Getting in the Holiday Spirit

At Cocklebury Farmhouse Homes, we believe that holidays play a vital role in enhancing well-being and bringing joy to the people we support. Recognising that everyone has unique preferences, we work closely with individuals to design holiday experiences tailored to their needs and desires. Through discussions, we explore key factors such as trip duration, destinations, companionship, and the activities that bring them happiness.

Personalised Holiday Experiences

By taking a person-centered approach, we have successfully supported a range of holiday experiences, ensuring that each individual has the opportunity to enjoy trips that align with their interests. Every year, everyone we support goes on holiday. These can either be as a group, or solo adventures, all designed to achieve their holiday goals.

Last year, we supported the following holidays:

  • St Ives, Cornwall – A week-long getaway offering relaxation, animal park trips, seaside adventures, theme park trips and a chance to explore the picturesque town. Lots of the people we support love this holiday. We book a couple of lodges for a few weeks in September and invite anyone to come along who wants a group holiday to Cornwall.

  • Hotel and Spa Retreat – Karen enjoys a luxurious night away by herself, indulging in a relaxing spa experience tailored to her well-being. We support Karen to go to different Spa Hotels and relax in a pampering environment.

  • Lodge Stays in the Cotswolds – Becca embraces independence with peaceful solo overnight stays in a lakeside lodge. We get her favourite dish of fish and chips, and allow her to experience her holiday the way she loves.

  • Weston-Super-Mare Carnival – A lively and social holiday for a group of five, experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of the annual carnival.

  • Hoburne Holiday Park – A fun-filled stay featuring entertainment, leisure facilities, and activities suited to all interests. Christopher has been going to Hoburne for over 20 years, and asks to go time and time again.

  • Porthcawl Holiday Home, Wales – A comfortable retreat in Wales, offering a home-like environment with opportunities to explore local attractions. In Wales we can go to the beach, explore local country parks or go to the amusement park.

  • Camping. Relaxing nights away with a camp fire, beer and BBQs.

Impact and Benefits

These tailored holiday experiences empower individuals to make choices that align with their interests while fostering independence, relaxation, and social connections. By co-designing these trips, we ensure that holidays are not just a break from routine but a meaningful and enjoyable part of life.

We remain committed to providing personalised travel experiences that reflect the interests and aspirations of those we support. By continuing to listen, plan, and facilitate, we aim to create even more memorable moments that enhance the well-being of the people we support.
