The holiday homes pictured above and below are the most recommended or best self catering holidays that I have to offer you based on independent recommendations by people who have already been there and experienced them.

Accommodation options in the table below include self catering cottages, holiday lodges or log cabins and family friendly holiday parks. In terms of the reviews left, I am very careful to ensure I only post genuine ones so that you can be assured they are all honest. For example, I require a valid email address for all reviewers & I ensure those people have stayed at the accommodation by validating it with the owner. If I receive a poor review, I launch a full investigation, speaking both to the reviewer & the owner - if I think the review is malicious, I do not post it as it can destroy someone's livelihood. If I receive several poor reviews for the same property, I remove it from the website as I only want to offer you the best holiday accommodation in the UK that is available.
