Why Choose Holiday Cottages by the Sea?
There really is something quite magical about staying in a holiday cottage by the sea, the rhythmic sound of the waves will help you to relax, and the fresh sea air can help those with allergies or other respiratory conditions. It’s even been said that listening to the ebb and flow of the waves naturally soothes and relaxes the brain. With over 1,500 beaches in the UK, you’re never too far from the coast, so finding the perfect seaside cottage should be easy! We list coastal holiday homes to suit a range of budgets from cheap beach chalets to luxury beach houses, most that are family friendly and allow dogs, with some benefiting from direct beach access and sea views.
