Cottage vacation rentals in England

Had a wonderful evening, very private, peaceful and a lovely setting to unwind and relax with beautiful views. Lliwen was very welcoming upon arrival. Would recommend! We will be coming back for sure. Thanks again for a fantastic stay!

We spent a lovely extended weekend at the barn visiting our family in Norfolk. The barn was clean, warm and comfortable and had everything that we needed. Jill and Phil were friendly and welcoming and check-in and check-out were easy. The super-king sized bed was comfy and the hot tub was an added bonus after a busy couple of days with the grandchildren.

Lovely long weekend in this beautiful cottage! Had the best time! Perfect for doggies too felt safe and relaxed will definitely be recommending to friends and would book again ☺️ thank you again!

A great place to stay for an escape from the city. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful and the wood fired hot tub is a great bonus. Very clean bathrooms, a good, functional kitchen and one of the comfiest beds I’ve slept in made for a fantastic stay. Rhys was very responsive and helpful, a real gem in the countryside.

We had a wonderful stay at The Old Potting Shed, it has a lovely homely feel & the area is very peaceful. The hosts James & Rachel were very kind, very accommodating & brilliant with communication, nothing was a problem. The accommodation is just beautiful, the attention to detail is fantastic & everywhere is amazingly clean. The open plan living area is so beautiful, especially when the morning light shines in through the bi-fold doors. The hot tub was definitely a highlight for us to relax in, enjoy the birdsong & watch the sunset in an evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!

My family & I have just had a lovely few days staying at this property. The cottage & grounds are beautiful with lots of flora & fauna - generous lawn to the front, lake & terrace to the rear & side, flower-filled borders throughout, all surrounded by fields, woodland & birdsong. We enjoyed using the hot tub overlooking the lake, a really special setting. It’s all very private & tranquil. The cottage itself is spacious & cosy, with thoughtful touches throughout (comfy beds, robes, well-stocked log burners), plenty of room for our family of four, plus dog (bonus - pet friendly!) & a lovely lounge to relax in after biking & walking all day. The kitchen was well-equipped, though we didn’t do any cooking. The location is great too – secluded but close enough to nearby villages. We’d definitely recommend having a car. Hosts were nice & friendly, easy to communicate with & quick to respond when contacted. All in all, a wonderful stay & we’d highly recommend to others. Thank you!

had an amazing stay. Cottage was very clean and couldn’t fault it. Hot tub was a great extra. Would 100% recommend any of johns cottages

Had a really relaxing and enjoyable stay. Thank you so much Nick and Vicky

Perfect getaway. Very clean and had everything you could possibly need and more. The treats left for us were a lovely touch but the toy and treats left for Teasel, our cocker spaniel, were very well received. Squeaky donkey is now her favourite toy. Alison was a very responsive host and answered our questions very quickly.

wardhall cottages is a perfect peaceful retreat. Great fire, laid and ready to light on arrival. Huge bath beautiful countryside with easy walks to a woodland with the dogs. Near to Cockermouth for shops and cafes and close to Allonby for beautiful beach walks and sunsets.

Had a great stay, lovely area, accommodation was perfect for us, would consider it again when visiting our favourite part of the world. Plus perfect host.

A beautiful cottage in the perfect location. 20-30 mins from every major place you could want to go. Cosy and homely with a lovely sunny garden. Private and secure, a real Norfolk countryside stay! We loved our stay, everything we needed was provided and Scott gave us all the information we needed to allow easy check in. We can’t wait to come back again, hopefully for longer next time. Thanks so much!

Lovely little cute place to stay. We loved it here and settled in quick

We had a wonderful time! The cottage was lovely and cosy and as described. It had everything we needed so we could cook our meals and included all the bedding as well. There was a lovely little outside space too which would have been wonderful in warm weather. Unfortunately when we stayed we were unable to use the fire due to crows nesting which was a shame, especially as it was very cold and windy for us, so it might be worth checking for anyone else if this is one of the main features that appealed like it did for ourselves. There was no local shops but Tenby was a short drive away with plenty of places to visit and lots of beaches nearby so the location was great. There is a local pub but only open Friday and Saturday evening. Sleeping arrangement was great as well but there is no door between the snug and the lounge so be aware if you have anyone sleeping on the sofa bed like we did. Overall a beautiful cottage in a great place, we’ll definitely be back.

