So, you’ve decided you want to visit Yorkshire and enjoy some of its stunning scenery and its picturesque villages. So where do you stay? Do you stay in a hotel or look at cottages to rent in Yorkshire?

While of course it is a matter of personal preference, you may be one of the many people who are now choosing to stay in holiday cottages rather than a hotel or Bed & Breakfast. Why is this?

Cost
Typically, cottages to rent in Yorkshire may work out more cost-effective than alternative accommodation. And in today’s tough economic climate, for most of us, every penny counts.

Privacy
If you are the type of person for who holidays are a chance for you to chill out and sprawl across the sofa without being interrupted, then holiday cottages may be just what you are looking for. For some people, staying in a hotel with interruptions from housekeeping staff and having the formality of going downstairs to the breakfast room etc is not relaxing.

Space
Even though you may be out and about exploring Yorkshire during the day, do you really want to spend the evening stuck in a hotel room? With holiday properties you have a whole cottage to relax in after a hard day of walking and / or sightseeing.

Experience
Cottages to rent in Yorkshire allow you to have your Yorkshire experience in a more personal atmosphere. What sounds better for you – a quaint and quirky cottage in a small village or a large, impersonal hotel room in the middle of town?

Pet-friendly cottages
If you hate being separated from your pet when you go on holiday, then the good news is that there are pet-friendly holiday cottages. This is not only good for you and your pet’s emotional welfare, but it saves you money on kennel costs too!

So now we have discussed hotels versus cottages to rent in Yorkshire, which option will you choose?
