  1. What to bring

What to bring

If you need baby food, nappies or anything else, there are supermarkets to provide almost everything you need and they can arrange shopping for you too.

Toys are normally kept in chalets and so are books and DVDs but Merinannies advise you to bring your child's favourites e.g. a blanket, book, beaker as they can be very comforting in a strange environment. They bring arts and crafts and books to entertain the children indoors.

Before you travel, they advise you to check with your chalet manager to find out what facilities they have to accommodate children and babies, especially if you need high chairs, cots and buggies.

Essentials to bring are: Indoor and outdoor shoes and/or slippers, waterproof jackets for play outside, boots, warm hats, gloves, scarf, sunscreen, sunglasses (even for babies) or goggles and Calpol, although there are other versions of this in resort.
