About Premier Cottages:
Premier Cottages features around 850 luxury self-catering properties across the UK, ranging from small, romantic boltholes to large family-friendly country estates. The collection includes pet-friendly and glamping accommodation as well as the widest range of accessible properties in the UK. Properties often have onsite facilities like swimming pools, gyms, spas, indoor games rooms and children’s play areas.
Unlike many large holiday rental websites, Premier Cottages charges no booking fees, meaning guests can save 15% or more with their “Inclusive Pricing” policy – no hidden charges, cleaning fees or service costs. In peak periods this can save hundreds of pounds. Premier Cottages is a membership organisation of property owners committed to the highest standards, with most properties graded 4 & 5 Star by national tourist boards. You book direct with owners, many of whom live onsite and can share local knowledge of events, restaurants and attractions.
