Devans00 asked:
I keep seeing that term in regards to accomodations, but I can’t figure out what they mean. I know bed and breakfast, hostel, hotel/motel, cottage and camping, but Self Catering is a new one on me.

It refers to accomodation with a kitchenette so that you can prepare your own meals. Usually a small fridge and stove, and maybe a microwave.
It means that you live in the accomadation as you would at home (ie you do all the cooking and cleaning yourself). You provide yourself, your clothes, and the food you require for the duration of the stay. Generally all the equipment you need (kitching & dining utensils, bedding, towels etc) are provided you in your chosen accomadation.
This can be more economical if you are a holidaying as a family or going away for a long period (a week or more) anything less and a guest house or hotel is best.
