Children: how to make them feel truly welcome in your rental
Welcoming children isn't always easy, but with a few simple touches you can give the parents (and yourself) a wonderful holiday!
A new challenge for your rental: welcoming children. How can you make sure that both the parents and the children have the best possible experience? Here are all our tips!
Inside your property
It isn't something we always think about, but picture yourself in the shoes of a four-year-old when it's raining outside and there's nothing to do. As adults, we can always find something to keep us busy, but for them it's trickier. So, to make sure everyone can enjoy themselves and the parents can take the pressure off a little, get one step ahead!
Why not provide a little toy chest filled with treasures for the children? The parents will be delighted, and as for the children, well, need we say more?
Filling it needn't cost you a fortune. Here's what we suggest:
- Booksfor all ages, fromBoulinierorRecyclivre
- A few board games: from a car boot sale, onVinted,Leboncoin, or your own children's games that they no longer play with...
- Simple recipesthat are easy to make with mum and dad: you can print off cards fromMarmitonorAufeminin
- DVDsor restrictedNetflixorAmazonaccess (which the parents can keep an eye on)
Finally, don't forget the garden. If the parents don't fancy going out, what could the children do in your garden? Do mention it if you have farm animals, a vegetable patch or a swing: anything that might appeal to parents!
In the local area
Having what's needed inside your rental really is important. But now it's time to think about the world outside. What is there nearby to interest them?
You could leave a little notebook or, even better, your StyQR welcome book with all the information you consider important.
For example:
- Walkssuitable for children
- Playgrounds
- Gardens, zoos and so on
- Restaurantsthat lay on activities for children
This list will make life easier for parents and earn you extra points when it comes to reviews! Follow all these little tips and everyone's holiday will go smoothly, and your rating will stay top-notch because you'll have thought of everything for the parents!
