I’m often reminded by my parents that my first camping experience was when I was still in nappies. So holidays under canvas are nothing new to me. However, back in 2016 glamping was. This was when we were invited to review a safari tent at Crealy Meadows in Devon. Crealy Meadows is a camping and…
I know it’s early but I couldn’t wait any longer to tell you where we’ll be celebrating our Christmas this year – the baby-friendly cottages at Bosinver Farm in Cornwall. We’ve had a special invite from Nanny Pat and Farmer Dave to become blogging ambassadors for Bosinver and it was an offer we couldn’t resist. Mr…
If you are looking for a Devon holiday park on the beach then you must check out Ladram Bay Holiday Park in East Devon. It’s a static and touring caravan site on the beautiful Jurassic Coast with all the facilities you need for the perfect family staycation. Read on to find out more about our…
It was 1am. Our flight to Barcelona from the UK had been delayed and I’d just spent 35 minutes clinging on to my girls in the back of a taxi as we weaved through the city. It would be fair to say I was coming to the end of my energy reserves when we arrived…
It’s not often we go for bed and breakfast breaks. In fact the last time we stayed at a B&B was in 2006 in what is now our hometown of Dartmouth. Mr Tin Box was doing his initial training with the Royal Navy and it was cost effective and homely accommodation for when I visited…

This summer, we were lucky enough to win a competition to stay in a brand spanking new Bailey Unicorn Cartagena at the Hillhead Caravan Club site in Devon. The competition was run by the Caravan Club to come up with ideas for the Meek family’s 2015 list of 100 summer…
We all go on holiday for a break. It may be to escape the rat-run, broaden our horizons or try new things. Top of the wish list when you are on a family get-away is spending quality time with your loved ones. However, the irony is that many parents fear they won’t be able to…
Meet Tin Box 2 – a 2011 Vanmaster Applause and our new companion for weekend and holiday adventures. It’s a big step up from Tin Box 1 – our much loved 2009 Bailey Senator Arizona which we said goodbye to in March. We wouldn’t have dreamed of having such a posh set of wheels if it…
