Family Activity Holidays

Activity holidays are a popular option for families with older children.

Outdoor Activities are a great way of tiring kids out, keeping them off technology and giving parents contented children and argument free, enjoyable evenings.  Sea Fern Cottage is in a great location to have fun in the great outdoors. Whether it’s water sports or land-based activities you love, there’s something for everyone on this stretch of Yorkshire Coast.
