Top US-based Mom-Site Tips Baby-Friendly Boltholes

The name says it all but CoolMomPicks.com is one fabulous website. Stuffed with brilliant finds for Mums & Moms everywhere. As they say:

"Our writers also look for helpful websites, cool causes, fabulous nursery art, battery-free toys, kid tunes that don't make you run screaming from the room, and pretty much anything else that strikes our fancy. If it’s something we would like ourselves and the website doesn’t scar your retinas, it’s a pick."

Mini-et-Moi Reviews BFB's New Spa Section

Mini-et-Moi, the London-based blog which  focuses on mums continuing to have an active life avec bébé (but one which doesn’t necessarily resolve exclusively around said bebe), has reviewed BFB's new spa section (developed with Essential Escapes & TotsToo). They say....

The spa selection showcases 12 properties picked and experienced first-hand by Baby-Friendly Boltholes. It’s easy to navigate with a clever key and search function for quick browsing. And the fun reviews have everything you need, like knowing how much babysitting costs (so you’re not hit with a nasty little surprise on your departure), getting to know the ins and outs of the kids’ club before Junior does, or planning meals for your fussy little duck.  Whoever said you can’t shut the stable door after the (rocking) horse has bolted, didn’t know about Baby-friendly Boltholes!

What Mini says:  And I thought cucumbers were just for eating … this face-mask brings a whole new dimension to finger foods!

Two BFB's Named as 'UK's Most Romantic'

Sleep-deprived new parents amongst us may take heart from learning that two out of the 10 cottages listed in the Sunday Telegraph's '10 Best UK Cottages for Lovers'  last month are Baby-Friendly Boltholes. The indulgent slipper bath, huge French antique style bed, real fires and scenic forest location of Twin Cottage earned it second place. Whilst the glamorous water's-edge terrace, pebble fire, luxury spa and bedside views of multi-million pound yachts, scored 26 Dart Marina high ratings too. Both properties offer separate bedrooms for cots and pre-bookable babysitting.... what more can you ask for?
