Home to miles and miles of award winning Blue Flag beaches, the South West of England attracts visitors from far and wide to its sandy shores. With so much centering on and around the harbors and seafront, most holidaymakers prefer renting self-catering beach cottages; placing them close to the beach, restaurants, shops and amenities. Below we list a fantastic selection of South West beach cottages that can be hired direct with the property owner or their preferred agent, many of which can be booked online. The pick of the bunch are obviously the beachfront cottages, but most of the Cornwall and Devon cottages on the beach are within 300m of the nearest sandy strip so you won’t have far to go for that early morning swim or to take your dog for a walk. If you are travelling with your dog there are plenty of pet friendly cottages to rent, from cosy little cottages for couples ranging right up to great big beach houses for group accommodation or families with children who prefer a bit of extra space. Enjoy browsing the cottages below; if you look hard enough you’re sure to find something to suit your budget and group size. If space is not that important to you then you may like to check out the Devon and Cornwall apartments listed on Beachlets, many boasting sea views and direct beach access.
