Baby-friendly acccommodation – enjoy a stress-free break with Classic Cottages

April 2, 2012

Let’s face it, holidaying abroad with a little one can be rather challenging – so new parents should consider the great advantages of a UK holiday cottage getaway…

Offering 700 coastal and country cottages in Cornwall, Dorset, Devon and Somerset, Classic Cottages’ website has a very useful baby-friendly option. With a single click, the search automatically shows only properties that have cots, highchairs, stair-gates, baby baths, bath mats, changing mats and socket covers as standard.  It’s perfect for parents with babies and saves schlepping all that bulky baby paraphernalia into the car on top of the normal hefty baby or toddler luggage allowance.

Based in Helston, South West Cornwall, the company’s high customer score means that it is now one of only two self-catering companies in the UK to gain the accolade of being a Which? recommended provider.
