Baby-friendly luxury holidays in the UK
These are places put together as efficiently as building blocks, with babies in mind. Books, cots and stairgates – baby-friendly luxury holidays in the UK can only happen in homes as prepared as these.
We know that babies come with a longer packing list, so whether you're new to parenting or three children in, our baby-friendly holiday homes are kitted out for all your little ones needs. Perhaps now is the time for a group gathering to introduce your baby to the whole clan? With grandparents chomping at the bit to hold the bottle and siblings waiting in the wings with fairytales, there's nothing like having all hands on deck. Babymooners may just wish to revel in each other’s company before their family expands, resting in a cottage so close to the coast that the ocean soundscape will send them to slumber.
These are the days when memories are made. At these luxurious homes, you'll have the option to indulge in cold-water therapy in a lake, embrace the healing benefits of the sauna, or simply slink off for an early dinner in a walled garden while the older cousins do cot-side duties in a cinema room. There’s a family retreat that unfolds across four dwellings in the Cotswolds, with a heated pool, playground and a handful of farm animals. In Devon, a light-filled cottage offers a more intimate escape, with a wood-fired hot tub and acres of land that invite slow strolls through the buttercups by the river.
