Hi. I'm pregnant at the moment, but already planning holidays for next year pretty early to take advantage of early booking discounts! I'm thinking that a UK break is going to be a lot easier than attempting to fly and go abroad. My husband and I were thinking of having a week in the UK when the baby is 5 months old. My logic is, the prices will be a bit cheaper and the baby will have had all their 2,3 & 4 month immunisations by then so I don't need to book holidays around those dates. Taking a baby away (probably a 2 hour drive away by car) at 5 months old, what sort of things do I need to consider with accommodation etc.?
It'll be late Summer / early Autumn (so not too hot) and I'm looking at self catering holiday cottages / lodges, and they seem to let you hire travel cots and high chairs for £10 a week. So that would mean not having to take them ourselves. Accommodation is on one level (no stairs to carry baby up and down to) and seem to have fully equipped kitchens. Also no front door steps to drag the pram / puschair up to the front door.
Are there any other things I need to think about? Thanks for any tips!
