Passage: Staying in self-catering cottages, apartments, private homes or country estates is a great way to explore a new area in depth. It’s the perfect “home away from home” and is often less expensive than staying in a hotel. The selection ranges from charming cottages to log cabins to country houses—out in the countryside, at the seaside or on a farm. You may even stay in a converted windmill or lighthouse. Staying in town? There are plenty of apartments, deluxe or more basic, in London and many other cities throughout Britain. Another fun option is a home exchange. Why not exchange houses with a British family for a really unique vacation experience?
