Booking a self-catering country cottage holiday can be difficult if you are unsure of what you will be getting, the reassurance of a 5* tourist board rated property can help you to make a decision and know exactly what standard of accommodation to expect when you arrive.

Highly regarded properties that have been rated 5 stars are expected to provide a beautiful holiday home of the upmost standards of cleanliness and presentation. Often with beautiful decor, high quality furnishings, sometimes designer and amazing attention to detail you will enjoy a very comfortable stay. As well as being presented in a fantastic way, 5* properties are often very well equipped with great technology such as flat screen TV's, internet, DVD and Blu-ray players and fully equipped kitchens with all you could need to make your own wonderful meals.

Included within many Luxury 5 star rated self-catering cottages are great facilities such as hot tubs, swimming pools, games rooms, cinema rooms, access to gyms and spas. These luxury facilities bring a huge benefit to some people who enjoy staying active on their holidays or like most enjoy being pampered and relaxing.
