It is always easier to cook in a holiday cottage using the same type of cooker that is used at home. No one wants to read a manual before cooking a meal for hungry children – it’s enough to take off the apron and head for the nearest pub.
Families look forward to their cottage breaks in Wales; the beaches, mountains and freedom and parents also need their escape from domestic chores. A self-catering holiday in a cottage or rented farmhouse does not need to be overly burdensome, choose accommodation that matches your needs and your children’s needs to start on a good footing.
Ideally, your holiday home kitchen will have appliances that are familiar to you and easy to operate. It’s reassuring to be able to settle in, put the kettle on a enjoy tea and Welsh cakes without any bother. Few people do much real cooking during a self-catering cottage break in Wales, it’s more reheating and barbecuing in the garden.
The thought of using an Aga or sophisticated oven and hob can be problematic for any holidaymaker not used to it. The trouble with many smart gadgets is that they require an expert user and holidaymakers just want to press buttons and go.
It might seem a trifle too much, but do spend some time choosing the right holiday cottage in Wales where you and your family will be happy.
