Oh the dream! There doesn't seem to be anything like this close by. I've looked several times and always end up in Cornwall. We've been to Bedruthan steps hotel before which is lovely, but this Easter discovered Sands Resort, which fits the bill perfectly. Baby listening, nice restaurant, reasonably priced wine list, and nice beach close by. Its about 5 hours drive from here though (without factoring in the baby stops!)


Every time we go down there we start dreaming of opening something similar closer by, but don't know of anyone with a spare few ?mill capital to get it set up!!

Calcot Manor in the Cotswolds, Babington House in NE Somerset, Woolley Grange in Wiltshire or Ickworth as recommended above in Suffolk.


The Mr & Mrs Smith website has all of these along with details of exactly what child-friendly features each hotel offers, via the kid-friendly search functionality here: http://www.mrandmrssmith.com/au/child-friendly-hotels.


Calcot would probably be my top choice - amazing food, totally family friendly, gorgeous surroundings.


Hope this helps!

Lovely small hotel with great food and wine - a bit like the hotel du vins (which are also great if you take your own baby monitor) but terra vina has monitors and they listen to them at the reception while you are eating. Plus a nice rubber duck for your baby in the bath! It's in the New Forest so easy 2 hours from Dulwich.

Just looked up this thread to post about Hotel Terra Vina and saw yr post LI. I'd second the recommendation. It was started by the original founders of Hotel Du Vin hence the similarity. The monitor thing must be new as when we went (son was 6 mths at time) our monitor wouldn't stretch to the (fabulous) restaurant - so the receptionist kept it by her desk and listened for us. Plus, we took turns to go and check. It felt like a v nice and secure hotel. We had a sort of suite called Jerpigo I think, which allowed us to put son on a lower level room from us (down 2/3 steps) in travel cot - meant we could watch telly on low and not be in pitch dark etc. If you're foodies I shd think you'd love the place.

1.5 hours from Dulwich, babysitting service (?10 per hour), good restaurant (bit formal though). Its quite a traditional hotel, not as trendy as places like Babington House but the staff are very kid friendly and the main draw is the lovely indoor pool for you and baby and the stunning massive grounds. There are always lots of kids/babies there when we go...

      Franklins is being sold

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.

      Has anyone had the front of a terraced house painted?

      By malumbu · Posted

      How long is a piece of string? AI was a bit rubbish on this one, but Checatrade : average cost to paint a house exterior is around £30 per square metre So depends on the size, access, time to put up scaffolding and cost of hiring and building that, surface preparation, and quality of materials.   Checkatrade put it at £2.5 k for average semi, that sounds a little cheap.

      Be careful on the pavements...

      By malumbu · Posted

      Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here.  Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title.  I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement.  A bit late for ice, but it can still happen.  We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots.  Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes.  Those damned Lime bikes?  But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning.  Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely.  I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post.  We were not there.  We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents.  My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already.   But a four year old?  Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters.
