Before booking your next beach holiday cottage, it’s best to know everything from when to visit and what to do. Luckily enough, we’ve got you covered! Keep reading to learn more about our beach cottages to rent and how to make the most out of your getaway!
Deciding on the best time to enjoy a beach holiday, ultimately comes down to where you want to go. The weather can vary throughout the UK, so it's best to plan accordingly so that you can make the most of the great outdoors and sandy shores.
Summer beach holidays tend to be the most popular in the UK. This is when the weather is at its warmest, with plenty of sunshine and more daylight hours. A trip to places like Cornwall or Devon in the south is great during this time. Enjoy some time lounging on the sandy shores, or even take a dip in the sea if the temperatures are particularly warm!
A beach getaway in spring is perfect for those who want to hike or bike along coastal paths. With cooler temperatures and a gentle breeze, this makes for great weather for anyone seeking an active break. North Wales, Pembrokeshire and Dorset are great places to visit in spring. With warmer temperatures and a plethora of walking routes, there’s something for all types of adventurers during this time.
Winter is perfect for anyone seeking a cosy coastal getaway. Wrap up warm as you stroll along the beach and waves crash against the shore. With fewer tourists, this provides an ideal time of year to stay by the sea without the hustle and bustle of crowds. If you prefer to get comfy indoors, light the fire and watch as the fierce swells roll onto shore, all from the comfort of your holiday cottage.
Whatever the time of year, a cottage by the beach holds immense appeal and with the sea nearby you can have hours of endless 'free' fun without having to spend a penny or travel too far. Enjoy breakfast on the coast first thing in the morning before the crowds arrive, or a BBQ at the end of the day as the sun goes down.

Whether you are seeking a tranquil seaside retreat away from the crowds or fancy the bright lights and some good old-fashioned traditional seaside fun, we have plenty of self-catering holiday cottages to rent close to a beach to suit all budgets.
Many beaches operate dog bans throughout the summer months. Make sure you find out if there are any dog restrictions on local beaches if you are taking your four-legged friend to one of our dog friendly cottages with you. Pack your beach towels before you set off on holiday, as many cottage owners only provide towels for use inside the cottage.
Establish how far away the property is from the beach before booking, and check if it is accessible by foot or car. Find out if local beaches are pebble or sand if this is important to you.
Book early to avoid disappointment, as seaside retreats get booked up quickly. If you are holidaying on a budget, consider booking a break in self-catering coastal cottages outside the peak summer months, when you have a greater choice of properties available and larger savings to be made. Finally, don't forget your sun tan lotion, windbreak, bucket and spade, and enjoy your next coastal holiday!
