HELP WITH DEFINITIONS

SELF CATERING in the UK means that the property, normally a cottage, house, or bungalow, is completely self contained.  'Self Contained' is the description used in the southern hemisphere, 'Vacation Rental' is the phrase used in North America.

GUEST HOUSE has all sorts of connotations, particularly if you come from the States.  In the UK Guest House generally means providers that are not quite a Hotel but more like a bed and breakfast in their approach but having more than two letting bedrooms. Normally, also, they may provide an evening meal.  Most bed and breakfasts have a 'closed time' during the day but Guest Houses tend to be more flexible.
