If you prefer charm and character over large and luxe then these small and friendly hotels are for you!
From France to Morocco, these baby and toddler-friendly hotel retreats are often run by families for families and the parent-insight is reflected not only in the long list of baby kit and toys most provide, but also in the set-up and services.
Most offer family-friendly meal times, optional babysitting, play areas and a big smile and warm welcome for young families.
These are the kinds of places where mini guests are not merely tolerated but very often the star of the show and parents can ease into evenings with sociable drinks whilst mini-guests happily mingle.
Below is our editor's pick of the best of the bunch but for a comprehensive list, tailored to you preferred dates, set up and location, just drop us a line!
