Small Holiday Cottages

We offer a huge choice of small self catering holiday cottages in the UK and Ireland.

To see the smallest cottages first in the list, please sort the results below by selecting 'Sleeps (lowest first)' or 'Bedrooms (lowest first)'.


Small cottages are just right for holidaying solo or in twos

If there's just the two of you planning a holiday, we feature a considerable range of small cottages from countryside hideaways to city-centre apartments. Styles vary and include cosy, character cottages, often with atmospheric features like wooden beams and tiled floors. Attractive outdoor areas may take the form of flower-filled courtyards or pretty lawns with manicured borders - both wonderful spots for dining à deux alfresco-style. Other small cottages are more contemporary in design, with lots of shiny chrome, wooden floors and possibly open-plan living. It really depends on what kind of thing you're looking for.

If you fancy a break alone to escape everyday stresses or chill-out with your favourite four-legged pal, small cottages are the ideal option. Financially, they win hands down over costly single hotel supplements - plus you have all that freedom, with no dress codes or set mealtimes to worry about. From north to south, east to west and also over in southern Ireland, our small cottages guarantee intimacy, privacy and the perfect place to unwind. Try one soon!
