Family Self Catering Cottages

When you’re choosing to go away on holiday, one of the most crucial decisions that you will make, besides where you want to go, is the accommodation that you will stay in. You want something that will suit your family down to the ground and that will be big enough and comfortable enough for you to all feel relaxed staying in. After all, a holiday is about relaxing and enjoying something new - whether it’s activities or accommodation.

One particularly appealing type of accommodation nowadays is a bungalow. Gone are the days when they were strictly for the elderly, bungalows now have a more inclusive image, making them a brilliant option for a holiday rental for all your family. Having said this though, choosing a bungalow is a very sensible choice if you are taking elderly people or people with mobility issues away with you as it simply takes away the worry of them having to negotiate stairs at all. This helps everyone feel just that little bit less stressed and ensures that no one is worrying about their safety while you’re away. Some bungalows also come with wet rooms as opposed to bathrooms which can make things such as washing and showering easier for people with mobility issues too as they are often quite well adapted and so this is something to consider as it ensures that all the cottage is safely and easily accessible for everyone.

While you wouldn’t expect it to really make that much of a difference, staying in a bungalow while you’re away on holiday will feel massively different if you’re used to living in a house with multiple floors. Bungalows tend to have a more open plan feel and give a feeling of closeness no matter where you are in the building, making them brilliant for a family holiday. They aren’t necessarily the most spacious of buildings, but a bungalow could be perfect accommodation for your family of 4, especially if you’re trying to ensure that everyone is brought together to enjoy some real family bonding time while you’re away.

With bungalows often being quite quaint, they do tend to be in towns and villages rather than extremely rural countryside. This can be a massive advantage though, meaning that you get to enjoy everything that the town or village has to offer while you’re away and ensuring that you aren’t stuck in the middle of nowhere for your holiday. However, if something more rural is what you are after, with a little bit of research, rural bungalows can be found, for example set into the cliffs in Wales. This is something obviously very different and unusual but it does exist and is bound to give you a holiday you’ll never forget.

Taking a holiday in a rented bungalow is perfect for groups of about 4 people and whether you need it to be accessible or not, having no stairs is never going to be an issue for anyone. Whether you want town or countryside, with a bit of research you’re bound to find the perfect bungalow for you.
