A self catering holiday is just what it suggests.
Feel complete freedom without the restrictions of having to get back in time for your meal at the hotel. Create your own menus and cook your own locally supplied produce or just light the barbeque. Have breakfast on the deck, dinner in the lodge or picnic out on the grass-the choice is all yours.
