Are you planning a family holiday to the Peak District and need a four bedroomed cottage to accommodate the children and the pet dog?
A four bedroomed holiday home is what most families require for a comfortable existence so that all children can have a bedroom each just as they would at home. The self-catered properties displayed on this page are all in the Peak District, have four bedrooms and allow guests to bring at least one dog.
Settling into a Peak District holiday home
Family living on holiday transposes from home to an unfamiliar cottage somewhere in the Peak District. On arrival, all rooms are explored and the children compete for the best bedrooms unless allocated in advance. Parents usually begin with a drink of tea or coffee. A welcome hamper is often left to greet new guests. This may contain, cake or biscuits to have with drinks.
Getting used to a holiday home with different appliances is easier if they are similar to the ones that we are used to. No one wants to have to read an instruction manual but there is usually one available as part of the house information. The chore part of the holiday is to stock the house with sufficient food and drink for your family to keep the children happy. That can be easily achieved by booking a supermarket delivery for the evening of your arrival. The children could then help put items away. They will have a vested interest in where their snacks and drinks go.
Do not forget the dog food
The family dog is another mouth to feed, so do not forget the dog food. Pet-friendly holiday homes sometimes have spare bowls and even a dog bed but not proper food although there may be a few dog treats in the welcome pack.
The first day of the holiday in the Peak District dawns
The real first day of your holiday begins the day after you arrive since check-in time is usually after 4pm so that it’s evening by the time you are all unpacked, settled and fed. The Peak District awaits in all its glory tomorrow. The children will undoubtedly have a list of places that they want to visit and there are plenty of caverns, cycle trails, Gulliver’s Kingdom and the cable cars at the Heights of Abraham in Matlock Bath. There is a lot of fun to be had in the Peak District. Enjoy.
