Having recently given birth I'm looking to treat myself and book my Summer Holiday and wondered if anyone can recommend somewhere family friendly?

I'm after somewhere in Europe (2-4 hours flight time), with a kids club for a 3 year old and also suitable for a 4/5month baby (a room with a small kitchen/kitchenette would be fab). Ideally a high 4 or 5 star type hotel/accomodation in a small resort but with good restaurants in walking distance would be perfect. Any suggestions appreciated!

We often go to Italy (everywhere from the north to the south) with the children as it's close and very child friendly (2 hour flight). We use the service tuscanynow.com.


Also, Greece is a good option for resort-type places with kids clubs, swimming pools and beaches (4 hour flight). We've stayed at one called the Sani Resort in Halkidiki which had a nice spa for the adults and a lot of restaurants in the harbour within walking distance.


Haven't used babyfriendlyboltholes but their website looks lovely and easy to use.


Have a lovely holiday!

would recommend Pefkos in Rhodes. Apartments are called Pefki Island Resort. Lovely clean place, people friendly, got two resorts where you can use the facilities in each resort, 3 pools, within 5 minutes of restaurants, bars etc. We have been going for years, you book thru Thomson. have a look at their website at the photos and reviews.

Agree with above posts but am firmly committed to Eurocamp/Keycamp type holidays. We usually go to France and hire a Mobile Home and yes we fly these days ( usually with Ryanair plus car hire). Good quality campsites offer a huge range of entertainment including Kid's Clubs. France never fails to have some delightful local restaurants which are always child friendly. Admittedly I hadn't been on such a holiday with a child as young as yours but with hindsight , would have done. To have a fully functioning kitchen to me is a real Godsend.


Anyway have a lovely holiday whatever you choose.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
