Breaks Fit for a Queen (or King!)

After the glitzy premiere of the second series of The Crown last week and yesterday’s engagement announcement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it’s fair to say that the nation is experiencing another bout of Royal Fever!

As we sit poised to press play on the show as soon as it arrives to Netflix on 8th December, there’s never been a better time to book a break inspired by the Royals! Whether it’s a property owned by the Royal Family, a cottage close to pubs preferred by the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, or a house near to prominent filming locations on the show - cottages.com and its family of brands have a selection of properties that will help you live like royalty.
