Planning a multi-generational family holiday - with grandparents, parents, children, and even pets in tow - can feel like a challenge. But when you find the right place, it becomes a memory-making experience you’ll treasure forever.

At The Cottage Beyond in beautiful Somerset, we specialise in hosting unforgettable getaways for families of all shapes and sizes. Here's how to plan the perfect multi-generational holiday that everyone will love.

1. Choose Accommodation That Suits Everyone

One of the biggest challenges of a multi-generational holiday is finding somewhere that suits everyone's needs - from energetic toddlers to relaxed grandparents.
At The Cottage Beyond, we offer:

• Spacious, luxury bedrooms with en-suite options for privacy

• Ground floor bedrooms with easy access, ideal for older guests

• Large open-plan living spaces where everyone can come together

• Private gardens and plenty of outdoor space for safe play

2. Plan Activities for All Ages

The secret to a happy multi-generational trip? Plenty of activities for everyone - and The Cottage Beyond makes it easy.

• Splash about in the indoor heated pool

• Relax in the outdoor hot tub while younger members explore the grounds

• Challenge each other to a game in the private games room

• Enjoy nature walks straight from the doorstep

• Explore local Somerset attractions like Wellington Monument, Hestercombe Gardens, and Exmoor National Park

3. Allow for Downtime

Holidays aren't all about action.
With luxurious spaces and countryside surroundings, The Cottage Beyond offers the perfect chance to:

• Read quietly in a sunny corner

• Nap after a long lunch in the garden

• Take slow strolls through the wildflower meadows

Plan a loose itinerary with plenty of flexible downtime. Sometimes the best memories are made from unplanned moments.

4. Share Meals Without the Stress

Eating together is a huge part of any family holiday - and The Cottage Beyond makes it easy and enjoyable.

• Huge farmhouse-style dining table for relaxed meals

• Fully equipped kitchen for enthusiastic home cooks

• BBQ area for sunny evenings

• Recommend local catering services if you fancy a night off

Tip: Plan a family feast night - think Somerset beef on the grill, local cheeses, and plenty of laughter.

5. Capture the Moments

A multi-generational holiday is precious - so don’t forget to capture the memories.

• Group photos outside the cottage

• Candid shots of fun moments: games, nature walks, kids splashing

• Family portraits with the beautiful Somerset backdrop

If you want to go one step further, we can recommend local photographers who specialise in family holiday photo shoots.
