A. You can book a midweek break by directly getting in contact with the cottage owner or agency in charge of the property of your choosing.

Each agency or independent owner will have different terms and conditions so it is vital that you read through these and keep a copy for your own reference.

Q. What should I check before booking?

A. We advise that you look into a property in as much detail as possible before making a booking so that you are aware of what you should expect. You can ask the cottage’s owner, or the agency in charge of the property, whether there is much traffic noise from the streets outside or whether there are any ‘noisy’ buildings in the vicinity. You should also of course ask for the terms and conditions so that you know what to do should you have to cancel your booking.
