My Favourite Holiday Cottages make it easier for you to find a child-friendly cottage where looking after your children in a home-from-home where there will be less chance of hearing those words - I am bored! Choose carefully, and you could save yourself a lot of packing! Owners who have invested in creating a holiday home with facilities for children are also very likely to be experts in knowing all the local child-friendly attractions - from safe sandy beaches to theme parks. It is always worth a phone call or an enquiry to the property owner seeking their recommendation. You will find them happy to help.

If all your children are pre-school age, then you'll find plenty of child-friendly cottages at reasonable prices in the early summer before the schools break up - or take advantage of some Indian summer weather on a family holiday in September when the crowds have gone, there's space on the beach, and the sun still shines. As well as toys, there are more practical considerations to take into account. Catering for children includes facilities such as plastic crockery, buckets, spades and even fridge magnets. Some owners will even include a small pack of pre-stamped postcards to encourage youngsters to write to grandparents and friends about their holiday.
