Best Coastal Cottages & Beach Houses

The UK is home to some of the best beaches in Europe and offers a huge selection of high quality coastal cottages for rent, many situated directly opposite Blue Flag beaches enjoying uninterrupted sea views and direct beach access. What better way to spend your downtime with family or friends than visiting one of the hundreds of scenic coastal towns that offer not just affordable self-catering cottages for hire but also a host of outdoor activities, top quality restaurants, shops and pubs.

From Ireland and Scotland in the North to Cornwall and Devon in the South, you’ll find a fabulous collection of beachside cottages ranging from budget one bedroom apartments in Yorkshire, to luxury cottages with hot tubs in Wales, most of which are just a stone’s throw from a sandy beach. If you are travelling with your dog then Norfolk and Northumberland are an attractive option as they offer miles of dog friendly beaches, perfect for exercising your hound.

 

Seaside Cottages with Sea Views

Families looking for Blue Flag beaches should check out the collection of Sussex beach houses and lodges in Kent as many are family friendly and within easy reach of amenities including cafes, restaurants and shops. For a five star break you can look through the impressive collection of Sandbanks cottages in Dorset, one of the most exclusive destinations for UK coastal breaks. If you’ve decided to head to the South West for your beach holiday then it’s hard to look past Newquay or St Ives, one offering great surf and beachfront apartments, with the latter home to high end cottages by the sea with hot tubs and sea views. If you want to feel a bit more exotic and detached from the mainland, then the Isle of Wight is home to a wonderful collection of beachside holiday homes for families or friends, many that enjoy sea views.

One of the great things about staying in coastal cottages on the beach is that in most cases you won’t need the use of a car as many of these holiday homes are just a short walk to the sand, with some located right on the beachfront. And whether it’s just you and your partner planning a romantic short break or a large group of friends organising a special event, the list of holiday cottages by the sea advertised with us range from one bedroom cottages right up to cottages that sleep twenty.

 

Luxury Coastal Cottages on the Beach

You’ll find sea view cottages, luxury beach houses and quirky beach chalets nestled behind sand dunes, all of which are managed by their owner or a professional agent. As far as features are concerned there is an exciting selection of beach cottages with hot tubs as well as plenty that are happy to accept dogs. And regardless of your budget we list everything from cheap coastal cottages to five star beachside bungalows.
