Bosinver Farm Cottages

As an antidote to the 'nature deficit disorder' now said to be affecting children in Britain, the experience at Bosinver Farm cottages couldn't be more effective. Throwing you and your family firmly into the Great Outdoors, you can follow Farmer Dave to feed the animals and collect eggs from the hens; look out for wildlife and the Gruffalo on woodland trails; ride ponies; and light campfires, hunt bugs and build dens on the 'Wild Kids' programme. The cottages themselves are something else too – 20 of them, spread across 35 acres of wildflower meadows and gardens, they are nothing like your average farm-style cottage they  have a bright, contemporary designer style. There are dog-friendly cottages, plush farmhouses, converted barns and stables, a picture-perfect thatched cottages,  and even a stylish eco-house with bells and whistles galore. Leave your wellies at the door and life inside is laid-back and luxurious – stylish interiors, open-plan living, and every family holiday convenience at your fingertips, from cots and highchairs to a heated indoor pool, small gym, play barn and games room, plus outdoor play areas, woodland and lake to explore. And it's an enchanting spot for couples too, with a great selection of smaller, private cottages where you can curl up by the log burner.
