2014

Welcome to Premier Cottages Welcome to Premier Cottages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the finest collection of four and five star graded self catering accommodation in the British Isles and Ireland. No other group of self catering properties has as many independent awards for quality, accessibility and sustainability (see pages 10-13 for more details). There are no booking fees and all Premier Cottages properties offer All Inclusive pricing (see page 8).

What is Premier Cottages? Premier Cottages really is different. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a booking agency. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an organisation of independent self catering holiday cottage owners, brought together by the shared aim of providing the very highest quality self catering holiday experience. Established 14 years ago, Premier Cottages now represents nearly 1000 cottages in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, the Isles of Scilly and the Channel Islands. Many other cottage collections claim to have the best properties, however at Premier Cottages we can substantiate our claim with a consistent and unrivalled record of both regional and national award winning cottages. This fantastic track record reflects the hard work and commitment of our owners who, as professional self-caterers rather than second home owners, are passionate about providing a top quality product and whose aim is to ensure that you have a fantastic holiday. For the most recent awards see The Awards section on page 255. For a full list of our awards, visit premiercottages.co.uk and check out the awards page.

Premier Cottages

Four and Five Star Premier Cottages only accepts high 4 or 5 Star rated properties and acceptance into Membership is based purely on quality, not a willingness to pay for advertising space. In addition to achieving a 4 or 5 Star grading, each new property is also assessed by an experienced Member before acceptance. Only exceptional properties with owners who understand that the priority is the guest experience are accepted.

Four Star Many 4 Star properties will feature facilities that are expected of 5 Star properties, so it is always best to check with the owner directly about any special requirements or questions. By choosing a VisitEngland, VisitWales or VisitScotland 4 Star cottage, you can expect to stay in a cottage rated excellent at inspection. It will be spacious with very good quality furniture, soft furnishings, beds and floorings, and decorated to a high standard. Trevase Cottages

Five Star By choosing a VisitEngland, VisitWales or VisitScotland 5 Star cottage, you can expect to stay in a cottage rated exceptional or world class at inspection. It will demonstrate the best of its type available, showing attention to detail in design, both internal and external, and exemplary standards of care and maintenance.

Gold Award VisitEnglandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique Gold Awards are given in recognition of exceptional quality within a propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star rating, or for outperforming a star rating.

Each Member has their business inspected by a GTBS assessor who inspects more than 200 individual measures within the business. The resulting marks are presented as follows: Awaiting Grading: property has joined scheme and is preparing for assessment. Bronze Award: all basic processes to reduce waste, energy and water are in place. A good sustainable business.

Somewhere so right for you all, you find yourself returning again and again. Tredethick's just that kind of place: animals to feed, ponies to ride, places to play, a pool and hot tub to discover, new places to see. All in the beautiful, secluded countryside. A place to see your young children come alive and for you to relax and recharge. Children can help Farmer Tim bottle feed lambs, watch the pigs, feed the goats and chickens and collect freshly laid eggs. For many feeding the animals and twice weekly pony rides are their most treasured memories. Our indoor heated pool is always a toasty 30 degrees and is 1.2 metres throughout, so it's easy keeping your children safe. The secure hot tub garden with its tree ferns, hammock and glass pod is somewhere where you can drift off into another world and struggle to imagine how things could be any better. Soft play room … your children will love the place, its play frames, soft shapes and ball pool. But it's just as enticing for you with windows looking out on to sweeping farmland, comfy chairs and sofas, free, fresh-ground Lavazza coffee, a selection of daily papers and magazines to browse. You will end up dragging them along to the soft play.

In our Play Barn the sandpit, Wendy House and slide will provide hours of fun. There's also playboards, table tennis, table football and pool. Tredethick is incredibly child-friendly with freedom to wander to the new outside play area, giant trampoline, ride-on tractors, scooters and balance bikes. Holidays with young children and toddlers can often leave you really needing a holiday. But not here. There is so much for you and your children to enjoy. Tredethick is a place where with young children you are never stuck with what to do, relaxing becomes easy, you can simply recharge, enjoy and will long to return. Playpark

A short distance from the sea and a stroll from Porlock Village makes this a superb setting for your holiday. Originally a corn mill, then in later years it supplied electricity for Porlocks' street lights. Lovingly restored, it has been luxuriously furnished with antiques and sumptuous soft furnishings. Sitting in an acre of terraced gardens, with a waterfall and river frontage, it's the perfect place to indulge. From your doorstep walk into the ancient Hawkcombe Woods and up onto the top of Exmoor, home to red deer and wild ponies. Porlock Weir, just over a mile away, a quaint little harbour great for birdwatching.

That isn’t faceless “corporate” donations – it is our fantastic individual cottage owners raising money by donating holidays in their cottages for Macmillan to raffle during their events, putting on their own fund raising events (from cycle rides and open garden days to dinners and coffee mornings), and from generous guest donations to collection boxes in their cottages. The money raised helps Macmillan in its important work in cancer care, where it really does make a difference for so many people. To find out more visit

several of whom had Lutyens design their houses. Wickmere is a quiet hamlet made up of a few cottages which were built to provide accommodation for the workers on the Wolterton estate. Using Swallow Cottages as a base, it is possible to walk or cycle along quiet traffic-free lanes, and reach the entire north Norfolk coast. Swallow Cottages have a large enclosed south facing garden overlooking meadows and open countryside within a conservation area. All the cottages are within easy reach of north Norfolk’s attractions and places of interest. Guests particularly enjoy visiting National Trust properties such as Blickling Hall and Sheringham Park, The North Norfolk Steam Railway, seal trips from Morston and taking boat trips on the Norfolk Broads.

Poppyland Holiday Cottages offer eight individual properties in the unspoilt coastal and rural north Norfolk villages of Aylmerton, Overstrand and Wickmere. Aylmerton, two miles from the coast, has Felbrigg Hall and its Humphry Repton inspired parkland and woods as its neighbour, just a few minutes walk from Hollybrook Cottage. Overstrand, a crab fishing village just to the east of Cromer and within walking distance along the beach or by the cliff top path, has expansive safe sandy beaches ideal for young children to build sand castles, play beach cricket, or hunt for crabs. Guests can walk to the beach within minutes from any of our Overstrand cottages. In its Edwardian heyday it was known as the village of millionaires due to the number of wealthy homeowners,

Ireland Ireland holds one of the liveliest capitals in Europe, yet Dublin’s bustle is a world away from the quieter pastoral pleasures of the country. Visit the atmospheric Neolithic tombs of Newgrange, Wicklow’s relaxing gardens, the gourmet restaurants of Kinsale or Tipperary’s medieval fortresses. Across the border is Northern Ireland’s own tranquil Lake District in Fermanagh. Scotland Scotland’s six cities are scattered over a spectacularly diverse landscape. Get your culture fix in Edinburgh, with its ancient castle and Michelin-starred restaurants, or the vibrant arts centre of Glasgow. Hill-walk the dramatic peaks and lakes of Inverness, sail to the other-worldly islands of Mull and the Inner Hebrides or sip on Speyside whisky on the east coast.
