Unusual and Unique Holiday Cottages.

So when you think of a cottage that has unusual, unique and quirky features, what do you look for.  Perhaps it’s the cottage location, from wild and remote to being perched over a lake or perhaps it is the cottages decoration and facilities, from an indoor spa pool to a hot tub with glorious views.  The challenge for you will be deciding which cottage to choose.

Some of the most visited cottages can be found in Cornwall.  Cornwall with its wonderful beaches and good weather is steeped in folk lore and legends, so it’s no surprise that there is a vast choice for unique holiday cottages.

Colhay Studio is a luxurious cottage for two providing a peaceful and relaxing retreat in a unique and unusual way.  With lovely gardens with water features and furniture, a woodburner for cooler nights and your four legged friend can go to, you can’t ask for more.

Northumberland is a close second for our popular destinations.  With miles of unspoilt beaches and countryside, stunning castles and magnificent coastal villages.

Across the causeway from Northumberland is Holy Island.  When staying in Lee Cottage you will be able to experience total peace and tranquillity as the island is cut off from the mainland twice a day by the incoming tide.  Staying in this grade II listed fisherman’s cottage you can explore the charming island and all of its delights and cross the causeway to discover the further delights of Northumberland.
