Travelling with a baby can be overwhelming, even for Royal parents, but booking with HomeAway.co.uk, the UK’s leading rentals site with over 545,000 properties listed, makes life easy and holidays fun.

 

The site has a wide variety of baby and toddler friendly options available so that parents can get away and relax together without the constraints of a hotel room or the worry that other guests will be offended by night time crying or temper tantrums.   

 

For those who prefer to keep things easy and drive there are cosy cottages in Cornwall and sea front houses in Sussex as well as plenty of other baby friendly properties all over the United Kingdom.  However, if hopping on a ferry or plane isn’t too stressful, poolside villas in France and baby friendly hideaways in Spain are great options for family fun too.

 

HomeAway.co.uk Regional Director and mother of toddler girl Erica Chang, said: “There is no denying that going on holiday with a baby or toddler can be daunting but it doesn’t have to be. Many of the properties on HomeAway.co.uk are geared towards young families and not only offer more room and flexibility than hotels but also come jam packed with great equipment and facilities often for no extra cost.”

 

She added, “Whether it is cots and highchairs, sterilisers and stair gates or swimming pools with fences and safe gardens, on HomeAway.co.uk we have it covered. We know parents want to be able to go away and relax, so by using the filters on our site they know exactly what they are going to get before they arrive and can even liaise with the owners to ensure everything they need will be there for them and their little treasures.”
