Durham Holiday Cottages

The range of accommodation available in the UK is impressive, and this not only allows holiday makers to choose from many alternatives, but also keeps the prices competitive. Often the most beautiful cottages can be found in the most unexpected places. Cottage holidays have a unique feel to them and there are more and more cottages available in Durham. Children enjoy staying in cottages even more than adults, because there's a huge sense of freedom that they just don't get in a hotel, staying with friends or even at home. The freedom to be able to come and go as you please, being able to cook your own food, or just being able to sleep in as long as you want.

There are many rental cottages in Durham that can accommodate you. We work with some of the best cottage operators and agencies in the UK and so if we don't have a suitable property, you may find it doesn't exist. When you are looking for the right holiday cottage in Durham, there are a few considerations to bear in mind. Understanding how many beds you need is often more important that any of the other facilities such as wi-fi. Before you book, be clear on how many people need separate beds as if you're travelling with friends, they may not be up for sharing double beds!

The best Durham properties have been operating for many years and have developed strong local reputations. If you have any concerns with your booking, please contact the cottage operator directly since we are unable to help. If you're travelling with a group of friends you may want to burn some energy and get outdoors, and there are several options in and around Durham. These can include mountain biking, swimming, road cycling, climbing, canoeing, flying kites, shooting - as well as tennis and golf. Or perhaps you're more interested in a pint of beer, a glass of wine or a gin and tonic in a traditional country pub?

One of the great benefits of cottage holidays in Durham is being able to self-cater, or at least do your own thing. It's a relief to be able to eat whatever you fancy, and any time of the day, and of course self-catering can include take-aways. If you're like the majority of people you are probably assuming you will travel to Durham by car. But have you considered taking a more environmentally sound approach, one that uses less carbon? Although most places are going to be out of reach by bicycle the UK train and coach network can get you very close.
