At Premier Inn, we’re all about helping you have a smooth, happy holiday so here’s our guide to keeping things fun and stress-free!
Getting ready for a family holiday? We know that travelling with kids can sometimes feel like an adventure in itself, but with a few handy tips, you can make the journey just as enjoyable as the destination.
When it comes to family travel, there’s no such thing as ‘too much time.’ From packing up to navigating the airport, everything takes just a little bit longer with kids.
Plan ahead, start early and give yourself plenty of breathing room. That way, if a shoe goes missing or there’s an impromptu snack break, you’re not stressing just enjoying the adventure together.
There’s nothing like arriving at a hotel, ready to relax only to find there are no rooms available.Booking in advance means you’ll have a cosy spot waiting for you and a lot less to worry about.
At Premier Inn, we make it easy to reserve your room and often have great deals on stays when you book ahead, so you can arrive, settle in and get the holiday started on the right note.
A quick check of the weather forecast will help you plan for fun, no matter what’s in store. Because you’re heading somewhere warm, look for a hotel with air conditioning or even a pool for splashing around and cooling down.
And if there’s a chance of rain make sure to have a backup plan of indoor activities. Then, a surprise shower just means extra family bonding time instead of a room full of restless kids.
Long car rides, flights or waiting around at the airport are all part of the journey, but having a few favourite activities on hand can make it much smoother.
Load up a tablet with games and shows, bring a couple of books, or toss in a colouring book and crayons.Once you arrive you’ll all have lots of local attractions to keep you entertained.
Kids and tumbles seem to go hand in hand, so packing a mini first-aid kit can be a lifesaver.Include essentials like insect repellent, plasters, antiseptic wipes and a thermometer, plus any tummy-soothing remedies you might need.
You’ll feel ready for anything, so you can focus on fun instead of worrying about the ‘what ifs.’
You’re heading somewhere sunny so making sure the kids are protected is essential. Pack plenty of high-SPF, water-resistant sunscreen, along with hats and sunglasses.
And remember to take a few shade breaks, especially around midday.
Nothing ruins holiday fun faster than sunburn!
Kids love the independence of packing their own bags, but a little help goes a long way. Sit with them as they pack to make sure they have the essentials, plus a few comforting items to make them feel at home.
At Premier Inn, we want your family holiday to be as easy and fun as possible. From cosy rooms to kid-friendly amenities, our hotels are designed with families in mind.
So go ahead, book your stay with Premier Inn and look forward to a holiday filled with happy memories and lots of laughter!
