Farm Holidays where your Kids can Connect with Nature

When it comes to family fun in the countryside, staying on a working farm can be great fun.  Most children enjoy meeting and seeing animals and teaching kids where our food comes from can be fascinating for kiddies and parents alike.  Help your kids connect with nature on a farm holiday.

At some farms, children can even feed the animals and some farms offer tractor rides for younger kids.   Whether you want to choose a farm where there are pigs, donkeys or horses, there is an exciting array of options to choose from on CountryCottagesOnline.Net.

Self-Catering Family Holidays near a Beach

If you have in mind a coastal holiday for your brood, renting a holiday cottage near to a beach can make a lot of sense.  Coastal holidays are particularly attractive for summer holidays where you may be able to enjoy rockpooling with the kids, making sandcastles or other fun times by the seaside.

For many families the ideal is actually renting a cottage just a walk away from the local beach, where there is no need to take the car and search around for parking.  Remember beaches can vary, some are pebbly, others sandy.  If you want to holiday near a sandy beach, remember to check out the local beach at the holiday home you're interested in before booking.  It may also be worth asking owners what sort of facilities are available for children at the local beach too!
