Beachfront Accommodation, UK & Europe
Renting a beachfront cottage or villa on the beach is the ultimate in holiday accommodation for those who want the quintessential beach holiday experience where you can soak up the coastal vibes and listen to the sea.
When it comes to choosing a holiday, sometimes you just want to be somewhere with a beautiful view where you can completely switch off and relax – and this is where beachfront cottages and beachfront holiday villas come into their own, whether you're looking to stay in England or go further afield.
Of course, deciding to search for beach cottages still leaves you with lots of decisions to make. Where do you want to go? Would you prefer a cottage by the beach in the UK? Or do you want to head for a villa on the beach in Europe? If your idea of heaven is a classic English seaside jaunt, then how about Cornwall, which has miles of coastline dotted with beachfront cottages. In Kent, you can stay in this extraordinary beachfront holiday house which has now just direct beach access, but also its own Real Sunlight room when you want warmth on a cooler day. And in the north of England, this dog friendly beachfront cottage in Lancashire looks out across Morecambe Bay. Or how about a beachfront cottage in Ireland, with walking trails which wind from your doorstep and wildlife all around you - this beautiful 300 year old thatched cottage is just the ticket. The Scottish islands are another obvious choice. Stay in this Tiny Home on the Isle of Harris where you’ve got soft white sand beaches right on your doorstep.
Further afield in the warmer climes of southern Europe, you can find a host of beachfront villas from where you can soak up some sunshine - this family friendly beach house in Galicia is right on a 3km sandy beach. Or if you’re looking for romance, this colourful former fisherman’s cottage in Lanzarote has the added bonus of being just steps away from some fabulous restaurants.
Imagine waking up to an expansive sea view, taking a stroll directly from your beachfront cottage along the golden sands, or a scenic walk along the coastal paths. Much of the beach accommodation in the UK is also dog friendly, and of course, more often than not, child friendly too.
