Welcome to Original Cottages!

Always local, wherever you stay

We're a national holiday cottages company, with a family of twenty local agencies across England and Wales. Every one of them an expert in their fields, as well as their region's winding footpaths and forgotten hills.

Family first, from the start

We've been a family-run company from the very beginning and we understand what it takes to make the most of time away with your loved ones. When you choose us, you'll find the most original places to stay, with all the comforts of home.

We know what makes a holiday memorable

Discovering unspoilt beaches, finding the perfect log-fire pub after a long country walk, heading to a tucked-away harbour for a fresh fish and chip supper: make the best of the great outdoors with our insider knowledge. With us, you can enjoy new experiences and exceptional stays. Explore our regional guides to find inspiration and your ideal location, or make the most of our local know-how and talk to one of our friendly team.
