Holiday Cottages

Late availability

English Heritage holiday cottages have stunning contemporary interiors and are just a stone's throw from amazing historic castles, country houses and abbeys. From Cornwall to the Isle of Wight, the Kent coastline to the Northamptonshire countryside, a stay at an English Heritage holiday cottage lets you discover, explore and experience history on your doorstep.

English Heritage has a collection of 21 historic holiday cottages, from an old buttress within the walls of Dover Castle, to a Victorian gatehouse located in the grounds of one of England's finest stately homes and many more, each cottage is unique in its own way.
