Family holidays

Our range of children’s activities makes it easy for families with children of all ages to plan a holiday that everyone will love.

Each day is a big adventure, with organised games and activities, evening entertainment and our ‘Kids’ Zone’ and ‘XA Club’ where they can play safely and meet new friends. There’s two miles of sandy beach right outside the door and surf lessons, rocking pooling and caves to explore; your children will never want to go home!

What you need to know…

Evening supervision – 3-7 years (all year round)

Between 6:30pm and 9:30pm our Ofsted registered Kids’ Zone is fully supervised to allow you to enjoy dinner. Parents must remain within the hotel grounds and there are limited places available.
Parents who are not staying at Watergate Bay Hotel but are dining at either The Brasserie, The Beach Hut, the Living Space or Fifteen Cornwall may be able totake advantage of our Kids’ Zone and evening supervision. Prices per child start from £7 per hour. Places must be booked in advance.

Evening supervision – 7-12 years (school holidays)

Evening supervision and entertainment is available during the school holidays at the XA Club in our Games Room. This includes table tennis, table football, crafts, internet access and games consoles. We show PG or U rated films each evening and weather permitting we arrange beach games too.

Baby listening

Watergate Bay Hotel operates a baby listening service which can also be used at The Beach Hut and Fifteen Cornwall. This is an electronic system and is used in conjunction with our telephone system. Responsibility for the child remains with the parents at all times and it is recommended that parents check on their children regularly. Parents are not permitted to leave the hotel grounds when using the service.

Baby sitting

We can provide a babysitter between 6pm and 2am, so that you can enjoy an evening out! All of our babysitters are Kids’ Zone staff. The minimum booking time is 3 hours and fees will be charged to your room account. Please give us at least 24 hours to arrange a sitter for you.

Children’s meals

Kids tea is served at 5pm in the dining room or children can join their parents in the dining room for dinner, if preferred. We are happy to puree any of our freshly prepared food for your baby. A secure parents’ kitchen with microwave, washing up facilities and fridge is available at all times and high chairs are supplied in all our restaurants.
