| Hoy Cottage © www.babyfriendlyboltholes.co.uk |
The traditional exterior of this cottage masks a sleek, ultra-modern, architect-designed pad. Sleeping six (plus babies), the house could feature in a glossy interiors magazine with its high-spec kitchen, contemporary furnishings and gadgets galore. Wide French windows open onto decking, so kids can thunder in and out to their hearts’ content. The owners are parents of twins and have ensured the place is overloaded with toys and baby kit. If you can drag yourself away from all the mod cons, this place is just a street away from the beach.
From £1,295 for seven nights in summer; www.babyfriendlyboltholes.co.uk

| Dunescape © www.dunescape.co.uk |
This eco home was built in 2007, with solar-powered hot water, geothermal heating and a grass roof. The house is spread over three floors with two bedrooms sleeping up to five. You’re seconds from the beach, so no moans from tired tots on the way home. Loads of light via floor-to-ceiling windows, luxurious organic cotton sheets and a delightfully-sounding posture-paedic mattress for the grown-ups. Kids can curl up under cute seaside bedding. Local artwork is a nice touch. And – joy! – a table tennis table.
Fully booked in summer 2011; £520 for seven nights in autumn/winter; www.dunescape.co.uk

| Regency Beach Apartment © www.mulberrycottages.com |
A lovely, two-bedroom, modern seaside flat in a traditional Regency terrace. Both rooms (one king, one twin) have bathrooms, so you won’t have to share your bath with an assortment of wind-up toys. For the kids, there are comfy beanbags to lounge on, jigsaws, a cot and highchair. If you’re feeling energetic, there’s a shared gym in the building, but better to step out into the communal gardens, stroll along the promenade and treat yourself to an ice-cream. The marina, beach and numerous cafes and bars are minutes away.
From £520 for seven nights; www.mulberrycottages.com