Church Cottage is absolutely beautiful both from the outside, with a wonderful, sunny garden, and the inside, which is beautifully furnished and comfortable. There is a huge amount of space with the two sitting rooms, dining room and 4 bedrooms, and the whole place is extremely well equipped. There is even a second fridge, as well as a freezer, washing machine, dryer and microwave. We had a wonderful time sitting in the "snug" in the mornings before moving onto the sunny patio, and getting comfy in front of the fire in the living room in the evenings. It's a short walk to the coastal path and to the seal trips at the quay, and an easy drive to restaurants and pub in Wells or Blakeney. Sadly, the Anchor pub right by the cottage seems to have closed down. The steam train from Holt was also a fun thing to do. We can all thoroughly recommend this beatiful cottage. Louise sent really clear instructions about how to find it and was super helpful in all her communications. A great host!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Emma's place. The secure garden was great for our dog to roam whilst we relaxed in the hot tub at the end of the day following plenty of walking around the Lakes. The cottage itself has loads of character but everything you need for your stay. We were fortunate to have the weather to make use of the gas BBQ. Emma was very welcoming and chilled with the fact we had a good run up and arrived half an hour before check-in time. Nothing was too much trouble and the fresh eggs were delicious! The cottage is just a 10 minute drive from Windermere, (20 minutes to Ambleside, 30 minutes to Grizedale forest), so whilst it's not in the throng of all us tourists, we benefited from the peace and quiet when we wanted it, but nothing was too far away. We'd also highly recommend the fish and chip shop in Staveley, just a 4 minute drive down the road. Hopefully we'll be back!

What an amazing find! As a family of 3 with a 17-month old daughter, we had an amazing stay during our 4-nights Easter getaway. We came up to visit family who have recently moved to Norfolk & this was more than a perfect & relaxing base for us. A beautiful & quiet location as advertised - absolutely amazing setting with extensive grounds to walk & explore. We had everything that we could possibly need in terms of amenities. Our daughter absolutely loved seeing & stroking the dogs. The property was spotless upon arrival & it felt like home as soon as we walked through the door. Great little touches including some milk for a much needed cuppa after a long journey up. We had an amazing takeaway from the Indian restaurant round the corner and the Fish & Chips from neighbouring Blofield, are also a must! A very big thank you to Annette for everything - we will 100% be recommending you to friends/family and we will of course be rebooking for our next visits... thank you for having us!

Really lovely place with stunning scenery. Very well appointed with all amenities. Loved seeing Deer outside our bedroom window. Great to have dogs so well catered for. Highly recommend - we really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing stay. Host was very helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. Will definitely return.

It is a comfortable and clean home and very spacious. I felt welcomed and loved. Paula surprised us with some snacks and breakfast food. I really recommend it.

A lovely cottage in a great location, close to lots of places to visit. It is within walking distance of Traquair House, which is definitely worth a visit. Really well equipped and comfy. We enjoyed sitting out in the garden which is a sun trap. Hope to be back in the future.

What a beautiful cottage! Exactly like on the photos, very charming. Surroundings are stunning, hot tub was a treat. The kitchen is very well equipped with anything you might need. Beds were comfortable and cozy. The conservatory was great to just sit and play board games and have lovely meals, was nice and warm and toastie in there and the views!! Pauline’s communication and response times were excellent, very friendly and accommodating. All I would suggest, if possible is perhaps to think of some sort of covers/shelter from the cold/wind by the hot tub. It was very windy and we still wanted to enjoy the hot tub, but it got very cold whilst inside. Some sort of coverings will work a treat. Pauline suggested some great pubs and things to do in the area. All and all my friends and I had a lovely stay. Thanks Pauline!

Perfect cozy getaway with tasteful touches that made it feel like a treat to stay there. The cottage was gorgeous and had so many small touches that made you feel right at home and elevated the stay. We hope to come stay again, it was 10/10

Absolutely fantastic stay - do not hesitate to book! Tanya was incredibly communicative and welcoming - she even baked treats for our arrival. The cottage was private, cosy, and had everything you could possibly need (including Sky and a great toy box) and we instantly felt at home. The swimming pool facilities were super and timings really flexible, which made things so easy. Feeding and learning about the rare breed sheep with David was a real highlight too! Our five-year-old was in heaven between the trampoline, swings, swimming, visiting the sheep and even getting to walk Bibi the dog - there were a lot tears on departure. The area is full of great things to do, Tanya had some super suggestions in her welcome book and we’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
