Bookings may be made for a duration of 2, 3, 4, 7, or 14 days (some cottage owners may choose not to offer the full range). Stays for 2, 3, and 4 nights are regarded as short stays. Stays of up to one month may be available for some cottages please phone cottages4you direct for more information.
Most weekly bookings run from Saturday to Saturday, unless the property indicates otherwise. Where accepted, 2 night breaks start on a Friday or Saturday, 3 night breaks on a Friday and 4 night midweek breaks start on a Monday.

Bookings for short stays that fall during a public holiday may only be made within 28 days of the public holiday. Bookings for 7 or 14 days where the stay dates include a public holiday may be made at any time. Click here for a list of public holiday dates in England, Wales and Northern Island.  



Also:

Short break bookings for peak times of Cottage occupancy cannot be made until 28 days prior to the Start Date of your stay. June, July, August, and early September are classed as peak times. The schools go back at different times depending on the area. That is why its such a long peak time.
