West Country holiday cottages for 12 people
The hippy dippy spiritual town centre of Glastonbury is a great place to stay for an interesting holiday with lots to see.

Glastonbury is in Somerset, one of the counties that comprises the West Country.
Heavily rural, the West Country is a very pretty holiday destination in south west England. There are holiday cottages galore to rent for self-catering holidays of a week or more. The larger self catering cottages for 12 can usually be rented for short breaks all year round.
- West Country cottages sleeping 12 - good quality self catering in Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Dorset
Cornwall, Devon and sometimes are Dorset are included in the term West Country. All these counties have a long coastline studded with beaches and places for a seaside break. Tourism is highly developed and anything and everything that tourists have ever expressed a desire for can be found there.
There are national parks and simply beautiful swathes of countryside in the West Country for walks, and picnics. Holiday cottages and self catering accommodation of all types abounds in Somerset, Cornwall, Devon and Dorset both in the country, on the coast and in towns.
Where you stay in the West Country should really be determined on how you plan to spend the majority of your holiday. 'Beach bums' should rent a cottage near the beach with parking, because parking is often restricted and limited in seaside locations.
Any groups looking for surfing holidays should head for north Cornwall and north Devon for the best waves.
