There are plenty of places you can stay in when you go on holiday in the Cotswolds. But arguably the best option of the lot is the country cottage. Cotswolds cottages in particular have a certain look and feel about them that makes it clear you are in this part of the country!
Here at Manor Cottages we’ve got plenty of countryside cottages in the Cotswolds that you can escape to for a weekend break or longer holiday. And there is no doubt that they are all exceptionally popular.
If you’re looking for some reasons to convince you that holidays in the UK are better when taken in a holiday cottage, the following pointers should help.
1. You can enjoy period features. Some of our cottages are hundreds of years old. Take Corner Cottage for example, which is located in Burford. This dates back to the 16th century, so who knows who may have been there before you? It’s certainly got more character and history than you would get from the average bed and breakfast location!
2. You can see what it’s like to live in a real Cotswolds cottage. We wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to up sticks and move to the Cotswolds permanently. After all, it has plenty to offer and the scenery is amazing. But staying in a Cotswolds self catering cottage for a short break is the ideal way to sample life in this part of the country. For starters many of them are constructed from real Cotswold stone. The Greys is a typical example. Situated in Chedworth, this cottage has a lot going for it – not least its wood burning stove and the classic exterior look that is common to the area.
3. The cottages are usually located in quiet areas. If you are escaping to the Cotswolds for a few days, you’re probably doing so in order to get some peace, quiet and rest. Holiday cottages are almost always situated in out of the way places, although they are still usually close enough to essential amenities to offer the best of both worlds.
4. Features such as open fires are ideal for those winter breaks. A stay in the Cotswolds isn’t just restricted to the summer months. In fact a winter break is generally a lot cheaper than a summer one, and if you find it’s a bit cold you’ll want to look for a cottage that has an open fire to use. Snuggling up in front of the fire for a romantic evening in – what could be better?
You probably don’t need any more convincing that a stay in a typical Cotswolds country cottage is the best way to enjoy a holiday in the area. And there are lots to choose from, as you’ll see from our website.
But no matter which one you settle on, you won’t find yourself too far away from all the best locations, attractions and venues worth paying a visit to. So don’t spend all day enjoying the cottage – there’s much more to see yet!
