Why not take a holiday or short break in an English country cottage?

For more than 20 years we have been helping our guests find their ideal 'Cottage in the Country' holiday...why not try us too!

Whether you want a cottage for a short break, a weekend, a country holiday, a farm stay holiday or a cottage in the middle of Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford or perhaps Windsor, we can help. We have contemporary cottages, luxury barn conversions, classic and traditional cottages, single storey houses and a 19th century property with swimming pool and tennis court. All equipped for modern day living so you really can enjoy being 'home from home'!

We have a great choice of cottages in the Cotswolds in villages such as Stow, Bourton-on-the-Water or near Cirencester. There are a select few in Worcestershire and Herefordshire from quirky 'Swallows Return' to a stunning 5 star cottage near Worcester. To the east of our region we have self-catering holiday cottages in Oxfordshire, Royal Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and a snippet in Hertfordshire.

From your 'own' front door you can explore the Cotswolds or the contrasts of Herefordshire & Shropshire. Visit the theatres at Stratford-upon-Avon, enjoy the atmospheric Chiltern Hills, walk The Ridgeway Path or take in the pretty Thames-side towns and villages that stretch across the counties. For serious shoppers we have some excellent retail parks, outlet centres or local markets. Something for everyone springs to mind!!

Pets are welcome at many of our cottages. We have some wonderful walks in the region that your pet will love so why not bring him too as we have a great selection of pet-friendly properties.

Take a self-catering holiday at any time of year and you have a choice...be as busy or as relaxed as you like!

The village is beautiful and in a good location for visiting other villages, towns and for some great walks.
