Weekend City Getaways

Whether you're a history buff, art enthusiast, or theatre lover, UK cities have something to satisfy every interest. Explore world-class museums and galleries, catch a show at one of the many renowned theatres, or simply wander the streets and soak in the vibrant atmosphere.

With cottages.com, you can choose from a wide selection of self-catering cottages that will serve as your home away from home during your city break. Whether you prefer a cosy cottage or a stylish apartment in the heart of the city, we have options to suit every taste and budget. Imagine waking up to stunning views, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, and then setting out to explore all that your chosen city has to offer.

In addition to the cultural attractions, city breaks are an excellent opportunity to indulge in some shopping, dining, and relaxation. From trendy boutiques and markets to Michelin-starred restaurants and cosy cafes, UK cities are a foodie and shopaholic's paradise. Treat yourself to a spa day, sip cocktails at a rooftop bar, or simply wander the streets and take in the sights and sounds of city life.

One of the best things about a city break is the freedom to create your own itinerary and explore at your own pace. Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner, or with family and friends, there is always something new and exciting to discover.
