For starters, the whole idea of holiday cottages is that they are self-catering. A restaurant or cafeteria is something you'd find at a resort. Occasionally I've seen a farm conversion which has a B&B and a couple of holiday cottages where the B&B could provide meals by special arrangement, but that's rare. > firepit, > Firepit, barbeque, swimming pool, fishing pond are all things I've seen with a group of holiday cottages. > maybe sauna or lake access. > I've not seen a sauna. A couple of hot tubs (we don't have a good official way to tag them as the wiki recommendation of Jacuzzi is a registered trademark). I'd say a sauna is highly unusual for holiday cottages in the UK, but might be common in Nordic countries. > > But without extensive entertainment infrastructure that would qualify for > leisure=resort. > Also without the restaurant/cafe you suggested. > > Would it be a good idea to revert this two edits and fully restore > recommendation > to use tourism=chalet for group of chalets? > I would say it's a bad idea for tourism=chalet to apply to both individual holiday cottages and to groupings. It makes it harder to figure out how many there are. A building tagged with it might be an individual holiday cottage but I've seen a long barn converted to three holiday cottages. A number of buildings within an outline might all be holiday cottages or a couple of holiday cottages and a couple of farm buildings. Or maybe we need a new tag? > I think we need a new tag. Either a boundary or a relation. Note also that there may be hybrids. Just as we've come to the realization that caravan parks may allow some tents and camping grounds may allow some caravans, some farms offer holiday cottages and camping. It gets messy. -- Paul
