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.
Keeping the kids occupied and entertained is key to an enjoyable family getaway. And while that’s not too difficult to do when you pick a destination like Ramsgate, where there are countless nearby attractions, it’s still worthwhile having a list of fun games ready and waiting for when boredom starts to creep in.
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?
