HolidayCottages.co.uk has been connecting holidaymakers with hand-picked self-catering properties across the UK since 1989, and their North of England collection showcases some of the most scenic corners of the country. From the rugged Yorkshire Dales and the dramatic Northumberland coast to the tranquil Lake District fringes and the sweeping North York Moors, this range puts a cosy, inspected cottage right at the heart of your adventure. Whether you are planning a quiet retreat or an activity-packed break, there is a property here to suit.
Every cottage in the HolidayCottages.co.uk North of England portfolio is individually inspected before it joins their listings, ensuring a consistent standard of comfort and charm. The range spans everything from snug stone-built retreats ideal for two, to larger farmhouses and coastal properties that welcome the whole family. Pet-friendly options, accessible accommodation, and working farm cottages are all represented, meaning the collection caters for a genuinely wide variety of travellers and travel styles.
Staying in a North of England cottage places you within easy reach of some of England's most celebrated heritage and natural scenery. English Heritage sites, National Trust estates, and long stretches of unspoiled coastline are a short drive from most properties. Theme parks and family attractions provide entertainment for younger guests, while walkers and cyclists will find an almost limitless network of trails across the national parks and moorlands. The variety of the region is genuinely remarkable, offering a different holiday experience from one visit to the next.
The brochure highlights a broad spread of break types to help you find exactly the right match. Options featured include romantic getaways in secluded spots, family-friendly holidays by the beach or in the countryside, pet-friendly retreats where four-legged companions are warmly welcomed, and working farm cottages that offer a taste of rural life. Coastal retreats along the Northumberland and Yorkshire shorelines sit alongside accessible properties designed for guests with mobility requirements, rounding out a collection built around flexibility and choice.
The brochure focuses on the North of England, encompassing regions such as Yorkshire, Northumberland, Cumbria, County Durham, and the North East coastline. Properties span both rural countryside settings and coastal locations across this broad and varied part of the country.
