English country cottages offer an unrivalled sense of seclusion, peace and beauty, as well as some of the finest outdoor activity locations in Europe. Walking, fishing and golf holidays thrive in England, and details of the finest sporting locations to take an English country cottage are readily available from the English Tourist Board. Your choice of English beach holiday destination is amazingly wide too. The surfing beaches of Cornwall and the sailing hotspots of the south coast are particularly popular destinations to take an English cottage, whist the secluded beaches of the east of England and the pleasure beach at Blackpool attract many holiday makers each year.

England is a country of extraordinary history and internationally renowned culture too. Liverpool, the 2008 European City of Culture, and London both thrive on culture, although there are destinations around the country in which to take an English house for culture, from Glyndebourne to Stratford. Whatever you are looking for from an English holiday, Holiday-Rentals.co.uk can help you find the ideal English cottage in which to stay.
