Whitehouse

Kids

Children are welcome but we'd recommend it more in summer than winter (unless you're taking over the whole house): the big lawn area offers a good outlet to run around and there are plenty of child-friendly beaches nearby.

Romantic couples might not appreciate noisy kids in the snug sitting rooms. The Siamese cats and Minnie the sleek Lurcher are a bit shy but a source of interest amongst younger children.

• Best for: Babies (0-1 years)
• Family friendly accommodation: Rooms 1 and 2 connect (sleeping max 4 adults + 1 baby); Room 6 has a sofabed and Rooms 3 and 5 are very large and can accommodate extra beds. All rooms have bathtubs as well as showers. Cots are charged, but you can bring your own if you prefer.
• Babysitting: Babysitting is available by arrangement. See Rates.
• Baby listening: Bring your own monitor with you. The signal reaches everywhere in the hotel so you can dine with a sleeping baby upstairs.
• Baby equipment:
  • Cots
  • Highchairs
  • Bottle warming on request

• Children's meals: There are kids' menus, plus high tea and half portions of adult mains. Typical dishes include macaroni cheese and jelly and ice cream. Little people need to vacate the dining area by 6pm but staff were pretty flexible when we were there.
