Cottages to Rent in the UK and Eire

Cottage Holiday Rents Mention the word 'holiday' to most people, here in the UK, and the majority of them immediately think of foreign locations across the 7 continents of the world (yes, that includes as far south as Antarctica!). Sixty years ago, any holiday outside the UK would have seemed exotic and almost unattainable for the majority of us. So what changed? Higher sums of disposable income, the increasing availability of package holidays and flights to all corners of the earth made the foreign holiday very attractive. Combine this with the fact that many popular destinations can almost guarantee the weather that the holidaymaker can expect and the answer to the question becomes even more clear. But, stop and think; the novelty of the sand, sea and sun can begin to wear a bit thin after a time and alternative holidays become more attractive.

The UK, ie. England, Scotland, Wales and Ulster (northern Ireland), together with Eire (the Republic of Ireland), offers a tremendous diversity of beautiful scenery and a heritage going back thousands of years. Amongst the many types of holiday available in the UK are the holiday cottages offered for rent. 'Cottages' can sometimes be a bit of a misnomer as some of them are more like mansions and some are only tiny barns or converted industrial workplaces, windmills or oast houses. In other words something to suit all tastes from the simple and basic rustic, to a city mews cottage, to an undeniably luxurious mansion to sleep a dozen in a beautiful corner of this land. Every major tourist city in the UK and Ireland has holiday homes tucked away in sidestreets, on city centre roads or in nearby and convenient suburbs. Think of London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmimgham, Newcastle, Durham, York, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Cardiff, Dublin, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Waterford, Limerick, Galway and Cork - just a selection! Of course, hire charges reflect all these differences but, again, there will be just what you want in your own price bracket. There is such a wealth of choice of location, type of building and cost that it's quite difficult narrowing down the options. Choose the criterion that you feel is most important and start there. It might be that you have a preference for a particular country, England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland and you can check out some of the different options and holiday locations in the pages at this site.
