The allure of the coast holds timeless appeal whatever the time of year and our collection of beach cottages remain firm favourites for families and couples alike. From remote, seafront hideaways made for romantic escapes to family-sized pads close to lively resorts, our beach cottage rentals come in a variety of styles, either within walking distance of or just a short drive from the coast.
Families will love staying at a cottage near the beach, the combination of fantastic accommodation, sandy beaches and great attractions, is truly unbeatable. Check out the local shops and gather your beach paraphernalia - think buckets and spades, water-wings and wind-breaks, surf boards, kites, fishing nets…the list goes on. Then pack a picnic hamper and head for the sands for hours of fun. If 'Scamp' is with you, make sure dog access is OK, then get ready to play ball and fetch. Those of you holidaying without children can spend relaxing days sunning yourselves on the sands or enjoy hand-in-hand walks along coastal paths.
Back at your beach holiday cottage, relax and unwind and take in that invigorating sea air - think alfresco breakfasts and BBQ suppers. Or make your way to the local chippie for the freshest battered fish and eat straight from paper. Delicious!
