Looking for somewhere to sneak off to, away from work, the kids, the neighbours, friends, relatives…in fact, everyone? A tranquil place simply made for spending quality time together as a couple. Or an escape on your own, to savour some of that precious 'me' time we so often crave. If this sounds like a good idea to you, do consider a holiday cottage near a lake.

Imagine misty mornings that transform into warm, sunny days, with rays flickering across the water's surface. Add rich, golden sunsets and everyone's on their honeymoon in a holiday cottage near a lake.

Enjoy peace & tranquility with a lakeside holiday home

Spend lazy days on and around the water. Fishing, swimming, boating - even water sports and leisure cruises depending on the location. Enjoy lakeside walks or hacks on horseback. Or simply sit on the banks with the latest bestseller and relax. That's the most wonderful thing about being on holiday - it gives you the chance to indulge in those things you enjoy the most, without any guilt.

From waterside picnics to meals in stylish lakeside eateries, make the most of your surroundings and relish the local fare. If you can picture yourself doing any of these things, a holiday cottage near a lake may be your perfect retreat!

Alternatively, these cottages near railway stations might also be worth checking out if you're planning to get to your next holiday destination by train. Or, these canalside cottages and cottages near a river can also make for wonderful places to stay if you're looking for somewhere peaceful and secluded!
