What could be more beautiful and unique than a thatched cottage, exuding its magical olde worlde charm and transporting you to an idyllically peaceful world where time isn't an issue.

Thatched cottages are nothing new having been around for centuries. They still exist throughout the world in various guises. Be the thatch straw or reed, each one is special, and a showcase for the creativity and craftsmanship of its thatcher. England is particularly fortunate in still having some very pretty examples, though not so many as for them to lose their uniqueness. Although more expensive to maintain than regular roofs, their beauty and individual style of thatch, still puts them on many a person's wish list.

Many of these charming thatched cottages are now available throughout Great Britain and Ireland as quality holiday cottages. Their traditional and homely atmosphere makes them a perfect choice for a family break.

The larger properties are particularly special, oozing luxury. Additionally, they sleep as many as ten comfortably and thereby qualify as an ideal choice of venue for that extra special celebration.

Meanwhile, the spacious, tastefully decorated and furnished interior, will provide the gloss needed for such an important occasion. The beautiful massive mature gardens in which many of these cottages are set, overlook panoramic views: a superb backdrop for photos of that once in a lifetime special occasion.
