Summer availability 2021

A good summer this year is exactly what we all need. Some sun-drenched, nose-peeling, surf-splashing simple fun. The only trouble is that because we’re all needing it, lots of places are nearly full for summer already. To help you, we’ve created this selection of characterful places that have availability across the summer months. You’ll find exact dates available on each property’s page or by following the link to their website. Here’s to a much needed summer holiday in the UK!
