All about English Country Cottages to rent

English Country Cottages was established thirty years ago with a simple aim: to provide superior cottages to rent, in all the best parts of the country. Today, that's still exactly what we do – only now we do a lot more of it! We have over 3000 stunning cottages and holiday homes on our books; from romantic seaside retreats to majestic country lodges, in breathtaking locations, stretching from the rolling Suffolk shore to rocky Welsh cliffs.

We believe that the ingredients for a truly memorable cottage holiday are simple: a stylish and well-equipped home in a fabulous spot, where the mobile signal might be patchy but the sunsets are sublime, and where you feel at home the minute you walk through the door. We believe that you won't beat the high quality of the available cottages to rent, the expertise and commitment of our staff or the wide choice of stunning locations – and we know that, once you've enjoyed an English Country Cottage holiday, you'll want to come back again and again.

So, if you share our passion for perfection, experiencing in style all that the countryside has to offer, and you want a holiday you'll remember for years to come, then we think you'll find what you need right here.

Find your own special place.

We really believe that an English cottage (or for that matter a Scottish or Welsh cottage holiday), with such a wealth of history, culture and breathtaking landscapes, will offer everything you need for the most amazing holiday. This is why we have covered the countryside, from Pembrokeshire to the Wash, from Hadrian's Wall to Lizard Point, with beautiful homes and cottages to rent for you to enjoy and explore from.

However you like to get away from it all, you'll find your perfect spot right on the doorstep of one of our cottages. Ruined abbeys, commanding stunning views along the Yorkshire Dales; skies that go on forever, stretching over peaceful Norfolk beaches; caves and rivers, mountains and meadows; take some time to discover your own special place.

However you like to be 'beside the sea' – whether on golden sands, pebbly beaches, marshland reserves or rocky cliff-top walks – it's never far away, among some of the most beautiful and varied coastline in Europe. On this website, you'll find hundreds of fantastic cottages for rent within easy reach of the coast, many with stunning views. It's hard to beat the tang of salty sea air in the nostrils after a week at work in the city – so why not book a short break by the sea, and unwind with a glass of wine and someone special, watching the sun go down over the dunes?
