The Parent Friendly Stays children would, if they were allowed, spend every waking minute on a play area if they had a chance. Swings, slides, roundabouts, play houses – they’re not fussy! It’s a great way to let off steam on a sunny day while parents sit, watch and chat.

Here’s our selection of child and family friendly cottages, lodges, holiday parks and hotels with an outdoor play area.
