Family Self Catering Cottages

Holiday accommodation is not a choice that should be rushed. Essentially, you are choosing a home away from home for the time that you’re away and obviously you want to be sure that you make the right choice. It needs to be spacious enough to prevent arguments and have all the facilities that you’re used to at home, plus maybe some others to make it just that little bit more special, ensuring that it is a holiday that you’ll remember for a very long time. You’re spending your hard earned money on your accommodation after all and your accommodation can really help to make your holiday so you definitely don’t want to be disappointed by your choice.

It can be really hard if you’re trying to decide on accommodation for a large group. You want to ensure that you have something that will suit everyone and will have enough space that everyone doesn’t feel like they are having to live on top of each other - you may like each other when you’re at home but you might end up being less than friendly if you’re constantly bumping into each other! One option that is brilliant for taking away this worry is choosing to stay in a farm house. These tend to be really quite spacious, often sleeping around eight people meaning that you know that everyone will have their own bit of space if they need a break from each other. There aren’t really many other types of accommodation that can sleep so many people so comfortably, so if you’re looking for somewhere for a big group to stay then a farm house is definitely a good choice, whether you’re a large family or a group of friends.

Staying in a farm house can really make you feel like you are staying in the countryside. Due to the original use of the farm house, they tend to be set into areas with lots of land and are often found in more southern areas of England such as Cornwall. This means that they are great for if you’re looking for a more back to nature feel for your holiday or if you just want to be surrounded by breathtaking scenery either. While the setting means that there may not be much traditional entertainment near, there is still plenty that you can do if you choose to stay in a farm house. There will be plenty of country walks nearby and there may even be the option to try out activities such as quad biking, depending on where you’re staying. You really don’t have to worry about being bored, and if you’re willing to drive, you will reach plenty more activities in no time, making a country farm house a brilliant base for whatever you want to do while you’re away.

National parks tend to feature quite a few farmhouses since historically the land was once farmed more extensivelt than it is now. There are quite a few self-catering farmhouses for 8 people or more to rent in the north west of England, the Lake District and also in the Yorkshire Dales and Moors.

If you’re looking to go away as a large group, a country farm house can really ensure that you get all the space that you’ll need and in the perfect surroundings for that complete break away from everyday life.
