Remote Cottages
Looking for a holiday cottage that's really in the sticks? Ready to switch off and relax? Check out our guide to some of the UK's finest remote holiday cottages and self-catering properties – out-of-the-way places in the middle of nowhere, where you really can get away from it all. Some are off-grid, others don't have wifi or a phone signal, and all are in gloriously remote locations, from wildest coast to deepest countryside. It doesn't necessarily make them budget or basic – some are downright luxurious – but you do have to adjust your expectations when the nearest pub or shop might be miles away. So if this sounds like your kind of holiday, read on – for amazing remote cottages in Britain's back of beyond.
