There are farm cottages the length and breadth of Britain, from converted crofts in the Highlands of Scotland to old Tithe Barns and Oast Houses in Kent. Where grain was once stored, or horses stabled, you will find luxurious self-catering accommodation in rooms that retain the traces of their previous life, from oak beams to the occasional (strictly decorative) cider press. Most working farms will have footpaths and fields for exploring without driving further afield - perfect for holidays with pets. For those seeking facilities such as cottages with a swimming pool and children's play areas, farms with cottages created from former farm buildings are well worth considering. This is due to farmers finding they have perfect spaces for a range of facilities that many independent holiday cottages cannot accommodate.

Rural holidays in Farm Cottages in the depths of the countryside on places like Exmoor will reveal the canopy of stars in the night skies that city dwellers cannot experience, especially on crisp, clear nights in the winter. For wildflower lovers, there's nothing like a farm holiday for rambling down country lanes and woodland footpaths carpeted with snowdrops, primroses, bluebells, pink campion, violets and cow parsley according to the time of year. The best areas for wildflowers tend to be more suitable for animal farming, as fewer fertilizers have been used on the fields, thus protecting the flowers.

Book a farm cottage for a self-catering holiday and re-discover the beauties of the Great British Countryside in any season.
