When it comes to escaping the busyness of everyday life, what
can be more relaxing than a retreat near a trickling river, the
calming sea, a quaint canal or a scenic lake? This collection of
lettings make wonderful bases for any waterside holiday whilst
accommodating families, couples or friends who want to make the
most of the UK's and Ireland's stunning bodies of
water.
Why Waterside Breaks?
With a huge range of waterside cottages to choose from, there is
bound to be something to suit your tastes. Perhaps you'd like
to stay by the sea, where you can enjoy idyllic outings at the
harbour, before wandering down to the beach to sunbathe on the
shore, go rock pooling or surf along the coast?
If you enjoy livelier waterside breaks, then cycling or hiking
along a river or canal could be ideal for you; maybe you could
discover a couple of enchanting waterfalls on the way! Waterside
holidays are also ideal for those angling enthusiasts seeking a
secluded getaway where they can simply settle down by a lake with a
fishing rod in hand.
