Enjoy weekend breaks in holiday cottages, log cabins, apartments and other self-catering holiday lets in the UK, Ireland and certain European destinations.

Check-in time to your cottage or holiday let is usually after 4 pm, although this may vary depending on where you would like to stay. Cottage owners will provide you with details of arrival and departure times.

Because a weekend break is such a short period of time, some people prefer to book long weekend breaks over 3 nights, beginning on a Friday and leaving on a Sunday morning. This means taking just one day off work and preserving the majority of your leave for a summer holiday.

A weekend break usually also means not travelling too far, most of us would prefer a cottage within a 3 hour drive. at least you won't need to pack too many clothes for a 3 day break!

Take a look at  small one bedroom cottages that sleep just two people and are perfect for couples.
