cottage is just a 10 minute drive from Windermere, (20 minutes to Ambleside, 30 minutes to Grizedale forest), so whilst it's not in the throng of all us tourists, we benefited from the peace and quiet when we wanted it, but nothing was too far away. We'd also highly recommend the fish and chip shop in Staveley, just a 4 minute drive down the road. Hopefully we'll be back!

Very clean space. Neat layout and decoration Very cocooning. In a peaceful village. I recommend it.

Amazing stay. Host was very helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. Will definitely return.

Had a wonderful two night stay with my husband, two children and cocker spaniel! The house was lovely, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed (and really appreciated the little touches like the daffs on the table, yummy cake and a treat for the dog. Totally beautiful (small) garden that was full of colour (very much enjoyed a glass of wine under the festoon lights in the apple tree both evenings). A little note to anyone bringing a dog - If you have an escape artist dog like we have, you might want to check the fences and bushes for little escape holes as ours found them quickly! But a bit of patching up with bits and bobs ment that we could relax while he sniffed around. Ticehust is a gem of a village with lovely independent shops (and The Bell is a great place to eat - really quirky and delicious food). We would absolutely stay again!

What a hidden little gem! Was greeted by Jenny who explained everything about the cottage and surrounding area. Cottage was so cosy with some really nice touches. Garden is beautiful and watching the birds and squirrals was was just lovely to watch in the morning. There is so much to see and do in such a stunning location. Super nice hosts and would definitely recommend.

It is a comfortable and clean home and very spacious. I felt welcomed and loved. Paula surprised us with some snacks and breakfast food. I really recommend it.

Second time we have stayed here and will definitely be back for a third! Great house, loads of space for the kids and dogs and friendly hosts.

A lovely cottage in a great location, close to lots of places to visit. It is within walking distance of Traquair House, which is definitely worth a visit. Really well equipped and comfy. We enjoyed sitting out in the garden which is a sun trap. Hope to be back in the future.

Perfect cozy getaway with tasteful touches that made it feel like a treat to stay there. The cottage was gorgeous and had so many small touches that made you feel right at home and elevated the stay. We hope to come stay again, it was 10/10
