English country cottages and houses to rent for a relaxing holiday in England

English Country Cottages , Bluebells in MayOur poets waxed lyrical about the beauty of the English countryside and most of it is  still there for all of us to appreciate and enjoy.  I have beautiful memories of the   golden corn fields with bright red poppies and blue cornflowers of my childhood...  now is the time to gather memories to treasure in years to come.

There is absolutely nothing quite like bluebell woods in early May with their sweetly scented carpets of blue.

You will find cottages, houses and apartments of all regional types, both old and modern, some built of the local stone, or with thatched roofs, others with exposed oak beams and log fires, but all with a warm welcome at any time of year.
