Child friendly family selfcatering cottages

Every family hopes to take their children away for a summer holiday when the sun is shining and British weather is at its best. Cottage holidays and self-catering accommodation are the wisest choice for parents because they provide a safe and comfortable family environment; no one wants to keep their children confined to hotel rooms. Children need space to play, a garden where they can let off steam, somewhere where they can watch TV in comfort without distrurbing other guests.

A holiday in a self-catering cottage is the ideal solution for family breaks. Choose a family-friendly cottage which is furnished with things to entertain your children and robust enough for you not to worry about breakages or spillages. Holiday cottage in cottage complexes always have good provision for family breaks; look for swing parks, sand pits, trampolines, cycle hire and a host of varied amenities. One of the best family oriented web sites for family cottage holidays is www.family-selfcatering-cottage-holidays.co.uk - here you can find a cottage break that is perfect for your family. Add it to your Favourites so that you can find it easily later.

Larger holiday parks often have a swimming pool that will provide hours of fun splashing and playing in the water.

Take along a few inflatable toys to maximise the children's enjoyment; a giant beach ball, inflatable boats and lilos. This will keep the children active and amused for much of the holiday, you might even have trouble in persuading them out.

A favourite family holiday choice is a seaside break, especially for younger children. Holidays by the sea are pleasant and easy and there is always plenty to see and do. We are fortunate to have such a long coastline in Britain with so many good beaches and established seaside resorts. It is very convenient to be near a beach although sadly this is not always affordable for families because prices rise with proximity to the beach.

The alternative is to stay in the countryside, just outside a seaside town, and travel in each time you want to spend a day on the beach. This can have added benefits of a country stay in that you may also enjoy cycling, pony trekking and woodland walks with the kids.

One thing that you can be assured of when you rent a fmaily holiday cottage is that it will be supplied with everything for a satisying and good family experience. Some cottages specialise in holidays for children in various age groups so expect to find that baby-friendly holiday cottages can provide you with cots, bottle warmers and highchairs, cottages for older children should have games and toys and so on. It pays to look around and find a self-catering break that fits your family's interests.
