Of the trip, Jeff said: "We had a fantastic family getaway to the Lake District with TripAdvisor Rentals, which was the perfect end to the summer.
"The unique Old Corn Mill where we stayed was the ultimate family holiday home featuring incredible original features including a huge waterwheel surrounded by beautiful gardens located right in the heart of the Lake District."
He continued: "The boys loved getting back to nature climbing trees, zip-lining and rowing, and we also spent loads of time out in the fresh air on long family walks enjoying amazing views over the lakes.
"Escaping our day to day life and spending time together as a family was so relaxing, and the Old Corn Mill was the perfect setting and base for our trip."
Meanwhile Jeff recently shared a gushing post about his son Freddie as the teen celebrated his 13th birthday.
Jeff wrote: "Happy 13th Birthday to the kindest soul I know. Proud to say he's mine."

He recently revealed that his sons' favourite memory of their mum is when she put out a fire during a family holiday.
Speaking to , Jeff explained: "Their favourite memory is sadly one that I wasn't a part of, but irrespective it was a very wonderful, heroic memory for them.
"They were in Trinidad and Tobago and somehow she put out a fire. They recall it very fondly how Mummy was very quick to react to the fact that something was on fire and that she put it out."
He continued: "They were young and very impressionable at the time and just thought that was the most incredible thing. They thought "Wow, my Mum's a lifesaver, she's a firefighter!
"That's a wonderful memory. That's probably their most valued memory. I'm gonna take them there one day and it will feel special because it was a place that's very special to their Mum."
Jeff recently revealed that he's got a secret locked drawer of Jade memorabilia that isn't suitable for his sons just yet.
Speaking to Woman's Own, Jeff revealed he and the boys make an effort to remember Jade all the time.
The dad-of-two, who recently revealed he's planned on proposing to his girlfriend of three years Kate Dwyer, said the boys "miss their mum most when things aren't going well for them".
"That's the gut-wrenching thing about bereavement. It's just an indisputable fact that their lives would be so much better if Jade was here," he continued.
"We have Mum's Day once a month, where we do a big activity and dedicate it to Jade.
"It's my job to keep their account of memories of their mum topped up.
"Not all the stories about Jade are suitable - some magazines are in a drawer that will be available to them as adults if they should wish to view them."
Jeff retrained as a life coach following Jade's death and regularly appears on television to help others.
