Holiday by the Lakeside

If you like the idea of gazing out over still calm waters on holiday, then renting a lakeside lodge or a cottage by a lake could be the perfect choice.  There are some truly lovely developments around in the UK, with lodges arranged around lakes so you can wake up to lake views day after day on holiday or sit out and gaze out over the water on holiday.  It’s even possible to enjoy a spot of fishing or boating on some lakes for more fun and relaxation on a break away.

Take a Break by the River

Another popular choice with holidaymakers who want to stay by the waterside, are rentals by a riverside or a stream.  Again, this can be a really tranquil option, which can help you relax and unwind on holiday by the riverbank.  Whether you just want to listen to the soothing sound of the river or stream trickle by, or want to enjoy a spot of canoeing or fishing, get in touch with owners to find out what activities you can enjoy by the riverside in your chosen holiday cottage, houseboat or riverbank retreat.

Escape to the Seaside

With the feel good factor of the healing ocean air and the associated serotonin boost, it’s easy to understand why so many holidaymakers choose to holiday by the seaside.   Holidaying by the shore, it turns out, is actually really good for our health and our mood.  Stay by the beach or book a cliffside holiday home for incredible views.  For even more of a boost, why not book a beach front holiday cottage with sea views to really lift your spirits?

•    Seaside Holiday Cottages

There's something so refreshing about waking up to waterside views on holiday, it's good for the soul.  Whether it's starting the day with a warming coffee whilst watching ducks happily play on a lake or watching the reflections on the sea as the sunsets, make special memories with a break in a cottage by a lake, loch, river or stream.
