Despite their off-the-beaten-track location, remote holiday cottages are equipped with essential amenities such as heating, cooking facilities, and bathroom facilities. Others may offer more luxurious features, such as hot tubs or fireplaces. Some cottages may also be pet-friendly, allowing travellers to bring their furry friends along for the adventure.

When choosing a holiday cottage in an isolated or secluded location, research its amenities to ensure that it meets your needs and preferences. Additionally, plan accordingly for limited cell phone service and Wi-Fi connectivity in these remote locations.

If remoteness is too daunting, consider a secluded holiday cottage with a private garden or a long drive where guests are unlikely to be overlooked by neighbours (if they have any). Enjoy the feeling of utter seclusion without being somewhere completely off the beaten track!
