Premier Cottages 2012

Welcome to Premier Cottages The finest collection of award winning four and five Star graded self catering accommodation in the British Isles. No other group of self catering properties can boast as many independent awards for quality, accessibility and sustainability (see page 4 for more details). All backed with the unique Premier Promise (see page 5).

What is Premier Cottages? Premier Cottages really is different. It’s not a booking agency. It’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 accommodation. Established 12 years ago, Premier Cottages now represents nearly 1000 cottages in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, the Isles of Scilly and the Channel Islands. Many of our competitors claim to have the best properties, but 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 a full list of our recent awards, visit www.premiercottages.co.uk/Awards.aspx

Birchill Cottages - page 45

All members of Premier Cottages are collective members of EASCO (English Association of Self Catering Operators), WASCO (Wales Association of Self Catering Operators) or ASSC (Association of Scotland’s Self Caterers.) These associations work to improve standards within the self catering sector for both guests and owners alike.

Quality

Premier Cottages 2012

without equal Each year, all Premier Cottages properties are subject to a rigorous annual inspection by their National Tourist Board before being considered for inclusion. We accept only the best, which is reflected by our members scooping the national accolade of “Self Catering Holiday Cottage of the Year” four times in the last five years. Our national and regional awards total 88 in the last seven years, an incredible achievement unequalled in the luxury holiday cottage market. On top of that, more than half of our properties have received the VisitEngland Gold Award for Excellence during this grading process, marking them out as the top tier of 4 and 5 Star properties in England. With our quality comes great service. You book directly with the holiday cottage owner, who is best placed to help tailor your luxury self catering break to your personal requirements. Whether it's for a family holiday, a reunion of friends, a short break or a honeymoon, you’ll find the perfect property at premiercottages.co.uk.

Four and Five Star Our recruitment team, made up of experienced owners, ensures that new properties reflect the highest standard of quality, service and facilities demanded by the discerning self caterer. We only accept those cottages that attain a high 4 or 5 Star rating. Acceptance into Premier Cottages is based purely on the quality of the accommodation, not a willingness to pay for advertising space. All our members’ properties are inspected annually by their National Tourist Board to ensure they maintain a 4 or 5 Star grading each year.

Sweeton Manor and Cottages - page 86

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 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. Beds will be made up on arrival and bath towels provided. You will have access to a washing machine and tumble dryer. All equipment and facilities will be in good order.

By choosing a VisitEngland 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. In addition to that provided in a 4 Star property, you will have a freezer, dishwasher and extra space in here at least one bath. Any leisure facilities will be high standard and have generous access times for guests. Full details of the grading system for self catering can be found at www.qualityintourism.com/asp/selfcatering.asp

Feeding goat

Soft play room

Granary Cottage

Children get the chance to help Farmer Tim bottle-feed lambs, watch the pigs, feed the goats and chickens and collect freshly laid eggs. For many feeding the animals is their most treasured memory. Twice weekly pony rides are also incredibly popular. Our indoor heated pool is always a toasty 30oC and is 1.2 metres deep throughout, so it’s easy keeping your children safe. Soft play room … your children will love the place, its play frames, soft shapes and ball pool. But windows looking out onto sweeping farmland, comfy chairs and sofas, free freshground Lavazza coffee and a selection of daily papers and magazines make it just as enticing for you. It's like the world turned upside down where YOU end up dragging THEM along to the soft play. In our Play Barn, the sandpit with ten tonnes of play-sand, Wendy House & slide will provide hours of fun. There's also table tennis, table football and pool.

Tredethick is incredibly child-friendly with freedom to wander to the outside play area, giant trampoline, ride-on tractors and scooters. Holidays with young children and toddlers can often leave you really needing a holiday. We don't think it has to or should be like that. The soft play room, as already mentioned, is as enticing for you as it is for your child. In your garden you'll find everything you need to unwind with a book, a drink and we're happy to help out with a sitter so that you can experience the lovely local eateries. Tredethick is a place where, with young children, you can relax, recharge, enjoy and long to return.

