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.

How many adults and children are in your party? Please provide an age for each child for an accurate price.

FAQs: Family Hotels

Can 4 adults sleep in a family room?

It depends on the hotel, and the specification of the room, but most hotels are happy for adults to occupy a family room if it is large enough. However, for adults to enjoy a family room comfortably it would need to be equipped with at least 2 good-sized beds. Often family rooms consist of a double bed for adults and a sofa bed or bunk beds which are only really suitable for children

What age can a child have their own room in a hotel UK?

It varies. Most hotels are happy to accommodate a child in their own room, even if they are barely teenagers, if their parents are occupying another room – preferably an adjoining one if the kids are particularly young. To occupy a room of their own, with no parents present, you have to be at least 16 years old, and often older – 18 at least.

What are the advantages of a family hotel?

The most important thing is that family hotels are used to and welcome families. There’s nothing worse than staying in a hotel where families are not the norm as you may well feel out of place and not particularly welcome, especially if your kids are not on their best behaviour. Family hotels are also more likely to have child-friendly facilities – everything from pools, games rooms and lots of activities to kid-friendly menus in the restaurant, occasionally even providing X-boxes and other child-friendly entertainment. Some hotels go the extra mile for parents, too, laying on creches and babysitting services for younger children that leave mums and dads able to enjoy the hotel’s more grown-up facilities in peace! Calcot & Spa in the Cotswolds lays on activities for both young children and teenagers, the Saunton Sands Hotel in Devon has loads of amenities for kids, while Fowey Hall in Cornwall provides 90 minutes of free childcare every day.
