Have you heard of Kid & Coe? It’s basically a super stylish Air BnB for families. Rather than worrying about looking for hotels that are family friendly, you can book one of their kid-friendly holiday rentals – places that usually come complete with everything you need from stargates to high chairs and children’s books and toys. Better still, you get family-friendly recommendations of things to do in that location.

But do you know what’s almost as good as staying in a Kid & Coe property?

Just browsing the website, picking which places we wish we lived in. Yes, that’s a thing, and just add a few glasses of wine and a pack of pretzels and you have yourself a brilliant night in, right there. Don’t believe us? Look…
