Nothing beats a fine summer’s evening with the smell of a charcoal grill wafting in the air. Whether it’s a family BBQ, a picnic on the lawn or a romantic moonlit dinner, we have more than 200 cottages equipped for al fresco dining.
From seaside cottages with bbqs in Devon to tree houses with fire pits in the Malverns, you won’t find backdrops like ours at any restaurant. For afters, roast marshmallows over an open fire or raise a glass to your holiday in your very own hot tub.
Why not take a seat and let somebody else do the cooking? Ask our Guest Services team about food hampers and private chef experiences.
In need of a secure garden for your dog to roam in while you dine? See our dog-friendly cottages.
Don’t waste a moment with those sea views – start the day with breakfast on the balcony, the sea air filling your nostrils, and round it off with a sunset dinner. One of the best things about self-catering is having the freedom to eat as, when and where you please, so make the most of it with a cottage that has outdoor seating and a bbq.
We have seaside cottages scattered across Britain’s coasts, from Kent to Cornwall, the Isle of Wight to Devon, and Lancashire to Norfolk. Find beach houses which back right onto the sand or cottage stays a little further back, nestled in the hinterland surrounded by trees and rolling hills, but with the sea still in sight.
Look out for cottages with secure gardens if you have little ones with you, or indeed a dog who is known to get into mischief.
When you’re planning a holiday for a big group, it’s not always easy to find restaurants and bars that can accommodate you – or if they can, it can feel as though you’re separated and not free to move around and mingle.
Whether you’re planning a hen weekend, corporate retreat or big family reunion, dining at the cottage, be it inside or out, is much more relaxed and means your party can stay in its own bubble.
Browse our growing collection of large cottages and super luxury stays around the UK to find plush outdoor seating and fire pits for drinks and nibbles, and outdoor tables and chairs for al fresco feasts. You will also find bars, games rooms, hot tubs and even swimming pools at lots of our larger properties, perfect for bringing everybody together whatever the occasion.
