Child Friendly Cottage Holidays
From Responsible Travel
For many families a cottage holiday is by far the most convenient holiday option - no fixed timetables and you can cook the food that you know everyone will eat particularly if anyone in your family has special dietary needs.
Here are some ideas from Responsible Travel for family friendly UK cottage holidays from owners committed to supporting the local people & environment.
Wolsingham, Durham
Surrounded by fields and gently rolling hills, the cottage is in an area designated to be ‘of outstanding natural beauty’. Whether walking the fells, fishing on Tunstall Reservoir, biking, horse riding in Hamsterley forest, visiting the many historical landmarks or just relaxing in the garden, time spent at the cottage will refresh and invigorate the senses.
For families there are books and games are provided to keep all ages amused as well as a games room, including table tennis and table football. The cottage would make an excellent bae for visiting many of the North East's attractions including Durham Cathedral, Beamish, Hadrians's Wall, Newcastle and Gateshead.
Buxton, Derbyshire
Dramatic scenery, historic buildings and cutting-edge sustainability combine to make this farm a memorable year-round holiday destination. Set in a peaceful and secluded location close to Buxton and Bakewell, the farm occupies a stunning position in one of the Peak District’s most breathtaking valleys.
There are four cottages at this location and for families they have table football and pool is available in a communal games room, and indoor and outdoor games, a library of children’s videos and DVDs. It is a great starting point for visiting Alton Towers, Chatsworth House, Gulliver's World and Haddon Hall.
Weymouth, Dorset
Weymouth is a very popular holiday destination as it offers a beautiful coast and beaches as well as lakes, museums and an aquarium. There are over two hundred events held throughout the year including firework festivals, dragon boat racing, beach volleyball, handball, motocross, and the annual carnival in mid-August.
This charming traditional stone cottage at the heart of the original fishing village close to harbour and marina has a large paved garden, ideal for evening barbeques! From here you can explore the seaside town of Weymouth, the dramatic Portland peninsula, World Heritage Coast and Dorset countryside.
Winkleigh, Devon
This farm, includes a private but nationally-recognised nature reserve. home to scarce animals and plants including barn owls, dormice and orchids, as well as swallows, deer, foxes, badgers, occasional otters, and many hedgerow birds.
There are three peaceful wooden lodges here, set in a wildflower meadow where owls hunt at dusk. For families there are free bikes, and the cottage is located at the end of a long private drive with no public paths crossing the land, so kids can roam.
Omagh, Northern Ireland
This is a remote, peaceful, small family friendly self catering hostel nestling at the edge of the Sperrin mountains, where you can breathe fresh air, wander green valleys, cycle on deserted roads and eat organic vegetables and fruit in season. Nearby you can go orienteering, canoeing and fishing.
For families the farm offers the freedom to roam, help to feed the pigs, come and pick vegetables, climb in the old tree and to play with the hostel dogs Bonzo and Ike or pet the cat Tigger!

California Cliffs Holiday Park
As our family are great beach lovers, any chance to feel the sand between our toes is always going to be a winner. The opportunity to go to Norfolk rather than our usual comfort zone of Devon and Cornwall, while still getting the longed for beach experience was very exciting too, for two small boys, their parents and Grandma too (Babysitter? You bet!).
Travel Sickness Solutions
Travel sickness occurs when small repetitive movements such as those experienced in a car, boat or aeroplane mean that the brain is sent different messages – your body is sitting still but your eyes tell you that you are moving. Children are more prone to travel sickness than adults, and many children grow out of it.
Camping Village Fabulous, Italy
Want a fun, cost-effective alternative to a hotel city break? Then join the growing number of switched on families who are opting to go on a metropolitan mobile home holiday, the latest way for those travelling with children to enjoy some of Europe's most spectacular sights.
