Luxury Holiday Cottages

Browse luxury holiday cottages across the UK, from stylish boltholes for two to larger self-catering homes for a celebration or group break. This collection brings together properties with a distinctive design, special setting, high-quality facilities or an independently recognised quality standard.

Luxury means different things to different people. You may be looking for a private pool or hot tub, generous space for entertaining, a memorable coastal or countryside setting, or simply a beautifully designed place to relax. Use the filters to narrow your search by destination, group size and features, then check each listing for the details that matter to you.

Find a luxury cottage that suits your plans

A luxury cottage holiday does not have to mean the same thing for every stay. For a couple’s break, privacy, a well-designed bedroom and bathroom, a good kitchen or a walkable setting may be most important. For a family gathering or celebration, you may need generous dining space, several bathrooms, outdoor areas and facilities that everyone can enjoy.

The individual listing should show the reason it is included in this collection, along with its facilities, location and booking information. Check the photographs and full property description before booking, especially if a pool, hot tub, accessibility feature or outdoor space is important to your plans.

What to check before booking a luxury holiday cottage

Why it is classed as luxury: Look for the named feature, quality standard or distinctive setting on the listing.

Quality ratings and awards: Only rely on a rating or award where the issuer and current status are stated.
Space for your group: Review the bedroom layout, bathrooms, living space, dining area and parking rather than relying on the number of guests alone.
Location: A luxury cottage can be in a city, by the coast, on an estate or in the countryside. Check travel times and local amenities.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a holiday cottage luxury?

There is no single definition. A luxury cottage may have an independently recognised quality standard, distinctive interiors, exceptional facilities, generous space or a special setting. Check the individual listing for the specific reason it is included in this collection.

Are all luxury cottages officially five star?

No. Only properties that display a current independent rating should be described as five star. A Luxury label alone does not mean that a property has an official star rating.

Will every luxury cottage have a pool or hot tub?

No. Facilities vary between properties. Check the listing for the exact features available and whether they are private, shared or seasonal.

Can I find luxury cottages for couples?

Yes. Use the group-size filter to find smaller properties, then compare the location, facilities and layout. You can also browse our cottages for couples collection.

Are luxury cottages suitable for groups and family celebrations?

Some are, but the right property depends on your group. Check the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, shared living space, dining arrangements, parking and any house rules before booking.
