Planning a Summer Staycation?
Everyone will tell you that having a baby is life changing.
What also changes is the ability to easily, if at all, book a last minute break to Europe or beyond.
Since having our beautiful baby in March last year, we’ve decided to summer staycation for all but one of our holidays when we ventured to Brittany in France.
We’ve been pleasantly surprised at how easy and fun a staycation is compared with travelling overseas.
Now we look for a family friendly place to stay, open countryside to visit, local farm shops around the corner and all within relatively close proximity to London to ease the driving time for ourselves and baby. We often have family and friends join us when we staycation so being able to select a large self catering holiday home is essential.
There’s nothing better than hiring a cottage in the countryside where we know we will be guaranteed peace, tranquility and the joy of beaches, forests and bridal paths for walking and cycling on our doorstep.
We love being able to have a home away from home and enjoy the simple things in life, especially time together as a family outside our busy London life. We like to cook our own meals, have a BBQ in the garden and visit local pubs within walking distance of our holiday cottage.
We had our first holiday with our baby in Orford and it was truly wonderful. We’re back there soon for another summer staycation and we can’t wait!
