Self-catering accommodation

What is self-catering accommodation?

Self-catering accommodation usually comes in the form of an apartment or house for the real ‘home away from home’ experience. Usually, you’ll have the run of the place, so you can live as you usually do, but in your new surroundings. Meet your neighbours at the local shops, markets, and nearby farms that sell eggs and other local produce. You’ll get a real insight into the British way of life as well as priceless local knowledge.

How much does it cost to stay in self-catering accommodation?

Self-catering accommodation prices vary depending on the type of accommodation (serviced apartment to country farm), location, length of stay and number of people. Please contact the accommodation provider directly for price enquiries.

What facilities does self-catering accommodation provide?

Facilities will differ depending on the type of accommodation. Generally, all self-catering properties are fully furnished and supplied with household equipment such as cutlery and crockery, although in some cases you’ll be charged extra for linen or towels as well as for gas and electricity.

Serviced apartments offer the comfort, privacy and flexibility of a self-catering property, together with the added benefits of many hotel-type services - such as maid service, internet access points, room service and concierge/reception. If you want to know more about the facilities on offer, contact the accommodation provider before you book.
