Why Book a Short Cottage Break in Britain?

The UK is home to thousands of holiday cottages, and many welcome short break bookings nowadays. 

Maybe you have less than a week available to take a mini break, and want to spend a few days exploring an area on a mid-week break or want to book a long weekend away?  2 night cottage breaks, 3 night or 4 night breaks can be a good option for mini holidays, particularly, if your budget is a little tight and you can only afford to go away for a short time or don't have that much annual leave available to use.  

If you're truly looking to relax and unwind on a short staycation holiday then a short hot tub cottage break could be the perfect choice and early booking is recommended.  Weekend cottage breaks with hot tubs are another popular choice.
