Self catering cottage holidays
With the current pound/euro exchange rate a self-catering holiday in England is now better value for money than ever.
Self-catering is superb value for money as you can choose from properties close to the beach where the kids can enjoy playing in the sand, or stay on a working farm where they can enjoy a pony ride, feed the animals and collect their very own eggs – all of which doesn’t cost a penny!
