Self Catering Holidays

The word self-catering can best be defined as providing lodging and cooking facilities but not meals. Spending self catering holidays or holidaying in self catering cottages is very popular in many parts of Europe and UK specially England, Scotland, France, Spain and Italy.

For families or groups of friends, the cost of renting a self-catering accommodation is almost always substantially cheaper than staying in a hotel or bed and breakfast establishment. If you are willing to "self-cater" - in other words do your own cooking and tidying up - you are likely to enjoy attractive locations, more beautiful views and more comfortable surroundings than you might if spending the equivalent amount on hotels, bed and breakfasts or guest houses.

How much you save on self catering holidays depends upon how many people are in your group and how large an accommodation you choose. Most holiday rental properties are available for short breaks, either in or out of season, and are rarely available for single night stays.

At the luxury end of the market many self catering holiday homes or self catering cottages will be in a desirable environment, be much larger than standard and have a number of luxury features such as nicer furniture, private swimming pool and maybe even a games room.
