About Beach Stays
Beach Stays brings together a handpicked collection of beach holiday homes across the UK and Ireland. From cosy coastal cottages to spacious beachfront houses, we’ve gathered the best self-catering stays from trusted letting agents and independent owners – all in one easy place.
Finding Your Perfect Coastal Holiday
Whether you’re planning a family holiday in Cornwall, a short break on the Norfolk coast or a week exploring the beaches of Northumberland, Beach Stays offers a wide choice of self-catering accommodation.
Our collection includes beach cottages, dog-friendly properties, holiday homes with hot tubs, and larger coastal cottages for families and groups.
Alongside our accommodation listings, we publish guides to UK beaches, seaside towns, coastal walks and local attractions. These articles help visitors learn more about destinations before choosing where to stay.
Who’s Behind Beach Stays?
Beach Stays was founded by Mark Hutchins, a lifelong beach lover with a passion for the UK coastline and its wonderful variety of seaside holiday homes.
Mark operates both Beach Stays and its sister website, Beachlets with his wife Sophia, bringing together a wide selection of coastal holiday properties across the UK.
Through the two websites, Mark helps visitors find their ideal seaside accommodation while researching and writing articles about beaches, coastal towns, local attractions and tips for dog owners.
You can explore these guides and discover more about the UK’s coastline in our Beach Stays blog.
Mark also contributes commentary and insights on UK coastal holidays for travel and lifestyle publications.
How Beach Stays Works
Beach Stays is an independent holiday accommodation directory, rather than a booking agency.
When you find somewhere you like, simply select Check Rates below the calendar on a property page to visit the provider’s website where you can view current prices and complete your booking.
Bookings, payments and any subsequent arrangements are handled directly by the accommodation provider.
If you book a property through one of our accommodation providers we may receive a small commission which is not added to your booking.
Our aim is to make it easy to find top quality coastal holiday accommodation so you can explore the UK’s beaches, towns and seaside attractions.
