Cottages for Rent

A growing number of holidaymakers are looking for cottages for rent rather than staying in accommodation such as B&Bs and hotels. People are increasingly looking for good quality accommodation that offers them the option to eat in, veg out in front of the TV or surf the internet. They love the idea of a home from home and do not mind paying a little bit extra for this kind of accommodation.

The fact that people are looking for holiday cottages in the UK is not all that surprising. There is quite a long tradition of this kind of holiday, in the UK, so growth in this market is to be expected. However, increasingly people are looking for them abroad too. One of the countries experiencing the most growth in interest is surprisingly, Spain.

Why There are so Many Cottages for Rent in Spain

When people think of Spain, they have a tendency to think of package holidays, with a flight and a hotel room. However, increasingly visitors to Spain are seeking out independent accommodation and they are frequently surprised at the variety that is available.

They are especially surprised when they find out they can actually rent a holiday cottage, in Spain. They may not look exactly the same as a cottage in the UK, but holiday accommodation that is located in a small town or village is easy to find all over Spain.

Increasingly, holiday homes in the countryside or the campo, as the Spanish say, is becoming available. This is, in part, born out of the fact that increasing numbers of expats have bought homes in the countryside. When people in the Spanish countryside began to see foreigners buying homes in their area they realised there was probably also demand for holiday accommodation. A few dipped their toe in the water and converted their family fincas (country homes) into holiday cottages and others quickly followed when they saw how popular they were.

A whole industry sprang up almost overnight and today finding cottages for rent in Spain is easy. The best place to search is the web, but be sure to book your Spanish holiday cottage through a good agent.
