Waterside Cottages and Cabins

Waterside Cottages

Whether it's by a river or right on the beach, there's nothing quite like a holiday by the water – no substitute for falling asleep to the trickle of a stream or waking up to seagulls and the sound of surf. Here's a selection of some of our favourite riverside, lakeside and seaside self-catering places to stay all over Britain – in England, Scotland and Wales.
