Our holiday cottages provide spacious holiday accommodation in Somerset, giving you plenty of peaceful areas to relax right on your doorstep.
We understand that planning a getaway can sometimes be a time-consuming task, so in this blog we’ve collected our best tips to help make organising your short breaks in Somerset a breeze.
1. Plan Ahead
Booking a last-minute trip can be exhilarating, but it can also be stressful, especially if you’re planning a trip for the whole family. When planning your weekend breaks in Somerset, it’s beneficial to plan in plenty of time, as holiday accommodation in Somerset can get booked up quickly!
While you’re planning your short breaks in Somerset, it also helps to research some sights and attractions to see what interests you. Somerset has an abundance of things to do, from beautiful gardens and beaches to quaint shopping streets and fantastic restaurants. Researching the area helps you narrow down your perfect itinerary and takes the stress out of choosing what to do each day while you’re away.
2. Book Accommodation in Advance
Having a great place to stay makes a short break even more special. Booking your accommodation in advance ensures that you can pick from all the best places to stay. Booking in advance can also help you secure the best offers.
Our holiday cottages in Somerset have everything you need to enjoy your short break, with spectacular views in and around the cottages. They are easy to get to by car and are just a short drive away from the sandy beaches where you can soak up the sun. They’re like your home away from home, with self-catering kitchens to make sure there’s something for everyone.
3. Pack Strategically
When preparing for a getaway, it can be easy to overpack, especially when the whole family is involved. This is why packing strategically for your short break in Somerset is a great way to minimise packing time. First, it’s important to pack the essentials that you know you can’t go without. Next, consider the climate and activities you need to prepare for. Your organised itinerary from earlier will make this a lot easier, so you don’t end up packing more than you’ll need. Sharing items like toiletries will also help you pack lighter.
To help with your packing, it’s also beneficial to check the kind of amenities your accommodation has. For example, our holiday cottages in Somerset provide you with complementary high-speed internet, self-catering kitchens, self-serve laundry, and a washing machine, so you can prioritise versatile items.
4. Embrace The Outdoors
Planning your weekend breaks in Somerset means that there are loads of places where you can embrace the outdoors. Day trips in nature are a great way to see the local sights and are less expensive than some other attractions, as self-catering kitchens mean you can pack your own picnic.
Our holiday accommodation in Somerset is surrounded by a 12-acre lake and fields, which means there are some great outdoor activities right on your doorstep. There are easy to use BBQ facilities, which is a great activity for the whole family to enjoy, and it even comes with a tasty reward. Our private lake also means that it’s perfect for fishing and allows you to enjoy the peace of sitting by the water’s edge. If all this outdoor space sounds great to you, book your short breaks in Somerset so you and your family can enjoy the sunshine for yourselves!
