There is the odd exception but for the most part Britain’s seaside hotels have been built with families in mind and come equipped with all sorts of family-friendly facilities, from pools and games rooms to day creches and babysitting for harassed parents. Many seaside hotels offer apartments and lodges for those who want to self-cater while at the same time enjoying the facilities of the hotel, and most will boast at least one child-friendly restaurant with kids menus; a few even have special sittings for kids at dinner. Perhaps the epitome of a family-friendly seaside hotel is the Saunton Sands Hotel, a wonderful place for both kids and their parents, perched high on a cliff above one of North Devon’s most magnificent beaches. Other include The Rosevine in Cornwall and The Grove Cromer in Norfolk.
