Decent cottage websites please! I can't wade my way through any more chintz!!

[beansprout]

Pref West Country or Wales but open to suggestions!

I quite like this site (not that I've ever got round to booking . Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottages

Thanks!

I have always liked Hoseasons .

God, I know what you mean about chintz.

There's The Big Cottage Company and what I thought of it here

or we've stayed in 2 of these, great quality houses

and although I haven't stayed in any of these there are lots of lovely houses on The Big Domain.

Where do you want to go and how many of you?

I've used rural retreats (excellent) and helpful holidays helpful holidays (have very good website in which you can be VERY specific about your requirements!)I'd recommend both companies.

This one looks nice but not sure that is right area. Not far from Bath.
here

WWW.premiercottages.co.uk is great.

We use Welcome Cottages or Cottages4you. I know what you mean about the decor in some places, but I tend to ignore that aspect wherever possible and look for comofrt and amenities over style, lol! There are non chintzy though if you look hard enough

agree with chipstick, premier cottages is great. have also used cottages4you, and found them good

Classic Cottages are fab - just the West Country though. We've used them several times and never been disappointed. And the brochure is like a Boden catalogue - all arty shots of children on beaches, and wellies abandoned in doorways with Cath Kidston accessories glimpsed in the cottage...

coastal cottages of Pembrokeshire look OK

Helloooo! How's ds?

Rural Retreats (www.ruralretreats.co.uk, can't do links!) have some gorgeous chintz-free cottages. Not particularly cheap mind.

He's much better now, thank you. Still want to strangle dsd but I'll tell you about that when I see you!

Thanks for all the links - non-chintz cottage, here we come!

National Trust .

We're going to one of their Pembroke cottages for a long weekend in two weeks time.
