Gleneagles
Auchterarder, Perthshire, Scotland
The rare five-star that takes children as seriously as golfers. Little ones get a proper crèche, older kids a den of their own, and everyone can have a go at falconry or driving a Land Rover across the estate. Parents get dinner in peace and a spa that is genuinely grown-up. Expensive, but it delivers.
