The NCT mag included some sort of specialist company that offered kid-friendly holidays, I think. But I tend to chuck the mag after the briefest of scans, so I don't think I have it to hand any more.
One thing that strikes me about the places we've been is that you might get a place with a highchair and a bed, but if you want to have a safety gate around, you might need to bring your own. E was fascinated by the stairs in our cottage at York.
Yes it does look good doesn't it. Have bookmarked for future reference.
Will also check out the Tamba webpage. If something gets good reviews from a parent of twins then it'll be more than good enough to meet our requirements.
Trying to work round naps can be a real pain sometimes. I'm trying to use naps as an excuse to catch up on reading and/or stitching.
Thanks also for the links, which I've bookmarked. The babyfriendly boltholes look very stylish - probably for special treat short breaks cos they're not cheap!
One addition - we've stayed in Lower Villa Winch at Portmeirion, which is all on one level, just a couple of steps up to the front door. One twin/double (can't remember which is which) and one single with plenty of room for a cot. It's in a quiet spot overlooking the main square but off the main route. Upper Villa Winch, which is above it, is identical except for the other of twin/double and reached from the outside by a flight of steepish concrete steps, so less ideal.
We've never had trouble occupying Becca - toddlers don't mind seeing the same things every day for a week, let's face it, if they find a nice looking stone they're happy :-) The worst thing was having to carry her up the hill to the villa if she got tired :-(

Good tip about the safety gate. I might even get a travel one as it could be useful for a couple of years.

Aled is into sticks! Anything stick-shaped will do, even a drinking straw or (more dangerously) a pen.
