What Are Some of the Amenities and Facilities To Look For in a Coastal Holiday Cottage?

  • April 29, 2022
  • Jules

If you’re looking for a coastal holiday cottage, there are a few things you must look for. One of the most important is the location – you want to be close to the beach! Other things to consider include parking, internet access, and laundry facilities. In this blog post, you will get to know some of the essential amenities and facilities when choosing a coastal holiday cottage.

Why Rent a Private Coastal Cottage for Holidays?

Spending holidays in a private coastal cottage is ideal for relaxing and rejuvenating. There are many reasons to rent a private coastal cottage for holidays. 

Firstly, it gives you complete privacy compared to staying in a hotel. You can spend quality time with your family or friends without being disturbed by other people. 

Secondly, renting a cottage is usually more cost-effective than staying in a hotel. You can save money on accommodation and food expenses by cooking your meals in the cottage kitchen. 

Thirdly, you get easy access to the beach. You can enjoy long walks on the beach, swimming in the sea, and sunbathing without sharing the space with other people. 

Lastly, spending holidays in a private cottage is an excellent way to connect with nature, disconnect from the daily hustle and bustle of city life, and enjoy the peace of the countryside. 

Things to consider before renting

Here are a few things that a vacationer should consider:

  • Location of the Cottage

Is it situated on a cliff with stunning ocean views? Or is it nestled in a sheltered cove, surrounded by forestry? The cottage’s location will significantly impact the overall tone of your holiday. If you’re looking for a peaceful and private getaway, avoid cottages located in busy tourist areas. However, if you’re looking for a festive and social atmosphere, a cottage in the heart of the action may be more your style.

  • Parking at the Cottage

Another important consideration is whether or not there is parking available at the cottage. If you’re planning on bringing your car, you must check to see if there is parking available on-site. If not, you may have to park your car in a public lot, which can be both expensive and inconvenient.

  • Internet Access at the Cottage

In today’s day and age, it’s essential to have internet access – even on vacation! Before booking a cottage, check if there is wifi available. If not, you may have to rely on your data plan, which can quickly become expensive.

  • Laundry Facilities at the Cottage

If you stay in a cottage for an extended period, it’s essential to access laundry facilities. Nothing ruins a vacation like having to wear dirty clothes! Be sure to check if the cottage has a washing machine and dryer or if there is a laundromat nearby.

  • Fully Equipped Kitchen

Ensure that the kitchen is fully equipped when choosing a coastal holiday cottage. After a long day at a sunny beach, you’ll want to be able to come back to the cottage and cook a delicious meal. 

  • Patios and Private Spaces

One of the best things about staying in a cottage is having your own private space. Check if the cottage has a patio or balcony – this is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine or coffee in the morning. 

  • Spacious Bedrooms and Living Areas

When you’re on vacation, you want to be able to relax and spread out. Be sure to check the size of the bedrooms and living areas in the cottage – you don’t want to be cramped up on your holiday!

  • Safety and Security Features 

Finally, check the safety and security features of the cottage. It is essential if you’re traveling with young children. Look for smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits. You’ll also want to ensure that the doors and windows have locks.

These are just a few things you should consider when booking your next vacation rental!