Lakeside Cottage

Devon

A natural wildlife haven twixt moor and sea in the South Hams, South Devon

Lakeside Cottage - Swan Lake

Sitting room

Bedroom

Cottage across lake

Lakeside, an exclusive 5 Star Gold Award boutique cottage with a rare 100% scoring throughout, is just for two people wishing to spend some quality time together.

At dawn the kingfisher and heron fish off the handrail of the Monet-style bridge. Dusk brings out the little bats swooping over the lake and the wary foxes, badgers and owls.

Set in a breathtaking green oasis of calm and tranquillity, the cottage sits on its own by the lake in two acres of the four-acre grounds of the owners' home, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounded by Green Belt.

Lakeside Cottage comprises a hallway and four rooms: a sitting room with a squashy leather chaise-longue sofa, an inglenook log-and-coal open gas fire; a bedroom with a king-size woven flax bed (Vi-spring mattress) and matching sofa with footstool; an en suite with an amazing steam/shower/whirlpool bath cabinet and a well fitted kitchen with matching granite worktop and flooring. All main rooms have large windows giving panoramic views of the lake and grounds and the central heating is a cosy combination of radiators and underfloor heating for all year letting.

The lake and its surroundings are unique, an extremely vibrant and natural wildlife habitat, with breeding pairs of moorhens, ducks and in 2011 for the first time a pair of mute swans which produced six cygnets in June, not due to fly until early November. No guarantees, of course, for 2012!

Cottage from bankside

Devon

Ruggedly beautiful Dartmoor is 3 miles away, the Erme Valley Trail passes the entrance to Lakeside. The lovely beaches of the South Hams are nearby. A short drive will take you to historic Totnes where you can go around a ruined castle, visit Dartington Hall with one of the finest English gardens. Visit the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, Saltram House (NT), Paignton Zoo, Buckfast Abbey, Cornwall's Eden Project, and the Jurassic Coast. If you wish to come to a complete standstill, chilling out on the terrace by the waterfall is favourite. Lakeside is a secluded wildlife haven of dragonflies, butterflies, damselflies, moorhens, buzzards, rabbits and squirrels.

The Tallat House at Taw Mill Beautiful Tarka country

Premier Cottages is delighted to have adopted Help for Heroes as our charity of the year.

The Tallat House exterior

We thought that a fantastic practical way to offer help to this great cause would be to create a Cottages4Heroes project. Our members have donated free holidays in our luxury cottages to injured servicemen and women and their families, as well as committing to fundraising through activities such as garden parties, bike rides, dinner parties, collection tins etc.

Devon

The Tallat House is a picturesque thatched cottage offering superb accommodation in a fabulous peaceful location. Downstairs is a cosy sitting room, dining area, handcrafted kitchen and fully tiled wetroom. A beautiful oak staircase leads to one double bedroom, one twin bedroom, and a family bathroom. Every room enjoys superb views of the gardens, meadows and lake. Outside there is a hot tub, large gardens, patio, barbecue area and ample secure parking. Cross the mill leat into a wild flower meadow and there is private fishing on our trout lake or the River Taw. Peaceful strolls along the river spotting the kingfishers are the perfect way to unwind and if you are lucky you may even see an otter.

SPECIAL FEATURES

The Holidays4Heroes scheme is being administered in partnership with the Band of Sisters, the arm of Help4Heroes which is a support network for those who care for, and support their wounded Hero. For more information on Help4Heroes, go to the following link www.helpforheroes.org.uk

• • • • • •

A comment from our first guests under the project: “We just wanted to say a huge thank you. To think of the guys and those who support them is fantastic. They really appreciate people thinking of them. They often think they don’t deserve it - that others are always worse off than them, which is true, but all of them deserve a treat! Generous offers like yours mean those who have been through tough times can feel special. Thank you!” Caty & David

Woodlands Farmhouse

Located in stunning Exmoor National Park

Luxuriously equipped historic farmhouse overlooking Glastonbury Tor

The Watermill

Woodlands Farmhouse

Nestled in the peaceful Hawkcombe valley, within beautiful Exmoor National Park, lays a charming 19th century Watermill. 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 Porlock’s 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.

