Whether you are after quaint self-catering options in Europe or a pre-arranged adventure somewhere far-flung, we offer 110 baby-friendly holidays. Each of our baby-friendly holidays offers something unique from sandpits, paddling pools and games to animal feeding, egg collecting, olive picking or pizza, pasta, and ice cream making. Youll find many in our collection offer a baby-sitting service too, allowing you some well-earned time to relax. Our holidays are run by people who care about ensuring you have the best experience possible. Choose from baby-friendly resorts in Spain or Malta, peaceful renovated cottages in Italy, the UK or Sri Lanka. For those babes who demand the best, enjoy a taste of luxury in the Greek Islands, or beautiful boutique hotels and B&Bs in New Zealand, Australia and Thailand. If your little one is an adventurer then a visit to a farmstay, campsite or yurt could be the baby-friendly holiday theyve been crying out for.

The most memorable part of our trip was most likely the scenery we loved the mountains and woodlands. The next was the food as Nick is no doubt an excellent chef and Dasha a specialist with deserts.

The blend of marvellous scenery, a fabulous place to stay and relax, and the hospitality of our hosts (including great food and great local advice on walking, parking points, activities etc).
(more)The beautiful views from the apartment and balcony were most memorable. An excellent family holiday in a beautiful location. (more)It was amazing. Really the best one I've ever had. I loved the feel of the place and I felt really at home with out all the baggage of being at home (phone, computer, projects, piles of stuff...) (more)The highlights were the warm welcome, wonderful cream tea on arrival. Very child friendly - Rose went out of her way to find books and puzzles for the children to play with. (more)The most memorable part of the trip was without doubt the mountain trek on the mules -the scenery was fantastic and our 2 boys had a most wonderful time with their donkeys and their guides who resembled Jawa's from star wars which is every boy's fantasy! (more)This really was the best holiday we have ever had, we have struggled in the past to find somewhere that everyone enjoys which is difficult with young active children, but this accommodation and Ithaca really did mean we relaxed and enjoyed time with them whilst they also had a great time. None of us wanted to leave and we will definitely go back.
(more)The entire experience was an absolute blast. The kindness of the staff - the peaceful location - the delicious food - the interesting history of the place- the wonderful antique furniture - the eccentric fellow travellers.... If you are after a different kind of holiday where you can both relax and have a few adventures this is it. (more)Waking up in the morning, and stepping onto the balcony; from where the views were stunning was the most memorable part. (more)The peace and tranquillity were sublime. A lovely property with all the mod cons (even a coffee machine) however in wonderful rural surrounds. The garden of the property was a delight. The countryside of the Loire was beautiful, the village a short bike ride away. (more)
We had a great couple of days. The owners are really friendly and helpful. The yurt and it's garden area are completely private and self contained but near the owners home if you need anything. (more)Beautiful accommodation and right next to a lovely beach with great and unpretentious Spanish restaurants... Excellent. As good as we had hoped and will go back with our children next year who will also love it!

The trip was 5 star born again, Liz and Mel were fantastically welcoming, extremely well informed on all aspects of the area and able to provide a very relaxing environment. (more)The village is set in an amazing location and has been restored sympathetically, maintaining its sense of age and history. The view from our balcony across to the surrounding hills, was spectacular. (more)We could not have hoped for a better holiday. This was our first time in Sardinia, our first farm holiday, away from the beaten tracks. We spent a week and rested so much that we feel as if we've been away for months. (more)
Living in a cave for a week was quite extraordinary. It was so quiet and peaceful. It was a lovely break, an adventure which we all enjoyed and gorgeous weather and views in a part of Spain not usually visited by tourists. (more)We had a really great holiday. Definitely recommended. Also very baby friendly - my daughter loved the swings and all the toys provided... Beautiful walks along the Pembrokeshire coast where we saw lots of wildlife including choughs, peregrine falcons and dolphins. (more)Excellent - first big holiday with toddler, and she LOVED it! Very relaxing for us too... Lots of little things that had clearly been thought through to make your life as easy as possible. (more)You can trust responsibletravel.com reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
The thing that worried me most about becoming a dad (bulging nappies aside), was the thought of kissing those exotic long-haul holidays goodbye in favour of a nice day out at the local country park and visiting the grandparents yours or mine this weekend?. Struck by this worrying realisation that a life of day-trips and comfortable furry footwear awaited, I dragged my wife, who had done all her kicking and screaming for the year, and our two-month-old son Benjamin (who hadnt), on a two-month, twenty thousand mile round-trip to Australia.
