Family Self Catering Cottages

Self-catering accommodation can be better value as the size of your group and accommodation grows. Renting a farmhouse for a rural holiday for a family of 10 people is likely to be extremely good value when considered per head. People love to stay in farmhouses on holiday because the larger 5 bedroom ones are so very spacious. The huge farmhouse kitchens are to die for. Imagine a kitchen with an enormous central table to seat 10, a range cooker and plenty of cupboard space for kitchen equipment without stacking. This type of kitchen is the heart of a holiday home, a place where all members of a family and friends gather for tea, breakfast and conversation.

Old farmhouses were solidly built in years gone by; rooms are private and relatively sound-proof, bedrooms are usually a good size unless under the eaves. There may be some interesting features, perhaps cupboards built in under sloping ceilings or a bed fitted into an alcove. Once thing is for certain, there will be ample living space for a large family on holiday.

A garden is a welcome feature even if the farmhouse remains in the heart of the countryside. Anyone with children or a dog understands the usefulness of allowing them out to play outside in safety. A large garden also allows room to spread out, a place to sit and read a book or doze in the sun.

It is worth friends getting together and renting a farmhouse between them, especially of both have children that get on together. Parents and kids can enjoy company on holiday. The cost will be shared and it could result in a relatively cheap family holiday depending on where you stay and the season.
