Why families pick it

  • Kids' club: Four Bears Den takes children from 3 months to 8 years, with up to two free hours per child for each night of the stay.

  • Rooms: Two Bedroom Family Room for 2 adults + 2 children listed from £265 per night.

Best room for four

Two Bedroom Family Room. Two separate bedrooms for 2 adults + 2 children, so bedtimes do not collide.

Good for

Families with babies, toddlers and children up to about 8.

Think twice if

Childcare stops at age 8, it is a country house rather than a beach hotel, and the big north-coast surf beaches are about 45 minutes away.
