Somerset

Somerset is best explored slowly, so the hundreds of beautiful sites, stunning views and inspiring natural phenomenon do not pass you by. This is a county where riding holidays, walking holidays and mountain biking tours thrive. The hidden haunts of Exmoor are a paradise for walkers, offering ancient oak woodlands, plunging valleys and charming villages.

The Suffolk Coast is a huge draw to self catering holiday accommodation in Suffolk. There are over 40 miles of Heritage Coast in Suffolk, plenty of charming seaside resorts and numerous sandy beaches on which to sunbathe, build sandcastles and swim. The Suffolk coast is also one of the most natural, with plenty of rare British wildlife seen in the area with reassuring regularity.

St-Ives

From Stunning Contemporary family holiday homes, semi-detached or detached beach houses, to newly refurbished, self catering holiday homes, secluded holiday bungalows and luxury high specification holiday Apartments or holiday cottages in Cornwall, or Kernow as it is known in Cornish, are blessed with striking wild terrain, both across it’s wild moorland and its varied, dramatic coastline littered with charming fishing and mining villages. Many of the self catering holiday cottages in Cornwall or self catering holidays are in cozy traditional stone houses, with open fire places and views over the coast. Cornwall has a rich heritage of vibrant folk music, and many unusual traditions remain, like the Furry Dance and Mummers Plays. Also, Cornwall’s native sports of hurling and Cornish wrestling are great spectator sports, and can be seen at St Ives or St Columb Major.

One of Cornwall’s best assets is the coast. There are many holiday cottages in Cornwall in easy access of the sea and beaches, which can become crowded in summer, although a little exploring will undoubtedly land you in a tiny, deserted cove beach. The sailing and surfing here are notable, and rock climbing on coastal cliffs is becoming a popular activity.

Wales

A newly refurbished, modernist farmhouse in Pen-y-Clip is set on the hillside overlooking the Menai Strait with views across to the Snowdonia Mountain Range.  Wales - a country often overlooked as a holiday destination for holiday makers offers a staggering amount. It is a truly beautiful place, and not just the rugged coastlines, sheer mountains and lush valleys, but the culture, tranquillity and pace of life too.

Pen y Clip is perfectly placed as a base for exploring not only Menai Bridge, but the whole region: from the Snowdonia National Park to Anglesey's great variety of beaches and those of the Llyn Peninsula. Being less than five minutes off the main A55 expressway Pen y Clip is easily accessible, but feels a world away from the stresses of everyday life.  What follows is just a taste of what Pen y Clip has to offer.

Snowdonia is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Snowdonia National Park is known as one of the most beautiful in Britain, and includes both mountains and coastline. It is also an area famed for the number and nature of outdoor activities on offer. A Welsh holiday cottage in Snowdonia will certainly not allow you simply to sit and enjoy the view!

Oxford

Oxfordshire is a delightfully quaint part of the English countryside, steeped in history and festooned with picturesque scenes worthy of any decorative chocolate box! There seem to be two sides to Oxfordshire holidays; firstly, holidays taking advantage of the incredible rural beauty, whether by travelling slowly through it or simply immersing yourself in the warmth of the local community, or secondly, Oxford holidays sightseeing in the county’s capital city, where many centuries of history are brought to life.
