Child-Friendly Breaks For Boutique Hotel Junkies

Its hard to imagine a more perfect spot to introduce little ones to the delights of the seaside and spend a rejuvenating few days of rest and relaxation on the coast. Westcroft is a former 18th century coaching inn just steps from the pretty beach in the sleepy, traffic-free village of Kingsand on the Devon/Cornwall borders. The fact the village is virtually traffic free makes it instantly relaxing, especially for those with tearaway toddlers! Even better is the fact that, despite being a stylish 'boutique b&b' Westcroft is both ideally set up and very welcoming for families of pre-school children. Its owners now run the neighbouring art gallery but formerly offered respite care to young families and as a result are incredibly well-equipped and qualified to host families with pre-school children. The huge list of baby and toddler gear they provide on free loan means you can quite literally pack some clothes and some nappies and the rest is all there. Great if you're watching your carbon footprint as travelling light means to you could even catch the train - Dylan and Sarah will happily collect guests off...
