Set sail in style on your own heart-warming adventures from these waterside holiday homes\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The new on-screen adaptation of Arthur Ransome\u2019s 1930s novel appeals to our romantic notion of an age of innocence, when children hadn\u2019t discovered smartphones and instead built dens in the wood and had crumpets for tea.<\/p>\n

If you hanker for the days when you\u2019d wave children off on bikes in the morning, equipped with nothing more than sandwiches wrapped in greaseproof paper, hard boiled eggs and a bottle of ginger pop, then we may have the solution \u2013 your very own Swallows and Amazons holiday home.<\/p>\n

Show your children a boat tied up at the end of the garden and it could challenge WhatsApp for their attention. At the very least, paddling your own boat provides a good selfie opportunity. We\u2019ve a dozen cottages with moorings, where you can head out for adventures on the water, exploring rivers and creeks, and return home at the end of the day bronzed by the sun and cheerfully weary. Bring your own boat or hire one locally.<\/p>\n
