The Sandbanks, Dorset
The hotel name and location says it all. The Sandbanks Hotel is located in one of the most prestigious parts of Dorset, perhaps even, England. The hotel is situated on the sandy beachfront, a Blue Flag beach, which stretches for 7 miles. Ideal if you are looking to stretch the legs and explore some of the southern coastline, perhaps even checking out some of the most expensive beachfront houses in the country. A major drawing point to The Sandbanks Hotel is the childcare. There is plenty going on and the entertainers really do keep the kids entertained. Staying here can be a little pricey, mainly due to its location, but service and standard also justify for what you pay for a family holiday or break here.
