Hertfordshire
Holiday Cottages
Staying in a self catering cottage in Hertfordshire usually brings with it the huge advantage of being within easy access of London. From East Hertfordshire it's also an easy trip to Cambridge too: Cambridge holiday accommodation is hard to come by, but a pleasant Hertfordshire cottage, perhaps just over the border near Royston, in Hertfordshire, might be an alternative. A rural Hertfordshire holiday cottage can be a surprise for most people, as this occasionally quite hilly county - cyclists testify to that - is studded with quiet villages tucked away along country lanes that could be hundreds of miles from the metropolis. Places to see might include Ashwell (a good pub), Frithsden (ditto!), Ayot St Lawrence (double ditto!) - where George Bernard Shaw spent his last years. Geographically this is a wide and shallow county, spreading from
Buckingham in the west to Essex in the east. A thatched holiday
cottage in or near in the west of Hertfordshire, near the Buckinghamshire
border, would be well placed to make trip into the 'Oxfordshire
Cotswolds'.
Among places in which it would be possible to have a deceptively
deeply rural Hertfordshire cottage with quick access to Central
London are delightful Little Gaddesden and Aldbury - both of them,
astonishingly for most people, a comfortable drive from the London
Underground railhead - Metropolitan Line - at Amersham.