Woodlands Farmhouse combines the heritage and charm of an historic grade II listed dairy farm, with the style and chic of 21st century living, achieving a Gold Award in addition to its 5 Star grading. With seven en suite bedrooms (one of which is located on the ground floor and ideal for those who prefer not to use stairs), it sleeps 14 very comfortably. The house was completely renovated over two years, using the finest craftsmen to restore features such as the inglenook fireplaces, old bread oven, original flagstones and large elm floorboards, to name but a few. Whilst preserving the old, we have also added style and comfort with luxuries such as the hot tub, cinema room, wet room showers and bespoke designer kitchen.

For larger parties, the dining room in Old Yew can easily accommodate 16 people round a single table. Cobblers and Easter Hill cottages sleep 4 and Saddlers sleeps 2. These three cottages are built on one level and have wider doorways. Granary Cottage sleeps 4. Pond, Church End and Lantern sleep 2.

Cheshire, Shropshire and Herefordshire

From the gastronomic delights of Ludlow and medieval streets of Shrewsbury to fairytale castles and ‘blue remembered hills’, Shropshire is a rural county with timeless appeal. The cider county of Herefordshire next door shares its neighbour’s undulating natural beauty, and provides distraction with its pretty half-timbered villages, fragrant orchards and market towns.

It is little surprise that Aldeburgh has become such a popular destination for family holidays, reunions and celebrations - there is something for everyone and at The Gables it is all on your doorstep. Beach, shops, cinema, restaurants, pubs, sailing, tennis and golf are all within easy reach. Children can safely enjoy some real independence so bring the bikes, put away the car keys and enjoy staying somewhere where everyone can do their own thing. Owned by the same family since 1880, set in its own secure south facing garden and enjoying wonderful river views The Gables has recently been renovated to a high standard while retaining the feel of a Victorian family house.

Hoste Barn has been sympathetically restored maintaining all its vernacular past whilst incorporating many modern features. It sits in the beautiful landscaped gardens and grounds of the 16thC wool merchant’s manor house, which won the Graham Allen Award for Conservation. Hoste Barn is ideally situated to explore the North Norfolk coast, the Norfolk Broads and the cathedral city of Norwich. Standing in unspoilt countryside, not far from the National Trust's Blickling and Felbrigg estates. Hoste Barn is a stunning property featuring throughout a 50ft vaulted, original timber framed roof, giving an immense sense of space and light from all perspectives. Antique yorkstone flags, oak and granite blend harmoniously throughout. Both bedrooms are unique with sumptuous en suites.

Sunnybank is the perfect place to escape from it all. It has very spacious accommodation, sleeping six people comfortably with room for up to four others. Sunnybank has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen/dining area, a TV lounge and tranquil reading room. The enclosed gardens are perfect for watching the nautical world go by. To the south is the historic fishing town of Whitby, dominated by the cliff top ruins of its 13th century abbey and famous for its connections with Captain Cook and Dracula. To the west are the North Yorkshire moors, with their steam railway and the picturesque scenery which formed the backdrop for the TV series “Heartbeat”. To the north is the "Dinosaur Coast" with fossils, local jet and historic villages.

