Relax in Comfort at English Country Cottages
Relax in Comfort at English Country Cottages
The suggestion of English country cottages evokes thoughts of a warm hearth, warm woolen sweaters and a mug of tea. It also puts one in mind of beautiful beaches, rocky cliffs and endless skies. Perhaps a mountainous backdrop with animals grazing in the distance enters the scene. However imagined, the English countryside would be a perfect place to visit.
Located just a relatively short distance from London, it is possible to make the commute to the city daily for work and still have a heavenly retreat from a hectic day in the city. Who could resist the draw of the pretty scenery and lifestyle provided by such beautiful land that borders the seaside and the mountains?
Reaching this destination for international travelers arriving at Heathrow Airport requires a train ride into Paddington Station, and then another ninety minute train journey out of the city. Bus (coach) service is available, though it will take a slightly longer time to arrive, with a ride lasting about three or four hours. By auto, expect a two hour road trip on the M4.
Once there, your breath is taken away by visions of sea and sky, sandy beaches, cliffs and mountains. The pleasure of staying in English country cottages will surpass any thoughts of relaxation and comfort, and will, of course, offer tons of personality. As a stay for the holidays or a break from the pressures of daily life, a stay in such a home will charm and entice your every sense. Delightful would be the cottage with a thatched roof, but no less wonderful is a newer home with modern conveniences as we have come to appreciate, such as a washer and dryer and adequate heat and hot water.
Homeowners and vacationers alike will appreciate the square cottage with an attic or eave suitable for a snug reading loft, as will the chef preparing a meal for a hunting party just back and expecting some hearty fare cooked on the giant old stove. Mismatched dishes that have been stuffed into an old kitchen dresser complete the image of a simpler time, while meeting every need and expectation of those partaking in the meal offered. Only a great old Aga with an endless pot of tea boiling makes this picture complete. Fear not, homes that are available to let are usually quite updated, and can accommodate any number of guests. Perfect for a family reunion or celebration, the picturesque beauty will sing to any visitors who choose to make this countryside a memory.
One can only imagine the delight of English country cottages, enjoying the seaside, sandy beaches, golf or horseback riding. A trip to the pub for a pint or a day of exploring castles will surely be made more special with the anticipation of a warm cup of tea in front of a fire calling you home.
