A discount may not be what you want though - you might want a cheap holiday cottage, but you might alternatively want a luxury or executive cottage or holiday home with all the extras that make relaxing at home so comfortable. Really, you can view this as a home from home!

If you want a short break in a holiday cottage then you need to think about logistics. When should you book your short break, and what do you need to bring with you, such as bedding, towels and kitchen implements like knives and forks. Short breaks could be one or 2 nights long and start on a Friday or Saturday, and end on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Your booking confirmation should come to you after you have booked your property and you need to know that your cottage is available for your holiday in plenty of time so you can book time off work. In particular if you want to rent privately owned properties around the UK then make sure you check out the layout and property so that in an emergency you can get out quickly and easily. Check for a fire extinguisher and fire blanket, and read the instructions on their use. If the property has open fires, make sure that you use the fireguard and check that the fire is safely out before you go to bed, and do not smoke in bed as this is extremely dangerous. If you are careful and play it safe though you can enjoy a fabulous holiday and pay less by avoiding agency booking fees.
