FAMILY BREAKS
Along with our spacious family friendly rooms, our stunning family facilities are designed with all ages in mind. From cosy movie nights in our in-house cinema, endless fun in the games room, to creative adventures at our exciting kids’ club, Coconuts, we’ve thought of everything to make your family holiday both fun and stress free.
What’s more, THE NICI is just a stone’s throw from some of the UK’s biggest, best-loved attractions. Spend the day making magical memories at Paultons Park, explore the beauty at the award-winning New Forest National Park, or dive into the family activities and events happening nearby throughout the year.
Family Rooms
Our Family Rooms feature a super-king bed plus two additional single beds, so you can sleep up to four. Modern, bright and Miami-styled, our bedrooms are perfect for the family. Our family rooms also include free Wi-Fi, a Nespresso coffee machine and a flat screen TV.
Choose from our Inland Family Rooms or our Family Annexe Rooms, which are separate from the main hotel with their own entrance and also invite furry friends to stay.
Coconuts – THE NICI Kids Club
The home of on-site fun and games, Coconuts – THE NICI Kids Club – is open for our little VIPs aged 4+. Running every weekend and throughout school holidays, Coconuts is the perfect place for kids to let their imaginations run wild. From arts and crafts to music and more, there’s always something new to discover. With the magic touch of local Children’s Entertainer Minky Moos, the club is designed to keep young guests entertained, engaged, and smiling – giving parents the chance to relax and enjoy some much-needed peace and quiet.
Family Fun Entertainment and Swimming
The little (and big) kids will be entertained at THE NICI, whatever the weather, with our in-house cinema showing family-friendly movies and a games room. Let them get lost in the magic of film whilst snacking on popcorn.
