Many cottages have gardens where you can enjoy peace and privacy and do some well earned sun bathing as long as you use sun tan lotion to protect your skin. Can you play musical instruments when you go and stay in your cottage? Many people are keen pianists and need to know that they will have a piano waiting for them on arrival at their holiday cottage. 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. In a self-catering cottage you will find most of the standard appliances you would expect to have at home including a washing machine, fridge, freezer, tumble drier, microwave, iron and ironing board. A Welsh borders cottage is likely to be built from sturdy grey local stone, while a traditional holiday cottage in Scotland will be in a town or village, or maybe in the heart of the countryside, with magnificent views of mountains, valleys and lochs.
