in Overseas holidays & travel planning
Hi it's my partners birthday weekend this sat-monday and (5-8th)
we wanted to book a hotel break away that caters for tots

We have a toddler so would need it to be family friendly with maybe a bit for us adults too..ideal world lol

However as with everything on a budget. I like the luxury family hotels chain but I don't want him driving far as he drives for work so was hoping for wiltshire/hampshire/dorset/devon i.e. close to Southampton/short commute

Any ideas, deals etc. Need to book today!!

TIA

    Why not just use a search engine and input details such as last minute deals or go direct to the hotels, You will then get lots of choices as nobody will know your budget and or preferences.

    still suggest you post on the UK holidays board.
    This one's for abroad.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    Try the Novotel website, their hotels are usually family friendly with family rooms, a play area and quite often free children's meal and many have a pool.

    If you just type in Southampton and go on the secret hotel rate you can get a good bargain for what you would normally pay. If you google the explanation you'll find out which hotel it is before you go
