Thinking about a coastal getaway? It's more than just a break; it's a chance to recharge. Consider us your go-to guide as you search for that perfect spot. Whether you crave solitude or family fun, there's a coastal cottage retreat waiting for you. This blog post will share the things to consider when choosing the right one for you and list five of our top picks for your next UK staycation.
Location, location, location
When choosing a coastal cottage for your staycation, think about where it is. Look for places by the water, where you can wake up to sea views and stroll straight onto the beach. Whether you're into Cornwall's craggy cliffs, Devon's sandy stretches, or the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands, the coast is your oyster.Charm and character
A coastal cottage isn't just a place to rest your head; it's a retreat bursting with British quintessential charm. Look for properties with quaint features, unique touches and a beachy aesthetic. Every little touch, like weathered shingles and driftwood accents, should tell stories of seaside adventures.
Space matters
Think about how big your coastal home needs to be, especially if you're arriving with family or friends. Look for cottages with lots of bedrooms and cosy corners where everyone can unwind after a day of exploring. Having enough room to spread out and relax makes your coastal escape special.
Amenities galore
Make sure your coastal cottage comes equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. Think fully stocked kitchens for whipping up seafood feasts to warm fireplaces for snuggling up on chilly evenings. Don't forget to check for outdoor spaces where you can bask in the sun or enjoy a meal alfresco.
Family-friendly fun
If you're travelling with little ones, look for coastal cottages that cater to families. Child-friendly amenities such as high chairs, cots, and games rooms can make all the difference, ensuring your staycation is as stress-free as it is memorable.
Seaside serenity
Embrace the tranquillity of coastal living by choosing a cottage off the beaten path. Look for hidden hideaways where the only sounds you'll hear are the gentle lapping of waves and the cry of seagulls overhead. It's your chance to ditch the chaos of everyday life and soak in the beauty of the coast.
