Best for
All ages.
Recommended rooms
There is space to add travel cots or a camp bed in Rooms 1, 3 and 5 – ask the hotel and they will provide them.
Activities
Little Smiths can ramble in the sprawling garden, or read a book in one of the hammocks under the shady trees. There’s a petanque piste, plenty of board games, and PG DVDs to watch from the comfort of your room. Sometimes family movies are played on the projector in the Sitting Room, and the hotel can organise fishing lessons or horse riding.
Meals
Children can eat in the restaurant at any time, and there is a menu tailored to tots. The emphasis on homely, comforting fare should make meal negotiations easy.
Babysitting
The hotel can arrange babysitting with a local nanny – it’s best to book this 48 hours in advance.
No need to pack
Travel cots are provided – they don’t cost extra, but need to be booked.
