Family Self Catering Cottages

Family breaks to a farmhouse are a wonderful way for your children to experience an exciting and different environment, and they will adore staying here if they love animals. Renting a charming farmhouse that sleeps 6 within a national park with chickens and other animals residing in the grounds will be a fun and educational time for your kids, who can explore their surroundings and get to know the daily goings-on of life on a quaint and lovely farm.

Farmhouses for 6 are rustic and spacious, with a great charisma about them. There is nothing quite like waking up to the natural sounds of a cockerel cock-a-doodle-doing, and you may even get to sample some fresh produce such as milks and eggs when on your farmhouse cottage break. For farmhouses that are located on working farms such as these, guests may get to pet or even fed some of the animals, such as lambs, pigs and cows, and children will absolutely love staying in a place surrounded by all of these new animals, sights, sounds and smells.

National Parks across the country, from Snowdonia National Park to the Lake District, are home to large farmhouses that can be rented for a self-catering break for 6. These houses come with gorgeous and bright country kitchens, with wooden furnishings and all of the equipment you will need when preparing your favourite meals. They have wonderful bedrooms with great views over the countryside, and enclosed gardens for if you have any children who like running around – this way they can run around without you worrying about where they have got to! For quiet evenings in, there are television sets with DVD players, and some farmhouses come equipped with board games for rainy afternoons. Cots and highchairs are available and are very handy for if you are travelling with babies, as you will not have to bring your own from home.

Farmhouse breaks are a great way to really get back to nature and get stuck into the rural way of life. If you come from a city then the change will feel very different, and with fresh air and a lack of crowds, you and your family will really settle into life on a farm. As these farmhouses are located within a national park, there is so much for you to see and do on the days when you explore further afield, such as places of historical and cultural interest, heritage homes and castles, mountains, lakes and other incredible scenery. You will feel miles away from busy high streets, smog and public transport, and going on this type of holiday is the perfect way to relax and unwind in a serene setting.

Whisking your family away on a farmhouse break for 6 in a national park will be a trip that your loved one and your children will remember with fond memories forever. Being around friendly animals and a new environment is a great way to spend a break with the people you love most in a gorgeous location.
