Christmas hotel recommendations for 15 month old twins + fussy grandparents

Hi, my MIL has decided she doesn't want to do Christmas this year and that we should all go away somewhere for a few days in the UK. It will be grandparents, our family of four (twins will be 15 months then) and my bro and sis in law.
The grandparents are FUSSY and like to stay in the lap of luxury when they travel but I'm not sure how that's going to work with two babies. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Try Calcot manor we used to stay there & it was fab. Have a spa & seimming pool (restricted time for children). Also a great play zone. They provided sterilisers, baby cups,bottles etc. Haven't stayed for a while though so maybe different now. Luxury family hotels may also be worth a try.

Swimming pool not seimming pool!

We stayed in the Headland hotel (newquay) this year, great family rooms with separate sleeping area for the little ones. It's definitely family friendly, highchairs swimming pool, playroom but with a luxurious old fashioned feel. We were in 317 which was amazing.

Another one for Calcott Manor, only had lunch there but was lovely and very child friendly.

Lovely, I'll check it out. Thank you!
It did cross my mind to have everyone to ours but cooking all that food with twin babies to look after in a small flat and an extra picky MIL didn't inspire me. Oh, and DH took our dining table to his office to use as a meeting table so they'd have to sit on the floor. Calcot Manor sounds like a much better option.

If you don't, dh and I have spent some lovely Christmas's at the Celtic Manor - they make it very christmassy, and the buffet in the Olive restaurant is v child friendly
