Holiday accommodation with character

If character cottages, old oak beams, huge inglenook fireplaces and four poster beds gladden your heart, then you would love to book one of these magnificent period holiday homes.

Many of the holiday cottages shown on this page are centuries old buildings that have evolved through the decades and yet still retain the beautiful features of yesteryear.  All will have been modernised tastefully to incorporate the latest functionality in an ancient design.  You may find WiFi in a 16th Century cottage in Suffolk or a top-of-the-range refrigerator concealed behind historic panelling in a kitchen.

There will be four poster beds galore, period fittings and beaitiful antique furniture to keep you entranced for days during your holiday. Enjoy a touch of nostalgia and rediscover the past on holiday in Britain.
