Just show me Cottages in England
There's never been a better time to rent
a holiday cottage in England, with it's green and
pleasant countryside. Whether you're keen on a coastal or a
countryside cottage, or looking for something quiet, quirky or
cosy, Sykes' collection of hand-picked English cottages from
Penrith to
Penzance
will be sure to have the right holiday home for you. Perhaps
you're seeking a romantic cottage for
two, or a property large
enough to accommodate a family gathering? Maybe a
group of cottages on one site, so you're together but not
falling over one another, or a simple barn conversion in splendid
isolation for a last minute holiday break? Sykes offers an
extensive range of English cottages the length and breadth of the
country, ideal for weekend breaks and longer stays.
For cottages on the
coast, firm favourites such as Devon cottages
or Cornwall
cottages take some beating. The wide, sandy beaches of East Anglia too,
make Norfolk
holiday cottages a fabulous choice; coastal areas here are often
quieter than better-known resorts, even in peak season. Or how
about a Northumberland
holiday cottage; in this region every beach seems to end in
dramatic cliffs, topped by an ancient castle, standing guard for
centuries, and just waiting to be explored?
Active adventure has never been easier in England, with no less
than ten diverse and beautiful National Parks making veritable
playgrounds for getting out and about in the Great Outdoors.
Between the National Trust and English Heritage you'll find
more than 700 historic houses, abbeys, stately homes and castles to
enjoy, not to mention hundreds of stunning parks, estates and
gardens providing a lift to the spirits and a feast for the senses,
whatever season you choose to visit.
From pot holing to paragliding and from fishing to fossil hunting,
you can indulge every possible activity and pastime on your English
cottage holiday. Get closer to nature with a holiday in bird
lover's paradise the Norfolk
Broads, with its unique wetland habitat. Cycle through
Grizedale Forest or scale Scafell Pike on a Lake
District cottage holiday, or feel the wind in your
hair riding out on two wheels or on four legs from your North Yorkshire
Moors cottage or Dartmoor holiday
home. A holiday break in the Peak
District offers a wealth of outdoor opportunities,
from caving to culture; Yorkshire
Dales cottages are on the doorstep of pretty market
towns and great walking country, or for a holiday home in the rural
heart of
England , choose a Shropshire
cottage, a property in Herefordshire
or the scenic Wye
Valley. Sykes' gorgeous Cotswolds
cottages are located in picture postcard-pretty locations, such as
Bourton on the Water and Stow on the Wold, or perhaps you'll
choose to leave it all behind and set sail for a holiday cottage on
the Isle of
Wight ?
Visit historic towns and cities such as Oxford, Chester and Stratford Upon
Avon . Experience the warmth of a North East welcome
in Newcastle, or the
cathedral city of Durham. Take time out
from the beach and enjoy Exeter from our collection of Devon
cottages, relax in Bath or go for all-out retail therapy in
York or Leeds.
Farm cottages make for great holidays with young children. Whitby
cottages, Cornwall cottages, countryside or properties by the sea;
whatever your criteria for a memorable self-catering holiday in the
UK, rest assured that Sykes' English holiday homes, from those
with pools to
luxury pads or
dog friendly
cottages, are all subject to our robust quality
assurance programme, and are always selected with location and
quality in mind.
That's why from
Hadrian's Wall to Hastings and from
Carlisle to
Clovelly;
rural, urban, coastal or country, Sykes' handpicked English
holiday cottages provide your ideal home-from-home. From a full-on
family holiday with the kids or a last minute romantic retreat for
just the two of you, let our hand picked and personally inspected
selection of English cottages provide you with the keys to your own
ideal holiday haven.
