Of course there are many fine hotels and resorts across England but why would you choose one of those as a place to stay on your vacation there? It really does not matter what country in the world you travel to if you limit your accommodations to such places as they have a way of making most places the same as any other for all the hours in each day that you are at them. If you want to enjoy travel and make the most of it try to get out and see the real country. No place is this easier to facilitate than in the UK.

You will find numerous bed and breakfast type inns spread over England which allow a more unique introduction to the differences in culture and people there. You can also relax completely in a cottage or vacation house rental. These provide a comfortable home away from home experience where you can spread out to relax in larger accommodations while meeting and mingling with real English people.
A self-catered holiday is often more relaxing than a resort because there is no need to be at a restaurant at an exact time for a dinner reservation or to try to decide which of the eateries you do not know will serve something acceptable to the entire family. For families with younger children travelling the dishes are a small price to pay for not having to concern yourself so much with your children’s table manners at a 4 star restaurant.
In addition to more relaxing, larger families usually find a holiday cottage or large country home more affordable. There is plenty of room available to spread out and you do not need share bedrooms with the children or pay the overly high price of a suite at a hotel or resort. Larger extended family vacations are easily accommodated simply by choosing a larger vacation rental property.
The English countryside boasts fantastic sights such as castles and Stonehenge to explore and limitless activities around beautiful Cornwall and Devon to enjoy natural beauty.
