Free Child Place Restrictions

Hi,


Looking to book a holiday with my wife, 2 kids and grandparents.


Is there anything that prevents me from booking 1 of the kids with my grand parents to gain both children free but when arriving on holiday having both kids in with us?


Thanks in advance.

    Probably not, but you'll probably find that there is one child bed in each room so how are you going to manage having both children in your room?

    Pack or buy an air bed in resort- bedding can be moved from room to room if top and tailing wouldn't work with your kids. (or request adjacent rooms often the extra bed is a camp bed so just move it)

    As a family with one child, every hotel room I have ever booked has had two children's beds (something I rely on as my 4year old won't sleep alone when not at home) and we travel at least 3 times a year to different hotels in the U.K. and abroad.
    in my opinion the OP would be fine.

    I don't agree that the OP can rely on a room sold as a room sleeping three having four beds . I've certainly seen rooms with the third bed as a single camp bed. They may hit lucky....but should have a back up plan (like an airbed or grandparents prepared to have a child in with them) in case your opinion isn't correct for their particular property.

    (Don't quite understand why two adults and one child in a room require a double and *two* children's beds but that's neither here nor there really)
