Look out for any steep drops in the garden and if there are garden sheds or outbuildings, ensure that children cannot get in them. Many people ask whether properties are suitable for disabled people, whether walking disabled, in a wheelchair needing access using a ramp or are severly disabled, and we often find that the suitability of a property for the disabled is indicated in the property description. Many country cottage properties welcome pets for a small additional charge per pet per week or short break, and you might do well to take your dog or cat rather than spend money on a kennel where your dogs might be unhappy, and your cats left feeling you don't love them.
Perfect Breaks | Country Cottages
If you want a house in the country sleeping 8 or more people you need to seriously think about all the accommodation details if you need to cater for a party that size. Parties of eleven or twelve are not that uncommon, although the selection of cottages in the UK that can sleep groups of that size is more limited. Is there a country pub nearby, a swimming pool, garden and washing machine? You to have a safe and happy holiday so a few minutes taking some simple precautions could make the difference between a holiday enjoyed and a holiday spoilt. In particular. Check 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. Please note that provision is made to accept guide dogs and service dogs at properties that do not normally allow pets.
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. When you arrive you will need a lot of guides to the local area and get your key which is probably hidden skilfully under the door mat, on the sill or under a flower pot. You should also pay a visit to the local branch of the tourist information service to get up to day information about local events, attractions, gardens, castles, country houses and fun fairs. 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.

If you are taking your car, motor home, cycles or MPV you need to make sure that parking arrangements are satisfactory. Maybe you need off street parking, and it is normal in the country side to find that off road parking is standard.
On a cottage holiday as soon as you climb into your car you can start your adventure. Your accommodation should be prepared and waiting for you, and as long as you have a map that gives you good directions showing how to get there it should be a breeze. Please note that provision is made to accept guide dogs and service dogs at properties that do not normally allow pets. Pets are welcome too, and if you take any other kind of holiday it could cost you a small fortune paying others to look after your pets while you are away. After all why leave them at home when they are one of the family? Many cottages accept pets and you can specify this as a requirement. Taking the safety and well being of holiday makers very seriously, properties need to be well maintained for your comfort and safety. Nevertheless, please remember that when you are in unfamiliar surroundings, you must take special care of yourself and your family.
