Child-Friendly Cottages Designed for Play
This collection brings together cottages that go beyond simply welcoming families. Many feature purpose-built play facilities, including soft play barns, trampolines, climbing frames, and outdoor play equipment, helping children burn off energy in safe, on-site environments. Facilities vary by property, so we recommend checking individual cottage listings to see what’s available.
Animal Encounters Children Will Love
Some cottages offer animal petting or farm-style experiences, giving children the chance to meet friendly animals and learn about rural life. These hands-on activities are often a highlight for younger children and add an extra layer of fun to a family break. Animal experiences vary by cottage and may be seasonal.
Fun Whatever the Weather
From indoor soft play areas to swimming pools and games rooms, many cottages offer facilities that help keep children entertained whatever the weather. This makes them ideal for school holidays, long weekends, and family getaways. Please refer to individual cottage descriptions for details of on-site facilities.
