UK holiday cottages

I am looking for a holiday cottage for some time in Aprilin England for a week or so, around £300, somewhere quiet preferably near a lake/river and where we can take a dog and let him off lead.

Anyone know anywhere good or a good website to look on?

Thanks

We have stayed in some good places found on this website.....the longer you leave it before you book the better last minute bargins you will find!

try the landmark trust

Try www.cottageguide.co.uk - owners pay to list their cottages on there and the site doesn't take a cut (you deal direct with the owners) so it's often cheaper. Got ours listed on there and it does very well - but it's in Scotland so no use to you!

Thanks all, shame yours is in Scotland that's a little bit too far to go.

I have booked holiday homes from this site all over Europe and been really pleased with all of them

I've booked several holidays through English Country Cottages and have been very pleased with them.

Discounts for repeat visits! Ours is a little trek from Findhorn (beautiful place) in the Cairngorms National Park.

I've stayed at several places advertised on the cottage guide and all have been very good and a decent price - none of the overheads/premium prices that come with Hoeseasons, Cottages4You and the likes.

Where in England do you live?

There are some great cottages and lodges in Snowdonia. If you want to stay in England, Cumbria [Lake District] is very nice, but if you live in the south, Snowdonia is closer.

We go camping at a lovely place called Humblebee farm, there's no lake but it is in lovely surroundings and some lovely walks for the dog.

They have 3 holiday cottages on site with hot tubs and they also have self catering wig wams its a really nice place!

It's near filey so in the surrounding area is Whitby,Scarborough,flamborough etc...

Really good company with some lovely properties, though they don't cover the whole of England, just the West Country.

here are you Oscar

I like the area around Grange in Cumbria. lots of dog walking there., and a bit different to the lakes proper. Cartmel is lovely

Cornwall also. Beaches are maybe dog-permitted before Easter. I like the are around Tintagel, as well as many others. Trebarwith Strand is one of my favourite spots.

We are in the Midlands, so not too far away from anywhere really but don't want to travel too far, mainly to save the petrol money!

Thanks for all the new suggestions, going to have a look at them all now

Bloomin eck. It's pricy to holiday at home. Better off going abroad where at least you can get some good weather. Shame as I LOVE the UK.

gemma-the-husky · 09/03/12 - 21:36

cottswolds is nice, if you like country stuff

bourton, burford, chipping campden, etc etc

asp746 · 09/03/12 - 21:45

I booked a holiday cottage with Sykes in the Yorkshire Dales for my birthday last year and it was absolutely wonderful.
