Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to inquire about the availability of your countryside cottage for a weekend stay. My friends and I are planning a short trip and are very interested in renting your property.

We would like to book the cottage from Friday, 18th October to Sunday, 20th October. Our group consists of six people, and we are looking for a comfortable and peaceful place to relax and enjoy nature.

Could you please let us know if the cottage is available on those dates? We would also appreciate some additional information about the facilities. For example, does the cottage have a barbecue area, a fireplace, and enough parking space for two cars? Additionally, we would like to know if bed linen and towels are provided.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name]
