Many coastal holiday cottages will have a store of beach equipment for guests, such as buckets, spades, windbreaks, crab lines and even beach games or wet suits for children. Visit the website of a coastal holiday home to see just what beach equipment a cute cottage on the coast provides for guests. It could save a lot of packing or unnecessary purchases.

Beach and Coastal Cottages appeal to walkers. Self-catering means you are not tied to hotel restaurant times or having to dine out every night. It also offers facilities for drying and washing muddy clothes and boots overnight, ready for the following morning. Many coastal cottages welcome dogs - but check local tourist information to see which local beaches will be 'dog friendly' during your holiday.
