From $187

Family Friendly HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Family' categoryFamilies looking for a luxurious country retreat with plenty of activities need look no further than the Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club. While the pool has designated child-free hours, it is perfect for families to splash around in during other times. The hotel provides a warm welcome to all, including younger guests, but some reviewers have suggested that the dinner menu could have a few more options for kids. The spa may not be suitable for children, but luckily there are other designated times for children to enjoy in the pool. However, if you have especially sleepy teenagers, it's worth noting that breakfast is only available at 8:00am. All in all, Hanbury Manor may not be the most family-friendly hotel on offer, but it's perfect for a grown-up, girls weekend away.

Good

From $105

Family Friendly HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Family' categoryThe Village Hotel London Watford offers a mixed experience for families with several amenities that cater well to children along with a few drawbacks. On the positive side, the hotel's facilities are generally well-regarded. Clean and well-maintained amenities such as the swimming pool, sauna and steam room are highlighted as particularly attractive features.

Family Friendly HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Family' categoryIf you're traveling with children, Letchworth Hall is a great option as the hotel staff are extremely accommodating and nothing seems to be too much trouble - even when traveling with a small baby or a disabled child under 5 years old. However, be aware that the swimming pool has limited opening times for children and some guests felt that clearer information about using the health spa would have been helpful. The grounds are beautiful and perfect for walking your dog and there are even children's swimming lessons available. The hotel is also conveniently located for visiting family, but those with mobility issues may struggle with the layout of the hotel as some rooms and areas are difficult to access.

However, the hotel is not without its drawbacks. Some users mentioned a less-than-ideal experience with breakfast pricing being too high for both adults and children.

Despite these minor hiccups, the overall consensus is that Shendish Manor provides great value accommodation in a pleasant and large hotel building.

The location is recognized as family-friendly with many options for activities nearby and it is also located near beautiful gardens. Communal areas can get quite busy, especially during large functions or events, which can sometimes make the reception area hectic with kids around.
