Self Catering

Sometimes you just want to do your own thing. You’ll miss the breakfast buffet because you’ve got a hot air balloon flight to catch before sunrise. Or you’re a keen amateur chef and need a kitchen where you can experiment with all the fresh, seasonal ingredients you’ve picked up along the Great West Way.

That’s where self catering accommodation comes in. Although there are places you can rent for a night or two, this option is even better when you’re staying for a week or more. Then you can really settle in, and make whatever base you choose your own. You can also get a good feel for the local way of life, especially if you opt for self catering options in more rural or residential areas.

Holiday cottages and apartment rentals are both very popular, suitable for a whole variety of trips. A holiday cottage in the countryside could be an idyllic writing retreat for one, or a bustling base for a big family holiday. An apartment in the city could be a social hub for a holiday with friends, or a romantic crash pad for a couples city break. Self catering accommodation is whatever you want to make of it.

Along the touring route you’ll find fun, functional, beautiful and bold self catering accommodation in just the right locations. Arty penthouse apartments within walking distance of museums and galleries. Historic hideaways in the luscious, flower-filled grounds of stately homes. Even entire castles where you can survey the surrounding countryside as if you were king or queen of all the land. The only danger is that you’ll get too comfortable - and conveniently ‘forget’ to pack up and go home.
