5 Ways To Guarantee A Relaxing Holiday

August 19, 2016

Going on holiday with your family is usually a great way to spend time together and give everyone a chance to relax. With young children, however, a family break isn’t always the most relaxing experience! We’ve been thinking about how you can make your trip a little easier on all of you, and make sure you’ll get a least a little more relaxation than normal.

It can be a challenge to find a family holiday destination that’s suitable for all the family, but here at Trabolgan Holiday Village, we have a wide range of activities and entertainment on offer so that everyone can enjoy your family break in Ireland.

Tops Tips For A Relaxing Holiday

1. Stay local. If you’ve been abroad with small children, you’ll be familiar with the airport stresses, the long queues and wasted time, and the hassle of making sure everyone is where they need to be at all times. The easiest way to take the stress out of a family holiday is to forget international travel and opt to explore an area closer to home. There will, no doubt, be many beautiful and exciting areas in your own country that you’ve never explored, so flex your travel bug in a different way this year.
   
2. Prepare for delays. Even if you’re travelling to a holiday destination an hour away, it’s possible to experience delays, bad traffic or a breakdown. Preparing for any eventuality, by packing some water, snacks and books or toys to keep the children amused, will ensure that minor hold ups pass without issue, and that you all feel great when you arrive.
3. Choose carefully. Looking out for a family holiday destination can be difficult, so it’s important to check out the reviews that other guests have left to get an idea about what a place is really like. Check out reviews on destination websites, but remember that these will have been selected to give a positive impression and don’t forget to visit an independent site such as TripAdvisor for a more balanced view.
4. Take familiar food. Whether you’re paying for full board or self-catering, it’s worth considering what sort of food your children like to eat, and packing some familiar staples and snacks to give yourself an easy life. Hungry children don’t make for a relaxing holiday, so ensure you have something on hand to fill them up when needed.
5. Keep smiling. Take photos of your memorable holiday moments, and if you experience any holiday disasters, try to keep breathing and laugh through the frustrations! Remember that when you look back on your trip, you’ll probably see even the biggest annoyances as mildly funny holiday anecdotes, so keep your perspective and rise above it to maintain the holiday mood.
