South Sands
Overview
The hotel is family-friendly, and little Smiths are very welcome. Cots (£12.50 a night) and extra beds (£27.50 or £35) are available.
Best for
All ages welcome, but outdoorsy over 10s will make the most of clifftop scrambling.
Recommended rooms
With two double bedrooms and a sitting room, the Beach Suites have more space for families to relax in. The self-contained kitchen and dining area allow families some flexibility about who eats when and there's space for an extra bed.
Activities
Parents can sip their coffee and keep a watchful eye on sandcastle projects from the hotel terrace. Older children can while away afternoons in the neighbouring sailing school.
Meals
Children of all ages are allowed in the restaurant at any time, and the restaurant provides high chairs and a kids’ menu. Staff are happy to heat up milk and baby food and prepare packed lunches on request.
Babysitting
Given a week’s notice, the hotel can arrange for a local nanny to babysit.
Also
The DVD library has a selection of family flicks to distract restless tots.
