Always request a family room or interconnecting rooms rather than a standard double — the difference in space and privacy is significant. TripSage briefings tell you exactly which room types to ask for at each property.
If you're driving, check parking availability and cost upfront — it's often not included in the room rate and can add £20–£40 per night. Hotels near bus or train links save significant time when touring with children.
