Our recent short break in Bath in the South West of England was full of firsts. It was my first city break with the kids on my own; we travelled by coach; and we stayed in a youth hostel. It was a fun few days and I was really impressed with YHA Bath as an…
We like to think of ourselves as being reasonably well travelled with kids. Since the girls came along we’ve taken them on road trips, trains, ferry rides and aeroplanes. But one form of transport we’ve not tried with them is coaches. During May half term the opportunity arose to put that right as the girls…
Heads up glamping fans as I have a fabulous review about glamping in Devon to share with you. When I was approached by a glamping site in Cullompton, Devon, I was gutted that I couldn’t get our diary to work so we could visit. Luckily, my friend Lorraine from Secret Mum Blog was able to…
When it comes to holidays with kids I’ve decided we don’t have a particular style. We’ve enjoyed everything from glamping to luxury, all-inclusive family holidays, and have returned home with brilliant shared memories regardless of whether we rounded off each day barbecuing sausages by a yurt or sipping cocktails by a pool. The thing that…
If you are looking for places to visit within easy reach of London then Salisbury must be on your destination list. But rather than do the standard day trip why not put down roots for a few days and really get to know the city? This is what we did in Salisbury with kids over…
First, my best advice if you are thinking of booking a weekend break in Hebden Bridge is: reassess your dates and book for longer! Visit Calderdale invited us to stay in Hebden Bridge and explore some of West Yorkshire’s family-friendly attractions over a weekend at the beginning of October half term. We packed a lot…
Picture the scene: you’ve just had an epic day out with the kids at Crealy Adventure Park in Devon. You rode the rollercoasters, got drenched on the Tidal Wave log flume and went for one too many spins in Nepture’s Tea Cups. Now you have to drag your damp kids back to the car for…
There’s something extra special about starting a vacation with a ferry ride. Drive or step onboard and quite literally sail away from the every day for an extraordinary family holiday. We love island holidays and have experienced a few with and without the children, and not in some of the far flung corners of the…
Where are you holidaying this year? Chances are it’s in the UK. Travel trends are showing that us Brits and moving away from foreign summer jaunts with more of us favouring visits to UK destinations. Staying at home is the new alternative to chasing the sun. I for one am looking forward to a UK…
One month; 20 nights away; six cities; three hotels; two countries; two flights; one cruise; one solo trip; another holiday with the girls; and shed loads of amazing memories. That about sums up an exceptional May of travel and family fun. Family travel blog life is treating us well and I hope you’ve got plenty…
