Hello

The in-laws have just said they would like to go on hols in September in the UK after schools have returned and asked us if we would like to go with them.... looking for any recommendations for a 4 bed cottage/house to rent for a week in dorset/ cornwall or thereabouts which is kiddy friendly. Also would like it to be close to a nice town/village (to escape for meals) and a beach or swimming pool (or something toddler friendly/activities) to be on the list then that would be great .... oh as well as buggy friendly. Has anyone got any recommendations - I would love to hear from you....

thanks in advance.

I'm repeating myself from previous threads, so sorry to be boring!! but I can't recommend Glynn Barton Cottages highly enough.

They have a selection of self catering cottages all with doors facing onto a lovely lawn so although you wouldn't be all together in the same house (the largest cottage has 3 bedrooms) you'd be very close. Based near Bodmin in Cornwall. It has amazing kids facilities included heated pool, playroom packed with toys and pool table for rainy days, animal feeding daily, outdoor adventure play area, teepee to explore etc etc. It's a short car journey from Bodmin town which isn't the greatest, but they can arrange babysitting and it's a short 10 min drive to Fowey which is lovely. Polkerris beach and a lovely National Trust property is also a ten min drive.

You would think I work for them - I don't!!! we've just been four times, back again at Easter and I think it's brilliant for pre-schoolers. We're going with two other families this time.

Good luck finding somewhere x

We LOVE ruralretreats. Stunning cottages, good prices, modern interiors and modcons. Have used them so many times and never been disappointed so we recommend them to everyone.

One owner of the cottage we stayed at didn't even think twice when we said there's a small child of 1 1.5 and we're concerned abt safety - they installed baby gates everywhere!
