Self-Catering can also be the most cost-effective way to enjoy a break in the area.

If you don’t fancy cooking one evening, order a take-away delivered direct to your door.
If you fancy a lie-in, after all you are on holiday, there is no need to worry about missing breakfast. Cook your own hearty start to the day whenever you choose.
