Family Self Catering Cottages

Going on a self-catering holiday is a wonderful way of escaping from the routine of daily life and exploring a completely different place in the United Kingdom. Renting a large family cottage in the country can be relaxing and especially different if you are coming from the big city, where you can soak up the fresh country air and go on walks through valleys and mountains. There are plenty of these types of cottage available to rent that sleep up to 8 people, so all of your family can reside in the same place and experience the country and a different setting together.

The countryside in the UK is beautiful. Places like the Lake District in Cumbria and Snowdonia in north Wales are strikingly stunning and there is so much to do in these gorgeously fresh and charming places. Renting a cottage close to a lake or by a quiet beach can be a lovely way of unwinding with your family and you will never be short of things to do.

If you love to keep active then you can go hiking, cycling, horse riding and participate in countless other activities in beautiful parts of the country with your family, to really appreciate the area that you have chosen to holiday in. If your country cottage is by the sea in a small village, then you can go swimming, surfing and snorkelling in the waters, lapping up the atmosphere and scenery.

For those who like to take things a little easier when on a break, there is plenty to do. You can go on relaxing strolls by the shoreline or by a sparkling river, or you can visit museums and art galleries, historical houses and castles, to get a taste of culture. There will also be lots of cafes, restaurants and pubs in the places you are visiting, for when you are peckish.

As well as eateries in nearby villages to your country cottage that sleeps 8, you will have a fully-equipped kitchen where you can prepare your own meals and eat them in the comfort of your lodge in front of the television with a good film on. These family cottages come with cots and highchairs and are perfect for if you have children with you on your trip, and some even have toys and games available to keep the little ones occupied without you having to pack your suitcase full of their favourite dolls and puzzles!

Renting a large family country cottage that sleeps 8 is a brilliant idea if you have a large family that you want to keep all together on your travels. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and decorated in a homely manner, and after days of discovering new places, it is simply lovely to retreat back to the comfort of your cottage and spend some quality time with your family. There is so much to see in the country and it has an entirely different air than the big cities that you will feel a sense of tranquillity as soon as you enter – and you won’t want to leave!
