i only stayed in one self catering cottage, but i must say, for someone who is planning an extended stay (like three weeks) a self catering cottage is definitely the way to go!
most cottages are family run, with no corporate shenanigans, of course, the lodgings are expected to meet accomodation standards!
many cottages charge weekly, which is where you save loads of money, especially by sharing with friends or family, and some even give deals if you stay for extended periods!

in all im very impressed with the self catering idea, just remember to budget for food as well!
Unique Qualities: some self catering cottages will require you to bring your own linens (such as towels, bed sheets, etc) so be prepared to look into this if you plan to stay in one.
all cottages are equipped with fridge, stove, microwaves and semi private or fully private baths. it depends on the cottage, so be sure to read up on the amenities in full.
because cottages are family run as well, the family is usually more than willing to help you find your way around, some provide booklets and maps of the area, and many will assist you in planning itineraries.
cottages are a great idea if youre staying with children, seniors, people with disabilities, and even pets!! (pets and disability access vary from cottage to cottage, so be sure to keep an eye out for those that meet these requirements should you need them!)
