Free and easy summer stays

-

WHICHEVER part of beautiful Britain takes your fancy this summer, a free and easy self-catering break makes sense.

Kind on the pocket, especially if you have a family, staying at a cottage or lodge means you can come and go as you please.

You won’t have to rush in order to make it downstairs for breakfast in time or worry about waking other guests if you stay out late. Simply eat when and where you want and do as little or as much as you please.

Cottages come in all shapes and sizes and happy holiday settings. Retreat to a romantic bolthole for two by the beach, perfect for long lie-ins, lazy lunches and wanders along the coastal path.

Need somewhere child-friendly with a cot and high chair, or a dogwelcomi­ng property, with walkies from the front door? That’s easy to accommodat­e, too, with instant filters on many cottage agency websites. Or stay on a working farm or in walking distance of a pub.

Whether you’re thinking big or more bijou, there’s still time to find a self-catering solution that’s just right for you, especially if you are prepared to widen your search by just a few miles.
