With Endless Vacation Rentals, you won't merely visit the United Kingdom, you
will experience it firsthand - the beauty, history and charm - roaming among the locals.
Instead of a hotel room, spread out in a carefully restored 17th century cottage,
renovated house or former granary nestled in the heart of the beautiful English countryside.
Or make yourself at home in an elegant townhouse tucked away down a cobbled lane in
the heart of the Scottish capital of Edinburgh.
Your United Kingdom vacations "resort activity" may be an exploration of Shakespeare's
Stratford-upon-Avon, salmon fishing on the River Tay, sailing on the River Dart or
a stroll down a scenic footpath in and around Smarden. You may choose to pass the
time swapping tall tales with newfound friends over a pint. Or you may choose to immerse
yourself in the architecture of the largest gothic cathedral in Northern Europe (York
Minster).
Whatever your passion, your reward from an exciting day's activities will be a retreat
to your one-of-a-kind accommodations, stylishly appointed with all the comforts you'd
expect in a home away from home.
There are eight units in the main hall and six cottages within the grounds. Facilities
include a small heated indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, lounge and a self-service
launderette. ... Read More >>
