CBEEBIES LAND I

F you’re looking for a place to create magical childhood memories for your family then look no further.

It has just opened its doors right here in the UK and it’s the first-ever CBeebies themed hotel.

For parents with little ones CBeebies is the go-to TV channel – from waking up with the Teletubbies to going to bed after seeing Iggle Piggle and Co off to theirs’ – it’s got something for everyone.

So the team at Alton Towers decided that the best thing to complement the CBeebies Land theme park is its very own hotel designed just for pre-schoolers and families.

My 22-month-old was amazed before the doors even opened – guests are greeted by a colourful helterskelter and the CBeebies plane. But from talking to fellow guests it hits the spot for older children too – one mum told me her eight-yearold was as interested as her five-year-old.

Here’s what you can expect: characters from the hit TV show and with interactive games on the walls.

Each room has a separate sleeping area for the kids with bunkbeds and space for a cot. It means once they’re tucked up us parents can relax without having to tip-toe around our sleeping beauties.

Rooms have everything you could need – a fridge, kettle, ironing board and iron, baby bath, children’s toilet seat, bottle warmer and nappy bin.

Top tip: If you want to keep the cost down book into the CBeebies Bugbies rooms, they’re as colourful and interactive as the Premium character-themed rooms.
