Looking to Book a Summer Break?
Summer is peak season for UK holiday cottages and booking well in advance is advisable for the best choice of holiday homes. If you don’t have kids or have grown up children, you may want to book holiday accommodation for outside of the school summer holidays to avoid peak season where prices tend to be higher.

The Autumn months of September, October and November can be ideal for pre-Christmas breaks and can often be ideal for bagging a bargain. This time of year, outside of peak season, some owners will discount their accommodation. With Autumn weather becoming milder in recent years and sunny Autumn days being great for enjoying the outdoors and exploring, Autumn is the new summer for some holidaymakers.
