    Does anyone know please if the Wychwood or Staverton Park standard rooms will take a couple of put-u-up beds for kids?

    And if so how can you book this?

    Thanks

    i think they will only put one up for you, but if the room is like the ones at denham they are massive and i am sure a word when you get there and they will sort you out

    I booked Oxford and emailed the hotelto put 2 beds in the standard double room, and got an email back today stating they had changed my booking to show 2 children as well as 2 adults. They did however say that there would not be a lot of space left in the standard room and we might be better paying £30 extra per night to upgrade to a delux room.

    those that booked with kids did you just book with adults and amend the bookings after confirmation as i can't get any rooms if i include kids.

    TIA.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Have phoned Staverton Park and they said you would have to pay a £15 supplement to go in a Classic room if you wanted 2 extra beds.

    Someone asked about rooms near Alton Towers. I have two family rooms in a travelodge near Alton Towers for during May half-term which I booked in the sale, but can no longer use unfortunately. (I had three but one's now gone-thank you, you-know-who!)

    If anyone's interested, please feel free to PM me. :-)

    some of the mansion house rooms are dated as well. You want the wellington centre which is a detached building and very mod!

    Thanks for this, is the Wellington different to the executive centre?

    Thanks to all the people reassuring about the room quality. I have never experienced this with de vere in the past either so I'm sure they'll be lovely.

    I would say, as others have said, there would be some diffiiculty accomodating two extra beds in a staverton park standard, but the sesrvice there is brilliant. Particularly if you ask for a receptionist "grey-haired Philip" (he told us to call him that when we rang - I'm not being offensive!!), he has been great sorting us out with combining all of our bookings and requesting rooms close together for our party. :money:
    Oh have just noticed your post mumontherun, but thought I'd leave this on in case its still useful for anyone!

    i can never think of anything witty to write :rolleyes:

    No, I found two Deveres that had Classic Family rooms (which basically meant putting put-u-up beds in there for the children). They are Ascot & Haslemere, there might be more, but I haven't been through them all. Still only paid £10 or £19 for the family room.

    Have just checked, here are the Deveres where you can actually book Classic Family or Signature Family rooms on their website:

    Milton Hill - Abingdon, Oxford
    Sunningdale Park - Ascot
    Daresbury Park - Warrington
    Whites - Bolton
    Haslemere - don't seem to be offering family rooms anymore throughout the summer but were.

    Obviously from reading the above posts, it appears if you make a request for extra beds in the other Deveres hotels aside from the ones above, they can do it but may charge you a supplement.

    That is what I did and just emailed them afterwards and got a reply saying they had ammended my booking to show 2 children as well. I understand they stay and eat for free. However maybe some rooms in some locations are not big enough to accomodate a double and a couple of singles, so maybe worth ringing the venue direct before booking or seeing if you can book 2 adjoining rooms. I have also noticed that each morning they extend the booking dates for 1 day eg today it is now booking until Friday 31st July, yesterday, it was Thursday 30th July. If someone wants a Saturday night (ie. 1st August) it might be worth checking tomorrow early am. I have just booked a family room for £10 at Ascot on 31st July, as will do Legoland trip that day and saves heading back towards London in traffic.
