Enjoy a domestic luxury cottage break
It seems there has never been a better time to have a break within the UK. The economic downturn has lasted longer than most predicted, meaning less disposable income and more caution in terms of spending your hard-earned cash. The other major factor here is that people are becoming ever more aware of their carbon footprint. In light of these two factors, it seems that we are progressively looking to our own shores for a short holiday.
Of course, a holiday is good for the soul, so it’s really important that you still manage to get away even if it is for a shorter time and within the UK. There is so much to see that you may have previously overlooked. Even domestic weekend breaks can offer the rest and rejuvenation that you may need.
So, if you are considering taking a break around the UK, why not rent one of the multitude of beautiful holiday cottages around the country? You are spoilt for choice in terms of locations and, regardless of the weather, you can have a break to remember. It’s hard to know where to start in terms of location suggestions, but one of the lesser-travelled beauty spots in England is Norfolk. It is a gem that is slowly being unearthed by holidaymakers who realise that it compares well with any other countryside and coastal break in the country but, because it’s a lesser-known destination, you are also likely to find that the prices are lower than many similar alternatives.
With the Norfolk Broads and the coast in close proximity, there is no shortage of breathtaking walks to enjoy. The wildlife on the Broads is particularly rich, with bird watching prevalent in the area. On the coast you can enjoy similar beauty and also get involved in the many water sports that the perfect winds afford.
Elsewhere, the city of Norwich offers great dining and all the entertainment offerings of a big city, but with stunning rural areas only a stone’s throw away. There is also a great range of accommodation in the surrounding area.
You can, for example, enjoy luxury self catering cottages in Norfolk for very reasonable rates. One such example is the Garden Cottage in Wellingham, which is located within the grounds of a beautiful farm. A short walk through fields abounding in roses will lead you to a 13th Century church, which appears to have been unaffected by the passage of time.
The cottage itself has original features, four poster beds and rooms that open onto stunning countryside views. There are so many other examples, but if you go with certain respected companies you will find great amenities such as swimming pools and fishing lakes that are included as part of the package. Look out for cottages in places such as Cromer, Blackeney and Brancaster. These are just a few of the special locations in which to stay in this beautiful and sleepy county.
It’s important to do lots of research to find the deal that is just right for you. You will find that you no longer have to spend an arm and a leg in order to get that feeling that you’ve really had a break from it all and pampered yourself for a few days. A luxury cottage in England is so hassle-free and easy to get to that you may find that you never want to leave the country for a holiday again.
