A full family holiday is long due and that includes my parents, my grandparents and my five year old daughter. I was brainstorming on which place to go s that it could be comfortable for the aged grandparents and also relaxing for us. Family holiday is not about sightseeing totally, its more on the quality time spent with everyone while you can just have some “me” time. Moreover walking around endlessly for sightseeing with a five year old isn't a good idea too. There's always eating issues with kids and even grandparents can't have everything outside. However my husband came up with an awesome idea and put an end to all my dilemmas. And the idea was- Cottage Holidays! For those who are unaware just like I was what it is, let me tell you! There are cottages available on rent which are fully furnished with a furnished kitchen or kitchenette too! Wow, isn't that amazing that now you can have your cup of tea anytime! The biggest advantage is the flexibility we experienced with everyone. We relaxed in a homely atmosphere and cooked up small meals together and also did some sightseeing on our convenience. We found a cottage in Connoor, close to Ooty and it was such an amazing location near the hills. The sight of my grandparents relaxing in the garden watching the mountains and inhaling fresh air and my parents chit chatting was so satisfactory. My kid had great fun too while playing around with her grandparents. We enjoyed privacy and the character of the property was very inviting. So, next time when you are planning such family get togethers ask your friends or search online. I bet you will bless me after spending great time with your folks. Its time for family time!
