Holiday Cottages Durham – Why They Are Better

Durham is famous for several things including its eleventh century castle and its Norman cathedral. The castle is actually the site of Durham University, but is still a major tourist draw. Along with these sites, Durham features numerous other historic landmarks that add a large feeling of history to the area. The area is frequently visited by tourists from the United Kingdom as well as overseas, and many families actually hold reunions and holiday get-togethers nearby. For most, renting one of the great holiday cottages that can be found in Durham is the best way to ensure that you enjoy your stay here.

Holiday cottages just offer so much more than a hotel or other similar accommodation can provide. A quick run through of some of the key advantages they offer will help you see why so many people choose a cottage over any other option out there.

• Instead of dealing with lobbies, crowded elevators, and noisy hallways you'll actually have your own private retreat. That means that you get the peace and quiet you came on holiday for as well as the privacy you deserve. Hotels can't offer you that, but it's a standard feature with holiday cottages.
• Hotel rooms are one standard size, sometimes two or three. If you have a large family, that means uncomfortable sleeping arrangements or multiple rooms. Just trying to get together in the morning and plan out your day will involve a large number of people crammed into a small hotel room. Instead, holiday cottages offer you plenty of size options. Whether you need a small cottage for a romantic getaway for two or have a huge family that needs plenty of space, finding the right cottage is easy. You'll have more room, more beds, and probably save money since you won't be forced to rent multiple rooms.
• Cottages come with self-catering. That means you get a full kitchen instead of a tiny fridge and nothing else. You'll be able to prepare meals and snacks whenever you want. That means you'll save money and get to eat the way that you want. Nothing beats getting together in a kitchen for breakfast before you start the day's adventures.

Simply put, a holiday cottage just offers more than you'll be able to get from any other type of accommodation. You are taking a holiday to relax and enjoy yourself, and the right accommodation has a big impact on your ability to do that. A holiday cottage will ensure that you enjoy your stay.
