Spring Cottage

Berkshire, United Kingdom

Best for: Eight years and up.
Recommended rooms: There is a children's bedroom which has a single bed with an extra pull-out mattress.
Activities: Cliveden's large gardens are an ideal environment for playing hide and seek. Children are welcome to use the snooker room, and indoor and outdoor tennis courts. Staff can arrange helicopter rides in von Essen's own helicopters, or a drive in a Rolls Royce Phantom.
Swimming pool: Children are welcome in the indoor and outdoor pools, under parental supervision at designated times.
Meals: The kitchen is perfect to whip up snacks for little ones in. Children are allowed in the main hotel's restaurant at all times ntoo. There's a kids' menu, serving staples like lasagna, spaghetti bolognese and home-made chicken nuggets.
Babysitting: Babysitting can be arranged from £12.50 an hour. Please give at least 24 hours notice.
No need to pack: There are plenty of board games in the cottage. When it comes to high chairs or cots make sure you book ahead.
Also: This property is right on the river so it's probably not advisable to stay with intrepid toddlers as you may need a fleet of nannies to keep watch and/or a huge jar of Valium.
