Perfect for family holidays when you want to have a relaxing evening in the hotel bar or restaurant, knowing that your sleeping child is being safely monitored.

Simply plug the device into a telephone line, (or with ‘Bebetel Mobile’ into a compatible mobile phone) programme in the number of the phone you would like to ring for you if your child cries (this can be a mobile or land line number) and it’s as simple as that.

When your phone rings you can answer the call and actually hear your child and assess the nature of the problem as you return to their aid. You can even talk to them via the built-in loud speaker to reassure them.

Foreign telephone adapters can also be purchased for use of the Bebetel abroad.

Once the fresh air has tired them out there is an extensive library of videos and DVDs, a games room, toys for all ages and a whole castle complete with towers and turrets to explore.

Most bedrooms are big enough to comfortably take two extra beds, all the bathrooms are big, some are enormous and there are catered and self catering options with both adult and children's dietary whims accommodated.

• Spacious & flexible accommodation
• Special meal times and menus
• Indoor & outdoor activities for all ages
