Combining a change from the norm with classic home comforts is an irresistible offer - and why cottage holidays have become so popular. The vast majority of our self-catering properties are cottages in rural towns and villages, but we do have some city based properties, many of which are apartments. The best family rental holiday cottages in Avening are typically small homes for rent that can be treated like your own home for the duration of your cottage holiday. We know many of our visitors like to take their dogs with them and many cottages now allow this. We can help if you're looking for a holiday cottage or other accommodation in Avening to stay in with your family for a week or two or somewhere in Avening to stay with friends over a long weekend.
Children love to get out of the cottage (not because the cottages aren't great, but because its fun to play outside!) and this is a great benefit of staying in a country cottage. Banking on continual excellent weather, however, can be a little short-sighted in Gloucestershire. We live in a country where we're no stranger to rain and preparing for the inevitable downpour is always a good idea. Some cottages will provide a few books and magazines but you aren't likely to get the latest blockbuster or this month's Vogue. Or just ignore the rain and get on with whatever you had initially planned and be determined that a little water will not spoil the day.

When you're so focused on the final destination, its easy to forget to pack some of the basics, so here are a few tips.
