Why doesn't AirBnB have a search function for this?

I am looking to book a UK weekend away at the end of January for a bit of a change of scene. Myself, husband, 3 yo and 1 yo

Requirements are whole property, within about 2 hours drive of London and 3 bedroom. Beyond that really flexible.

The weather is likely to be rubbish so in the past what has really made an AirBNB stay for us is the magically moment where you open a cupboard and it is full of children's toys and book. They don't need to be great but novelty value can easily get us through a rainy weekend.

Seeing as I cannot search for this in AirBNB (instead I have to trawl all the reviews for references to children's toys and books) does anyone have a place to recommend?

Many thanks!

Try vrbo.com - not specifically a tickbox for "box of toys" but there is a filter tickbox for "cot" and "families welcome" which will often hint that it's the kind of place that you are hoping for. I did a search for the dates you wanted with those ticked and also the "king size bed" and there's a few within reasonable reach of London.

I prefer booking.com. I chose Kent as other people had suggested Whitstable. These all have board games and are min 3 bed
