'Staycations' are set to be bigger than ever in 2011, with numerous UK families going to the British countryside for a home-grown break. And one of the most fashionable destinations for this spring and summer is the South West.
If you are contemplating treating yourself to a cottage holiday, Cornwall is a holiday location with a difference. It is a charming combination of ancient and contemporary, rugged and lush, mystery, history and some of the best sunny weather the UK can offer.
Cottages to rent in Cornwall are ideal for exploring this enchanting tourist destination. Wherever you're in Cornwall, you're never far from the sea. Inland, cutting through typical winding lanes with high hedges, you'll find yourself enjoying amazing stunning sea and coastal vistas. The the environment is refreshingly salty and beautifully clean. As light pollution is minimal, the night time skies are teeming with stars. And also the shorelines are breathtakingly beautiful, be it the surfers' paradise of Newquay or the county's countless secret, hidden coastal caves and coves.
Cornish holiday cottages are available in a variety of size and shapes. From simple to luxurious, family and pet friendly to adult-only retreats, based on the coast or inland. Most people opt for somewhere that can provide a genuine home from home. Great facilities really are a must unless you're into roughing it. And luxury is important whether you happen to be visiting for a summer beach holiday or surf-based break, off-season hiking holiday or winter adventure complete with outdoor activities.
It also helps if your Cornish holiday cottage has its own grounds allowing you to soak up the sun and relax in privacy. A garden's particularly significant should you be taking the children with you, providing somewhere to allow them to play out before going to bed when the weather's warm. Just picture it. You're seated at a garden table having a cool glass of wine or beer. The sun's going down. You've had a fabulous day and now you're experiencing the a feeling of being absolutely relaxed the very first time in ages. All of your problems have slipped away... that's Cornwall!
