- Family-friendly amenities make travel smoother and more enjoyable
- Perfect blend of apartment comfort and hotel convenience
Spacious Apartments Perfect for Families
Our living areas typically span 40 square metres, providing ample room for the whole family to relax, play, or even squeeze in a bit of holiday work if needed.
Most of our apartments feature separate bedrooms, a godsend for parents who want to enjoy some quiet time after the kids are in bed. Our two-bedroom units comfortably house families of up to six, while our largest apartments can accommodate groups of up to eight—perfect for those family reunions or multi-generational holidays.
We’ve also thought about the practical side of family travel. You’ll find plenty of storage space, with built-in wardrobes and additional storage units to keep your apartment clutter-free.
Families tell us they sleep better in our apartments, with private bedrooms ensuring everyone gets the rest they need. The separate living areas mean parents can enjoy a glass of wine and conversation without waking the little ones.
We’ve designed our apartments with open-plan living areas that bring the whole family together. These spaces are perfect for movie nights, board games, or just lounging around and chatting about your day’s adventures.
Fully Equipped Kitchens
One of the standout features of our aparthotels is the fully equipped kitchen in our units. This isn’t just a mini-fridge and a microwave—we’re talking about a proper kitchen with everything you need to whip up anything from a quick breakfast to a full family dinner.
Most kitchens come with a full-size refrigerator, oven, stovetop, microwave, and dishwasher. We also provide all the cookware and utensils you’ll need.
Families staying with us report saving between £30-£100 per day on food costs. Over a week-long stay, that can add up to significant savings that you can put towards extra activities or souvenirs.
Having a kitchen gives you control over mealtimes, which can be a lifesaver when travelling with kids. No more searching for restaurants open at odd hours or trying to appease picky eaters. You can stick to your usual routines, prepare familiar foods, and cater to any dietary requirements with ease.
We also have extraordinary dining experiences via our selected Neighbourhood Heroes, in case you want to still go out for some fine dining.
Essential Family-Friendly Amenities
We’ve gone the extra mile to ensure our aparthotels cater to all your family’s needs. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the difference in our family-focused approach.
For our youngest guests, we provide essential items like travel cots at no extra cost. These are available on request and can be set up in your apartment before you arrive. With all the amenities you’d find in your kitchen at home, bottle-warming and sterilising are easy, saving you the hassle of packing these bulky items.
But we don’t stop at the basics.
For older children and teens, we offer various entertainment options within the apartments. Many units come with smart TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi, allowing them to stream their favourite shows or stay connected with friends back home. We always make our guests aware of what’s going on at Native Places, too. From workshops and gigs to talks and parties, there is always something for you and the family to go and do.
We also understand that family holidays often mean lots of laundry. That’s why all our aparthotels offer in-apartment washing machines. This means you can pack light and still have clean clothes throughout your stay, no matter how muddy the adventures get.
Our commitment to service means we’re always ready to assist. Need extra towels or help with an appliance? Our team typically responds within 15 minutes during daytime hours. Housekeeping requests can be fulfilled within the day if enough notice is given, ensuring your apartment stays comfortable throughout your stay.
