We have four children and so it means splitting Hubby and I up with two children each which was a nightmare when two of my children were on holiday once and both sleeping in my room. I didn't get any sleep and was naturally a bit crabby!!

Have your tried contacting hotels to see if they have any interlocking rooms? I used to work for a budget hotel and they had rooms which connected to each other - I know its a pain to have to pay for two rooms but thought it might help :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990980282867423111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798203692536483855.post-68163710620940148992016-06-04T22:19:21.351+01:002016-06-04T22:19:21.351+01:00we have three kids and frustratingly find the same...we have three kids and frustratingly find the same problem! Doubles our cost as we often have to book two hotel rooms. Some hotels are fine with us all squeezing into one room but others say they don't allow it for health and safety. We did discover that all the rooms at legoland hotel cater for 3 kids and 2 adults so that felt like a breakthrough as it is somewhere that has considered the needs of families when they built it.

I just needed to decide which of my sons would be sent to the other room on their own. I'm thinking the baby so then I can get some sleep ;-) No, in all honesty, it is a pain.

This year will actually be our very first family holiday abroad (our kids are 11, 9 and 5) and we have been lucky enough to find a resort which has a 2 bed apartment sleeping 6. Nobody could understand why we couldn't afford to go abroad before, when my husband has a fairly well paid job, as trying to explain that in most cases we had to book 2 separate rooms seemed crazy. Most people with smaller families say "surely you can book a family room" but they don't understand that the majority of these only sleep 4. So frustrating!!! <br />Linzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818935727336769203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798203692536483855.post-29660247579488148362016-06-03T09:44:17.875+01:002016-06-03T09:44:17.875+01:00I don't think they make it easy cost or planni...I don't think they make it easy cost or planning wise. Some places are better than others but there's very little common sense and a lot of "how much £ can we squeeze" I think about the holiday industry in general! Hope you do manage to get something booked! #effitfriday Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
