Families at Calcot & Spa

Welcome to Calcot, kids!

Calcot is not just ‘child-friendly’, we’re fully geared up for our smaller guests. You can eat, swim, or explore our grounds as a family. It’s all here for you to enjoy together; this is your Cotswold playground!

Things to note for families

  • Can you organise babysitting?

    Absolutely, babysitting can be arranged with 48 hours notice at £25 per hour and will be billed to your room. All of our sitters are DBS checked and many are our lovely nannies from The Playbarn, so have first aid training and are confident in caring for children of all ages.

  • How does the child listening service work?

    This unique system allows parents to relax during their evening in the knowledge that should the little ones wake up that we'll be listening and can let them know. To use this free service anytime, simply press the button on the monitor to activate the listening device and then let the reception team know.

  • Can children use the spa?

    Yes, the spa is open to our little guests for children’s swimming in our indoor pool from 3.45pm until 5.15pm every afternoon and from 8.45am until 10.15am on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Outside of these times, Calcot Spa is for our adult guests only. The heated outdoor pool is open every day during the summer months (May to October) from 8:00am until 8:00pm. Children can enjoy a splash anytime with adult supervision.

  • Do you provide travel cots?

    Of course! We have traditional wooden cots available or easily assembled travel cots. These can be ready in room if requested on booking.

  • How long can my child/ren enjoy The Playbarn each day?

    Our younger guests can enjoy up to 4 hours of unlimited fun in The Playbarn every day from 9:00am until 1:00pm or from 1.30pm until 5.30pm. Our team of qualified nannies will ensure everyone has a great time, with lots of toys, games and activities for all ages. Booking is essential for under 2’s as places are limited.

  • What is Kids' Tea?

    Calcot Kids' Tea is served every afternoon in The Brasserie from 5:00pm to 6:00pm. Expect home-cooked family favourites (check out our dining pages for a sample menu). Little guests staying with us have Kids' tea included in their stay so there's no need to book, just show up. Parents are welcome to eat at Kids' Tea and if children would like to eat with their parents later in the evening, they have an allowance of £7.50 each towards food.

  • What can I expect to find in your family rooms?

    All our family rooms and suites have the following in them as standard... Baby listening monitor | Baby box to include steriliser (with cleaning brush and washing-up liquid) | Changing mat and bottle warmer | Optional wooden or travel cot | Child’s Farm 2-in-1 wash/shampoo | Bath toys | Nappy bin (if needed) | Step-up stool | Little bathrobes.
