Family-Friendly Hotels UK
Once upon a time going on holiday with the kids in the UK meant avoiding hotels. Nowadays, however, more and more hotels cater for families and young children, and even do so with a smile on their face. It's not just about the child-friendly facilities like cots, high chairs, child menus and baby-sitting services, which are of course important, but also about the type of nearby (or, even better, onsite) activities available to keep both you and your children amused throughout your holiday. From outdoor pools, bushcraft and foraging adventures, play areas and games rooms, our collection of family-friendly hotels UK is our pick of hotels where you can either kick back and relax whilst the kids entertain themselves, or get stuck in and enjoy some precious quality time with the family.