Singled out as one of Britain’s 20 best beaches by Telegraph Travel in July 2011, Sandsend beach is “Set against a backdrop of grassy cliffs, where the wide sweep of beach from Whitby ends, this stretch is quieter and prettier than its famous neighbour. Children play in the little becks that flow across the sand and ducks waddle across the green in charming Sandsend village. This is a great place for fossil hunting at low tide.“ “Magical” Sunnybank, which has been in the same family for almost a century, is a very special seafront holiday home overlooking the beach. It occupies a unique elevated position and boasts panoramic views of the sea from the Ness headland in the north to Whitby in the south. There are sea views from almost every room in the house.

Croft Farm & Celtic Cottages in North Pembrokeshire is the perfect destination for a holiday with family and friends. Choose from 10 award winning, luxury cottages including stone built barn conversions with log burners, sleeping from 3 to 12 people. Clustered around a former dairy farm, Croft has superb on site facilities including the Big Play Barn and luxury indoor heated swimming pool, hot tub, gym and sauna. All this just 4 miles from the Pembrokeshire Coast Park & Cardigan bay. The spectacular coastline on your doorstep lures coast lovers, bird watchers and beachcombers year after year.

It takes a little effort to reach West Wales, that’s all part of the holiday. Feel your cares fall away as you head to the undiscovered Celtic fringe (like Cornwall ten years ago). Take blustery autumn walks on the deserted beaches then snuggle up with a hot chocolate in front of the woodburner in your cosy cottage or go in search of bluebell woods opening onto dramatic coastline in late spring. In summer, soak up the sunshine on wide open stunning beaches. Plenty of fun for little people and relaxation for grown ups.

Although cows are no longer milked at Croft Farm you can still play at being a farmer and visit the animals every day. Enjoy feeding the Angora goats, ponies and donkeys, collecting eggs and cuddling the rabbits and guinea pigs in Pets Corner.

Meadow Cottage

Andrew and Sylvie, parents themselves, understand that holidays are all about escaping, unwinding, relaxing and rediscovering the fun of being together.

The farm cottages are some of the prettiest in Wales, nestling in delightful flower filled gardens and grounds, with lots of places to sit and dream, read a book or just gaze at the views. Our heated swimming pool is a real suntrap, with mangers full of flowers on its white walls. The views over the valley and the lake make it a very special spot for relaxing in the sun. Younger children delight in the Wendy house whilst the older ones can enjoy the adventure playground away from the cottages. Wander to the lake in the valley, watch the fish and ducks and make friends with our donkeys, goats, pigs, horse, rabbits and sheep.

The Bothy at Orchard Walls

The Garden Rooms lie in a Grade II listed Georgian residence built 1830. The house is full of character and charm and is set in rolling countryside with uninterrupted parkland views. The Garden Rooms have been restored to accommodate 6 people self catering. Original features include your own private tunnel entrance, exposed stone and brick work, tongue and groove wainscoting with pitch pine floorboards throughout. A jib door leads to a sheltered patio barbecue area. An idyllic setting offering easy access to the historic Boyne Valley, long sandy beaches or the hustle & bustle of Dublin city centre. Whether you are looking for a relaxing or action packed holiday we have everything on our doorstep for all to enjoy.

Escape to tranquility in stunning surroundings. The Bothy at Orchard Walls is near the village of Traquair, on a quiet little road leading to Glen House with magnificent views up the glen and across the Quair Water. Originally built around 1815, the Bothy has been transformed into a fully modernised cottage preserving its character from the original large stone fireplace which now houses a log burning stove. Facilities include: elegant double bedroom with super king-size bed (or twin beds on request), welcoming lounge/dining room, bathroom with bath and power shower and fully equipped bijou kitchen. Local activities include cycling, fishing, golfing, horse riding, walking, visiting nearby historic Traquair House or just being mesmerised by the beautiful scenery.

These unique whitewashed seaside cottages are 5 Star standard.

Traditional Irish pubs, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and services are all just a short 10 minute walk by beach or road. To quote a recent travel writer who visited, “In a completely selfish moment … I thought ‘don't write about this one … keep it as a secret hideaway’ … but a place so beautiful is meant to be shared and enjoyed …”
