Holiday Cottage Help.

How do you choose your holiday cottage?

We have a shortlist of about 10 but we just can't seem to pick one.

We are swinging towards the ones that provide a cot and highchair so we don't have to bring them with us.

What do you look for that helps you to choose?

Thanks

But it still has a dishwasher.

Dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, microwave, bedlinen and towels provided, location, enclosed garden, more than 1 loo, decent shower, price. When the dses were little cot and highchair. Always use English Country Cottages. Have never had a bad one.

Cot, Highchair (If your cottage owner doesn't provide a decent cot/highchair they're probably not aware of the basic needs of parents), dishwasher,w/m & dryer, enclosed garden, bath & shower, blackout curtains or blinds, TV & DVD for rainy days, games & toys, babysitting and lots and lots of space indoors for letting off steam, hide & seek and getting a bit of privacy (dc's and adults!!)
