Drayton Manor

This hotel - of which the pic shows the view from the top landing down to the lobby - is like a sort of Vegas for tots. The lobby is peopled with figures, c 4ft high, from the stories of Thomas the Tank Engine, and there are several Thomas-themed family rooms. You can tell them by the fact that they have engines outside them. With faces. There are small children everywhere, and our grandchildren, forming as the do a natural gang, are the ... liveliest.
