With our beautiful beaches and (almost all year round) fantastic weather, a beach holiday is often a first choice for families looking to get away from it all. Beach holidays make many of us think about relaxing on the sand, strolling by the seaside, and lazing about with family and friends – especially if it’s at a self-catering beach cottage holiday.
Going on a beach holiday can fun, relaxing, and rejuvenating. Especially when you get to set up a home away from home in the most comfortable of self-catering settings – we’re talking about the Ramsgate Cottage, of course!
One of the great benefits of a self-catering holiday is the freedom to eat what you want, how you want, on your own timetable. And if you’re enjoying time away in a stunning seaside spot like the surrounds at Ramsgate Cottage, all it takes is some proper planning and creative inspiration to make meal times into beautiful memories.
The chance to take daily strolls along the shoreline is just one of many reasons to choose a holiday by the sea at a place like Ramsgate Cottage. A leisurely walk on the beach calms the mind and exercises the body – in short, it’s good for you and the kids. But there are a number of factors to consider if you want to get the most out of a seaside saunter. To help you along, we’ve jotted down some handy advice for better beach walking.
Although we plan holidays to escape our everyday routine and get some rest and relaxation, taking kids along often means you need to maintain some form of routine to keep them comfortable and happy. It doesn’t need to be an exact replica of everyday life, we’ve got some simple ways to introduce small elements of your daily routine into your holiday.
These days, it’s so easy to sit kids in front of a screen to keep them busy and occupied. But on holiday, kids should be exploring and having fun without the need for their smart devices or technology. At Ramsgate Cottage, we encourage being together as a family and enjoying each other’s company, so we don’t have a TV in the cottage, and we love it!
It’s so special to get everyone together for a family holiday, especially somewhere as relaxing as Ramsgate. Including everyone in the holiday also means different preferences and different needs for each person. If Granny’s coming along, there are some things you need to note before leaving on your trip.
Holidays (especially those that include the beach or a lovely swimming pool like at Ramsgate Cottage) are supposed to be full of relaxing, outdoors fun. And what better way to enjoy some fun on the sand and in the water than in a beach cottage?
Taking a holiday with your friends sounds like loads of fun (and it sure can be!) but it’s not always guaranteed to be smooth sailing. Take different personalities in a different context to the one at home, plus loads more time than usual spent in each other’s company and you might end up with irritations or even a conflict or two.
When it comes to the perfect family holiday – one that caters to everyone’s needs in a home-from-home fashion, we say self-catering is best. Self-catering allows you and your family to relax and enjoy your break at your own pace. And, if you’re at Ramsgate Cottage, you’ll also enjoy the perfect combination of homely comforts, those little luxury extras, and beautiful surrounds... not to mention the wealth of activities on offer in and around our beautiful cottage.
Going on holiday is about getting away from it all but it doesn’t mean you have to give up on your exercise routine. When it comes to a self-catering break, it’s the perfect opportunity to feast, relax, and enjoy some real down time with your family while still keeping your fitness where it should be.
Easter on the coast often calls for a weekend away or close to the sea – even better self-catering holiday accommodation on the beach (thank you, Ramsgate Cottage!). Easter also often means a big family lunch.
