Family friendly short break holiday cottages, escape for a few days to the coast or the country with the children, find cottages for 2 nights, 3 nights and family weekend getaways on Country Cottages Online.

Why Book a Short Break Away with the Family?

Sometimes you only have a weekend or a few nights available for a getaway. With family friendly short break holiday cottages you can escape for a few days to the coast or the country with the kids, go beach combing, for walks or to see a festival. A short holiday of 3 or 4 days can be most beneficial, especially if you're fortunate with the weather. It is never long enough to get bored and if you have children under school age, take advantage of off peak periods, perhaps mid week, for the keenest prices.

Remember some cottages may only offer short breaks outside of school holidays, whereas others offer more flexibility with year round short break bookings welcome.

Popular Searches for Family-Friendly Short Breaks

Sought after child-friendly rentals include large family cottages for holidays for big families or extended families with grandparents for example, luxury cottages when you want a touch of style to enjoy with your tribe, and when budget is no option, family cottages with a pool are very popular for fun and splashing around.

Whether you opt for a short escape to Scotland, England, Wales or Ireland, we hope you find the best family cottage for a short break in the UK for your clan.
