Short Breaks are accepted at many of our UK properties and can be booked online. Start days for short breaks are always on a thursday and available start days will be displayed on the availability and pricing page.
The Duration for weekend breaks is 4 nights.

Short Breaks may be booked at any time in advance, except for the following times of the year, when they are not available:

Peak Summer Months ( end July and August).

It is not possible for us to undertake detailed internet searches and provide details by e-mail. Due to the constantly changing nature of holiday bookings, a property that is available now may not be available by the time you are able to read our email.

Instead, we always recommend that you use our website which is completely up to date with photos, descriptions, prices and most importantly availability.

There are 3 ways to search:

1) Quick Search (on the homepage) - this allows you to browse regions and countries based upon the size of property you require. It is an ideal way to search if your holiday dates are flexible

2) Availability Search - You can stipulate the finer details of your holiday with this search. Choose your holiday dates, preferred region, what features you require and the website will show you all the relevant properties.

3) Property Reference Search - Once you have a shortlist of properties, you can enter any reference number into the Property Reference search box (on the homepage) to view its details, photos and availability.

Once you have found a suitable property, you can complete the whole booking process online. Simply click on the button "Check Availability and Prices" on the property details page, confirm your holiday dates and proceed to book securely online. Your booking will be confirmed by e-mail.

If you would prefer more assistance with your search, please call our sales advisors who will be happy to help. (see contact details)

Extra people/infants - If additional adults, children or infants wish to come on holiday with you, then you can amend your booking by using the "Contact Us" section of the site. The party size must, however, remain within the number of people (including infants and children) that the property clearly states it can safely accommodate.

Extra Pets - There are 3 categories used by properties that welcome pets.

     1) 1 Pet welcome
     2) 2 Pets welcome
     3) Pets welcome The first two options are self explanatory, the third means that you can normally take up to 3 pets to the property.

There are three ways to search:

• Property reference - If you are familiar with the cottages that we offer, or have been to the site before, you may want to find a specific property. This allows you to enter the property reference and go straight to those details.
  
  
• Quick search - allows you to browse properties before selecting a date when they are available.
  
  
• Availability search - allows you find a cottage that is available on the dates that you require. You can make this search and simple or complex as you by selecting you cottage requirements such as the number of bedrooms or having a pub nearby!

All properties on the website have defined start dates. The website itself will guide you to choose the correct start date for each property. Friday and Saturday are the standard start days for most weekly bookings.

Where short breaks are accepted, the website will show the relevant start days for the duration you are seeking.

The holiday season availability information that the website uses has date boundaries. If you wish to arrange a holiday for dates fall outside of the website calendar, please call us, (see contact details)
