Holiday cottage rental at self catering holiday homes in the UK

A self catering holiday in the UK is the perfect way to enjoy your holiday break in England Ireland Scotland and Wales. Many holiday makers go to escape the hassle of work and to bathe in the sun and scenery of countryside living in cottages and apartments in the UK. But what sort of holiday home rental can you expect in England? Do you want a rustic cottage with roses in the garden that your children can run around in and play games through the summer months, or do you want a rural village home with a long gravel winding driveway and green grass surrounding a heated swimming pool, climbing frames and traditional swings?

Taking your family on holiday in the car, whether you rent a car to make sure you have all the space you need, or you take your reliable old motor full to the brim with suitcases and luggage of all descriptions, you plan your route across motorways A and B roads, winding your way through smaller and smaller villages and roads until you eventually wend your way in the early hours to the new holiday cottage that you have rented for the next few weeks or months.

You need to be able to rely on your cottage rental company in the UK because who knows, you might have thought you had booked four bedrooms but one turns out to be too small and you need to be able to trust the firm that took your holiday booking so many weeks ago.

Whether it is brief stop over in The Cotswolds, East Anglia, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire or the North Norfolk and its Coast, with holiday cottages to let, with a wealth of facilities like washing machine, tumble drier and dishwasher, or a South Norfolk, Essex, Norfolk Broads, Suffolk or Heart of England apartment with hot running water, shower, bathroom, bidet and at least two toilets. You need all standard amenities to make your holiday the best it can be.

Many Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire cottages and holiday homes include linen and towels in their pricing, and you want a hoover and cleaning maid service to make sure that you don't spend your whole holiday working as if you were at home. Taking children, toddlers and babies is always a challenge because you need to ensure that there is a cot, food preparation facilities like bottle warmers and sterilisation and nappy changing mat equipment, along with a baby bath.

If you take your pet to a pet friendly farmhouse in the Cheshire, Shakespeare Country, Hereford, hoilday cottages in Worcester and The Wye Valley and Peak District areas you need to make sure you keep it on a lead and that you don't worry too much about pet hairs on the carpet or rug, and that the cold stone flag flooring is equipped with a rug and broom, along with dustpan and brush so that your pet can sleep the sleep of kings and not disturb you or the neighbours barking at all hours keeping everyone awake, before the holiday revellers return from a night at the local country pub that serves traditional old English beers and ales in the Shropshire and Cornwall spirit.

North Cornwall and South Cornwall have very different cottages to let than the rental facilities you can expect in Mid Cornwall and other countryside areas in the South of England like Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Wiltshire, Bath, Kent, London and the Home Counties. This is because up north where the evenings are long and dark and the mornings cold and draughty you don't get the rugged scenery of mountain areas like Sussex, Dorset and Somerset.

When it rains in Scotland you often wonder when it is going to stop, because the clouds scud by, drenching everything that is not covered in a waterproof pac a mac. Dorset, Somerset, Devon, East Devon and South Devon on the other hand, in the Devonshire Heartland South of Dartmoor and West Devon, have dozens of rental holiday homes that are the envy of the North Devon, Yorkshire and Northumberland farm houses.

If you take pets like cats and dogs you need to know you can take long beach side walks with your feet digging into the sand, kicking pebbles and smelling the salt sea air gusting sandcastles and flags by the sea. The North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales are great for these walks but the beach on North Yorkshire Coast is some of the most rugged you will find on the York and the Vale of York coastline. Bronte County and Northumberland are also great places to call Heathcliff Heathcliff lend me your socks to your loved ones as you prance like silly fools through fields of sheep and cattle, braying liltingly as they eat the fat of the land from small buckets that are sealed lovingly by Cornish farm hands for their husbands to take down the mine and blow up with TNT.

When you next book a cottage in Wales, either in South East Wales, Snowdonia and the North Cardigan Bay and Mid Wales Pembrokeshire and the South Anglesey Islands you will know the meaning of leeks, the national vegetable of the proudest nation on earth. Those rugby songs ring through the mountains as male voice choirs lurch their way in holiday coaches from Scotland, St Andrews, Perthshire and Tayside all the way to their next The National Eisteddfod of Wales, on the Sutherland, Caithness and Easter Oban and Argyll borders.

Why don't those sheep flinch more willingly as they turn their heads and bleat into the wind as the Ullapool and Wester Ross express glides silently through the train station only stopping to pick up pet dogs on the Edinburgh and The Border Country.

I think madness will now set in firmly as I contemplate another year waiting for my summer holiday on the banks of the Ayrshire Coast, Dumfries and Galloway Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, waiting for my rental cottage to let muster me up in a comfortable log burning stove, toasting marshmallows and toes next to the inglenook fireplaces that are so typical of the farmhouses and small rustic farm cottages in Skye and The Isles of Lochaber, Loch Ness and The Great Glen and Inverness.

Visiting formal and informal gardens during your stay at your rental holiday cottage

Many visitors to cottages to rent are keen gardeners themselves and like to ensure that their holiday cottage is located nearby landscaped and formal gardens that are maintained by organisations like English Heritage and The National Trust.

These stately home gardens are best viewed in April, May, June, July, August and September because the winter months of the year including January, February, March, October, November and December are autumnal, winter and spring times when the garden blooms are not in flower, the leaves on deciduous trees have not emerged from their winter rest, and the grass is damp and soggy.

Most homes welcome visitors to their gardens on the following days of the week: Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday whereas a more limited selection tend to limit visitors on other 'off' days such as Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Several areas of the United Kingdom enjoy the most glorious scenery along with stately and formal gardens: Scotland, England's North Country, Central England, South of England, London, Wales, Channel Islands andNorthern Ireland.

The types of gardens favoured include Botanical, Woodland/forest, Landscape/parkland, Maze/mazes,Rock garden, Topiary/Knot garden, Oriental/Japanese, Kitchen/vegetable, Formal, Cottage, Zoological/nature
Organic/herb, Specialist/exotic collections, Arboretum and Water gardens.

Many formal and specialist gardens focus on the development of specific types of flower, and it is worth investigating whether the season nature of roses, azaleas, daffodils, magnolias, camellias, wild flowers, heather, herbaceous perennials, or the fabulous fruits found in Orchard/fruit collections such as apples, pears, strawberries an raspberries are out to flower and able to be picked.

The self cater holiday in the UK is the firmest and most robust memory we should all take away from our relaxing break. As we drive down the wending road in Royal Deeside, Cairngorms and the North East through the Khyber pass of Cumbria with the majestic sweeping M1, A1 and M25 traffic wending its way past the A9 turnoff to the Lake District National Park and cumbria, The Lakes and the Eden Valley Blackpool and The North West.

Just remember, if you need Internet access and a pet friendly cottage with a phone line you need to state this in your booking.
