How do you locate a cottage that you want to enjoy your holiday in? First you need to decide whether you want to visit England, Scotland, Ireland or Wales because there is a big difference between a rustic Dorset thatched holiday cottage to let in the South West of England and a traditional Cotswold stone built farmhouse for rental in the Lake Districts. A Scottish borders cottage is likely to be built from evocative grey local stone, while a traditional holiday cottage in Wales will be in a town or village, or maybe in the heart of the countryside, with magnificent views of mountains, valleys and lochs.
Have you given some thought to whether your holiday cottage has Internet access? For some holiday makers a web connection will be a vital part of making sure your holiday meets all of your needs... Click here for some thoughts about whether you need to make sure your cottages have a modem or broadband Internet connection - Internet access on holiday is often vital
Searching for your cottage will give you lots of options and it is important to think of everything, because it is usually the small details that make all the difference about whether you look back on your holiday with good memories, or end up wishing you had found a more satisfactory cottage to take your well earned break. How many bedrooms has the cottage got? Can it sleep a party of two, three, four or five, or groups of friends with children who have six, seven, eight, nine or ten people with babies and toddlers who need to have special sleeping arrangements. Parties of eleven or twelve are not that uncommon, although the selection of cottages in the UK that can sleep groups of that size is more limited. Is there a country pub nearby, a swimming pool, garden and washing machine? You to have a safe and happy holiday so a few minutes taking some simple precautions could make the difference between a holiday enjoyed and a holiday spoilt. Your property should be regularly inspected and you need to be able to rest assured that only the best quality properties are on offer. When you have paid for you holiday in full, you will be given details of how to find your holidaycottage, and where to collect your keys on arrival. Many cottages have gardens where you can enjoy peace and privacy and do some well earned sun bathing as long as you use sun tan lotion to protect your skin. Cottages should cleaned between lets and this means you only need to unpack when you arrive, put the kettle on and have a refreshing cup of tea, and explore your cottage and the surrounding countryside. There may be no extra charge for cleaning services, but often you will be expected to pay a notional amount.
When you have decided on a general location in the UK you need to move on to think about which county, town or village, and decide whether the holiday cottage you choose is available at the time of year you want to take your holiday. Do you want to go in the Autumn, Summer, Winter or Spring? Remember that a summer holiday in the UK will be hot and sunny especially in June, July, August, or September. At present, availability in the following months is very good: , Easter, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December, Weekend breaks, Bank holiday weekend, Easter week 2005, Christmas week 2004 and New Year week 2005. Fortnight bookings are still available in many months, with Summer the most sought after, followed by Autumn, Spring and then Winter.
When you are looking you should seriously consider booking a property that sleeps up to two more than you requested. This is because you will want the extra space, and a property sleeping 4 people will have a lot less room than properties sleeping up to 6 people. If you want a house in the country sleeping 8 or more people you need to seriously think about all the accommodation details if you need to cater for a party that size.
Taking the safety and well being of holiday makers very seriously, properties need to be well maintained for your comfort and safety. Nevertheless, please remember that when you are in unfamiliar surroundings, you must take special care of yourself and your family. In particular. Check the layout and property so that in an emergency you can get out quickly and easily. Check for a fire extinguisher and fire blanket, and read the instructions on their use. If the property has open fires, make sure that you use the fireguard and check that the fire is safely out before you go to bed, and do not smoke in bed as this is extremely dangerous.
If you are unsure of how to use the any electrical appliances please ask the cottage owner or caretaker, and if your property has night storage heaters, these must never be covered. Cots and high chairs have to conform to British safety standards so if they are damaged or deficient in any way, then tell the owner. Look out for glass patio doors or glazed interior doors - they should have stickers at adult and child eye height. Keep young children off balconies and if there is a garden pond, ensure that children cannot access it. Look out for any steep drops in the garden and if there are garden sheds or outbuildings, ensure that children cannot get in them. Equipment in the children's playgrounds should be safe and in good condition. The surface of the play area should be soft with sand, soft earth or wood chippings. If you have a baby or several babies in your party then you need to remember a highchair and cot, along with bedding and sterilisation equipment, along with nappy changing facilities and a potty.
Many people ask whether properties are suitable for disabled people, whether walking disabled, in a wheelchair needing access using a ramp or are severly disabled, and we often find that the suitability of a property for the disabled is indicated in the property description. When you see the phrase 'Easy walking access' means that a visitor using a walking aid should have no difficulty in gaining access to the principal rooms and garden whereas 'wheelchair access' means that a visitor in a wheelchair should always be able to gain access to the principal rooms and garden. Sometimes though wheelchair users may need assistance from an able bodied member of the party for some manoeuvres.
Some properties have internal stairs so if you really need a bungalow to take your holiday that has no steps and have at least one bedroom and one bathroom on the ground floor. Some properties participate in the Tourist Board National Accessible scheme which is great news for visitors with all forms of disability. In a self-catering cottage you will find most of the standard appliances you would expect to have at home including a washing machine, fridge, freezer, tumble drier, microwave, iron and ironing board. Any property you rent for a holiday should have a full description of services and facilities available. A virtual tour of a holiday cottage is a great way of finding cottages that meet all your needs, maybe with panoramic country views, or special kitchen facilities, a hot tub or a Jacuzzi bath.
Can you play musical instruments when you go and stay in your cottage? Many people are keen pianists and need to know that they will have a piano waiting for them on arrival at their holiday cottage. You need to practice and a holiday is a great time to spend time learning the music that you don't normally have time for. So check if there is a piano, maybe even a grand piano or baby grand. Alternatively you may want a music room that is fully equipped with a cello, double bass, bassoon or organ. Don't forget to check! Alternatively you can take your own musical instrument along with you, carefully wrapped in its case, such as a guitar, trumpet (you don't get much chance to practice these instruments at home, eh?) or something more unusual like a basoon, flute or clarinet.
If you have a swimming pool, unless it is deep you should not dive into the pool, check which end is shallow and which end is deep, and check the location of life belts and other buoyancy equipment and read the instructions on how to use them. We are only concerned with making sure you are completely safe on your cottage holidays so do not swim or go into the pool under the influence of alcohol or immediately after eating a meal. You should also not take breakable glasses or other utensils into the pool area. Do not swim at night or when the pool is closed. Always supervise children.
Many country cottage properties welcome pets for a small additional charge per pet per week or short break, and you might do well to take your dog or cat rather than spend money on a kennel where your dogs might be unhappy, and your cats left feeling you don't love them. You will find details with each self catering holiday property and you just need to make sure you keep your pets off the furniture and remove pet hairs from carpets before you leave. You should exercise your pets outside the garden, maybe in a local park, by the seaside, or in rolling hills and fields. Pets are welcome too, and if you take any other kind of holiday it could cost you a small fortune paying others to look after your pets while you are away. After all why leave them at home when they are one of the family? Many cottages accept pets and you can specify this as a requirement. Please note that provision is made to accept guide dogs and service dogs at properties that do not normally allow pets. If you are taking a guide or service dog this needs to be noted on the booking form so that there are no problems when you arrive. Please keep your pets off the furniture, exercise your pets outside the garden, remove pet hairs from carpets before you leave and don't leave your pets unattended in the cottage. If your cottage in Ireland or France then you need to think about your ferry journey across the Irish sea or across the English Channel from sea port to foreign climes.

