So where would you like to spend your next vacation? In a luxurious seaside villa that helps you enjoy the infinity of the cosmic coast, spacious apartments that house state-of-the-art facilities or cheap bed and breakfast inns with the style and sophistication of exorbitant holiday homes.

While those keen on enjoying sheer bucolic bliss in peaceful and tranquil villages are sure to use all their resources in hiring farmhouses and log cabins, dog-friendly rental cottages created from farm barns arrest the attention of pet lovers regardless of their costs.

But if you are planning to take a short break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life or even spend a few treasured moments during special occasions like New Year, anniversaries or birthdays in England, Scotland or Wales, then you are sure to discard the dizzying assortment of lodging options in favour of large holiday cottages for hire.

A fleeting vacation, weekend birthday bash or a celebration of life with close friends and family in charismatic UK - there is a cottage waiting to let you in and explore its enigmatic interiors at simply unimaginable prices.

In England, New Forest, Yorkshire, Lake District, Northumberland National Park and Peak District cottages help you connect with the lush countryside and experience the blissfully idyllic lifestyle in quaint little hamlets. And all this without losing touch with the roar and tumult of blue-chip cities.

If you thought Scotland was only about wines and men in skirts, you better think again. The country that boasts of a tremendous historical heft is often described as a phenomenon, rather than a tourist hot-spot. And these cottages help you explore fascinating realms of its historical landscape. The majestic castles, lochs and glens, and bustling cities can be experienced from cottages in Loch Lomond, Trossachs and Cairngorms National Park, among scores of other intriguing destinations.

Wales is another picturesque location that helps you enjoy the splendid natural beauty of Brecon Beacons, Gower Peninsular and Snowdonia national park. That is of course, in addition to soaking in the stupendous, unbridled luxury and comfort of self-catering holiday cottages.

Welcome Aboard

So what makes these luxurious holiday cottages with breathtaking views so endearing? Is it the old-world charm that the architectural features exude or does the unparalled hospitality have more than just a token import on the minds of the tourists? Actually, it's a soul-stirring combination of impeccably maintained exteriors and lavishly decorated interior spaces.

Here's how these accommodations make your journey a blessed victory:

· The traditional architecture of these country cottages lends a charm to the place that is both rare and exceptionally distinct. The warm tone of red bricks has an inviting and soothing appeal to it.

· It's just not the ample parking area near the cottages that gives you an idea of the true luxury of space. The exclusive access to the river in case of riverside locations ensures that much-sought after coastal accommodations disappear off your radar instantly.

· But if you are keen to watch the glorious sunsets, then sea-side holiday cottages right on the harbour overlooking pristine sandy beaches are perfect.

· The enclosed garden courtyard helps you unwind with complete privacy.

· Step inside, and you are treated to decor and furnishings that are unsurpassed in every sense of the word. High-quality fittings and fixtures reinforce the feeling of extravagance and style.

· If comfort is your credo, then these cottages are the brand ambassador extraordinaire. Most of them are equipped with every conceivable amenity like televisions, washing machines, iron with ironing boards, vacuum cleaners, refrigerator, electric heaters, pay phone and duvets. Central heating and log fires also form an intrinsic part of the invitingly comfortable interiors.

· Cooking gas, hot water, heating, electricity and linen form part of the holiday hire charges.

An erstwhile farmhouse passionately converted into a self catering Suffolk holiday cottage or a beautifully renovated rural period cottage in the heart of Somerset, you can expect a perfect home away from home.

More Than Just Matchless Magnificence

But there's more to these stylish cottages than stunning views and awesome woodland locations. Nature lovers are sure to be completely ecstatic at the mere thought of entering into a conversation with the diverse flora and fauna all around. You could even spend time biking, horse riding and golfing. But history geeks are sure to be quite a happy bunch, especially in majestic cities like Bournemouth, Winchester, Salisbury and Winchester.

So how does one connect to the dizzying array of holiday cottages? Simple, it takes just a few clicks to search for properties whether in Kent, Norfolk or Devon; sizzling summer retreats in Dorset and Cornwall and late availability offers in Cotswolds.
