Lake District Cottage Holidays

Holiday are after all, about having fun together and a holiday cottages in the Lake District can give your family the space and change of pace they need to relax in a new environment and enjoy each other’s company again.
Here are a few reasons why Cottages work so well for family holidays:

Space – If you book a holiday cottage with an extra living room than you have at home, give each child a room of their own if they share at home, or book a cottage with one more bedroom than you need then there will instantly be more space than your family is used to giving everyone a place to call their very own. A cottage with an outdoor space or lots of quirky nooks can also achieve this feeling. Especially if you have teenagers, look for reading nooks, garden benches and extra TV’s so that curling up with a book or watching a movie can be done easily and without argument!

Food – A well fed family is often a happy family and having a kitchen at your disposal means meals, snacks, picnics and BBQ’s are all easily achievable. If your family has different dietary requirements or they eat at different times, or just like to snack during the day then a kitchen gives you the ultimate freedom in keeping everyone happy. It also means that those families who love to cook together can whip up family feasts, and those who love to bake can create cupcakes and teatime treats for everyone to enjoy.

Bad Weather Retreat – It is no secret that the weather in the Lake District can be changeable! If you have a wet weather day, or a few in a row then getting out in the fells for another wet day may not be an option and cottage ensure you have an indoor retreat. Many cottages are stacked with books, family games and DVD’s so you can have indoor adventures when the weather is not co-operating.

Home from Home – There is something really lovely about renting a cottage in the Lake District that you just don’t get from any other type of accommodation. Having a real home away from home is comforting and relaxing as you can get up when you want, eat when you want and what you want. There are no worries about waking other guests up if you come in late or missing breakfast times if you want to sleep in. You can run your family holiday on your schedule and sink into a sofa at the end of a busy family day and watch TV if you want to!

Cottage Locations – Depending on the type of Lake District family holiday you are looking for choosing a cottage in the centre of a village so you can walk to the pub may be important to you, or alternatively you may want to be away from it all with lots of walks on your doorstep so you don’t need to drive. Whatever type of holiday you are looking for there will be a cottage for you.
