Holiday Inn Shepperton near Heathrow Airport

From the moment you walk through the door of the Holiday Inn London Shepperton, you'll notice this hotel is as family-friendly as it is luxurious. It's an AA-approved four-star hotel set in 11 acres of grounds - with a children's activity table at check-in so they don't get bored. Kids under 14 eat free in the restaurant, which has a children's menu; they're welcome in the leisure club and the CBeebies TV channel is available in all the rooms. Though we're not saying kids' TV appeals exclusively to children ...
