(Area)

 
 

The links to Map will open a Google map showing the locality of the property

 

The links to Satellite will open a satellite view of the area around the property - particularly useful to view the country around the property. Is it on the beach front, surrounded by pasture, close to a major attraction, by the river, or close to a busy motorway? The satellite image may be of low quality in some remote areas.

 

The Route links will display a road map showing the route to the property from a major city with detailed instructions on the left side of the display.

 

You can print these maps out to take with you. We have taken every care to ensure that the location of the properties is accurate however we recommend that before you book a property you also check its physical location using the link named "Find this property on a map" in the main property details page that opens when you click either the Property Ref, or the picture of the property on this page.

Remember you can either go on and book a property on-line using the secure process provided by cottages4you, else you can make your booking by phoning cottages4you directly -  From within the UK call Cottages4you direct on their UK phone number: 0845 268 1458..

Occasionally a cottage may be removed from the database before we also remove it from this page - when that happens you will see a message "There was a problem processing your request" when you click the Property Reference or Picture on this page.

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.
