Making family holidays stylish, safe, and stress-free since 2007.
Travelling with babies and toddlers isn’t always easy. As parents, we know the packing lists feel endless, and finding places that are truly baby-friendly can be overwhelming. That’s why Baby Friendly Boltholes was born – to take the guesswork out of family holidays and help parents travel with confidence.
Founded in 2007 by a new mum frustrated by the lack of stylish yet practical holiday options, BFB has grown into the UK’s leading curated collection of baby and toddler-friendly stays. Every property is handpicked and vetted by real parents to ensure it meets our high standards for safety, comfort, and design – because parents deserve holidays that are as relaxing and inspiring as they are practical.
Travel Confidently With Your Little Ones
Our mission is simple:
To help families with babies and toddlers enjoy stress-free, stylish holidays. We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between a beautiful property and practical baby-friendly features. At BFB, you get both.

Sian Williams
BFB Founder and frazzled mum!
Baby-Friendly Boltholes is my second baby. My first was born in July 2005 and opened my eyes to a whole new world of holidays. After a 12-year career spent in the luxury travel business, I’ll admit to being a little bit spoilt when it comes to the style, attention to detail and facilities I expect when I stay somewhere and this inspired me to launch Baby-Friendly Boltholes. Like most parents, I thought holidays and mini-breaks would never be the same again with a baby or toddler in tow.
Thankfully I was wrong. Friends and colleagues in the tourism industry and the travel media came forward with recommendations that promised I wouldn’t have to sacrifice my tastes for my toddler or return needing another break to recover!
Before I knew it, I had a list of baby-friendly accommodation that I’d not just be happy to visit, but actually excited by the prospect and I decided to spread the word via Baby-Friendly Boltholes. So, if you’re looking for somewhere that combines taste with toddlers and most importantly is run by the kind of people who know that it takes far more than a travel cot and a highchair to make a family-friendly holiday, look no further!

James DamaaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They provided a great service helping us select a family holiday which ended up being amazing! Will use again! Colette SintonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were lucky enough to have Vicki's expertise and support in finding our family holiday in Zakynthos this summer. After finding out exactly what we hoped for and needed, Vicki was able to find our perfect holiday - we were so looking forward to it and couldn't have been more delighted. Vicki's communication was informative and proactive throughout - our happiness with the arrangements was of the utmost importance to her and I felt I could get in touch with any queries. These were addressed swiftly and efficiently. I really felt like she went the extra mile in helping us plan our holiday and ensuring we were comfortable with all aspects. Highly recommend!! MAGGIE OAKLANDTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used baby friendly bolt holes to book a trip to Portugal. Tori was really helpful in helping us book, manage transfers, etc. On our departure day we had unexpected passport issues - Tori was straight on to the hotel and arranged for us to stay a couple of days later than planned. She was brilliant and really diffused the stress of a heart sink situation. Would definitely book with these guys again. Hannah RoseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since our daughter was born 2.5 years ago, we have booked every single trip away with BFB. We have never been disappointed, and I have pretty high expectations when it comes to holidays! They respond so quickly to every query and have got us some great deals. I trust them fully with what are such crucial decisions about our much needed holidays and recommend them to every parent I know! I would be lost without them! Tom DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The matching service was really useful Chris ReddingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I submitted some basic details on their form on a Sunday evening and Tori got back to me the next day. We exchanged several emails and spoke on the phone. Tori was well informed, responsive and thorough. I was able to book a place that looks great with her help. It was great to have help from someone who specialises in family holidays, as our requirements are pretty different now compared to before having kids. I don't actually think I've ever had a personal service to help book a holiday before. Maybe this is what it was like when people used to go to the travel agent on the high street... Thanks Tori and BFB, would recommend and use again. Jessica TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Baby Friendly Boltholes by doing a Google search, and completed their online form with my holiday requirements. They got back to me very quickly with some great recommendations which were also very cost effective. Unfortunately due to a change in circumstances we're unable to book at this time, but I will definitely go back to Baby Friendly Boltholes when we're in a position to move forward with our booking. Thanks! Joel DaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really fast and easy, available on a Sunday to complete our booking. Highly recommended Samantha ClarkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Juliet at babyboltholes enough, from our initial enquiry right through to booking, she was responsive, understanding and patient. I didn’t even know where to start booking our first family holiday, Juliet took onboard all our needs and found us our dream trip. 5 star service for busy parents!
