A holiday rental company has launched a competition to find the nation’s top family destination.

More than 500 British families put forward ideas, based on factors including entertainment, variety of food services and safety.

Eighteen locations have been selected and are competing in three categories - seaside, rural and urban.

Most of the finalists can be found in England while two Welsh communities, Conwy and Tenby, represent seaside and rural respectively.