If you are taking your car, motor home, cycles or MPV you need to make sure that parking arrangements are satisfactory. Maybe you need off street parking, and it is normal in the country side to find that off road parking is standard. Your booking confirmation should come to you after you have booked your property and you need to know that your cottage is available for your holiday in plenty of time so you can book time off work. If there is a phone number to call you on the owners of your rented cottage will be able to keep in touch and give you travel directions to your holidaycottage.If you need to pay by cash, credit or debit card or cheque then you need to make sure that the cottage you have booked can accept your preferred method of payment. You might need to pay the full amount up front or pay a deposit with the balance when you leave. It's the cottage owners job to make payment as easy as possible, because holidaycottages are the best choice of break, whether a short break or a long let in the British Isles, and payment can be just as simple as visiting a travel agent.

If you want to take extra people, and arrive early you might need to agree with the person who you are renting the cottage from that this is OK. You must vacate the property on time on the last day, and most property owners provide linen at no extra charge while some prefer to hire out their linen by the week. Linen must be requested at the time of booking and it is rare to find that cot linen is provided. If you want a short break in a holiday cottage then you need to think about logistics. When should you book your short break, and what do you need to bring with you, such as bedding, towels and kitchen implements like knives and forks. Short breaks could be one or 2 nights long and start on a Friday or Saturday, and end on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Holidays starting on a Monday are also find and you just need to consider whether you should book in advance to avoid a disappointment, or make a last minute booking and receive a discount. Holidays like half term, Christmas, Easter, May bank holiday, summer holiday and new year are a great time to take your remaining holiday entitlement at work and just take a few days well earned break.

On a cottage holiday as soon as you climb into your car you can start your adventure. Your accommodation should be prepared and waiting for you, and as long as you have a map that gives you good directions showing how to get there it should be a breeze. You have the freedom to tailor your own break and this is a unique part of a cottage holiday experience, and for many visitors to a small friendly country village it's a great excuse to spend some quality time exploring the area and meeting the locals. When you arrive you will need a lot of guides to the local area and get your key which is probably hidden skilfully under the door mat, on the sill or under a flower pot. You should also pay a visit to the local branch of the tourist information service to get up to day information about local events, attractions, gardens, castles, country houses and fun fairs.

It is also good to remember that because the cottages are privately owned they are decorated and furnished to individual taste and you can expect floral wallpaper and chintz.Gas Appliances and gas water heaters, by law, have to be installed and maintained by CORGI engineers. If you have any doubts about the efficient operation of any gas appliance, particularly hot water heaters, in your property, alert the owner immediately. Gas Cookers, as you would do at home, ensure that gas cookers are turned off after use, and in particular, check this before you go to bed.

This is particularly worth taking into consideration if you are elderly or are taking very young guests on your holiday, especially between October and April.
