Why Cottages are the Best Holiday Option for Young Families

The Lake District is an amazing place to come on holiday with a young family, and a Coppermines Lake District cottage is the perfect base to help you manage the whole family, so they all have a great time. From breakfast time to bath time a lake district cottage can be your home from home, ensuring you get the most out of your lake district holiday.

Perfect Cottages for Young Families

Hiring a cottage for your holiday delivers a lot of benefits, especially if you have younger children with you. Not only is it a great base from which to operate but you also get a professionally run cottage with all the amenities you need for a great stay.

Eat When You Like

There is no need to get up at a specific time for breakfast as you can serve it as soon as everyone is up and ready, be that 6am or 10am! You don’t have to get the kids dressed and looking presentable to go to a hotel dining room for breakfast or constantly check the time in case you miss the breakfast window!

Making packed lunches are easy in the well-equipped kitchens and taking a picnic with you on your lake district adventures is both budget friendly and family friendly as you can snack and eat when the kids are ready, and you don’t have to spend time looking for a local tea shop or pub for lunch. Evening meals are also so convenient when you have your own kitchen.

Cook separate meals for the kids and then enjoy a meal together when they have gone to bed, have a BBQ in the garden or a big family meal around the dining table. There are also a great number of pubs and restaurants within easy reach of our cottages for when you don’t want to cook at all. The joy of a cottage is the choice and flexibility, so you can have a holiday to your family’s unique schedule and no one else’s.

Less Stress

We all like stress free holidays but that’s not always possible when you have kids in tow. Children tend to settle more quickly when they are in a home or cottage they can explore, rather than a hotel where they may be a little more constrained.

Many cottages have great gardens where kids can play and run off steam, where you can set them games and challenges to keep them busy while you relax with coffee and cake! Cottages have the same flexibility of a home with lots of rooms where your family can have quiet time, play games or have a nap.

Cottages in Great Locations

There is no bad place to stay in the Lake District, but we do recommend a holiday cottage in and around the Coniston area. Small, beautiful with just the right amenities and facilities on your doorstep, Coniston is a hidden joy for family holidays. Making a Coniston Cottage your holiday base is the perfect way to explore all areas of the Lake District.

An Affordable Home Away from Home

Cottages are a great option for young families as they are extremely budget friendly. Not only do they offer great value for money when compared with other Lake District accommodation, having a kitchen where you can make your own meals and pack lunches ensures you can spend as much or as little as you want on your Lake District holiday.

Young families need space, flexibility and a range of activities close by to keep all the family entertained. That is why a Lake District cottage is the best option for young families and The Coppermines have a great range to choose from!
