Hendra Holidays asked us to visit their holiday park in exchange for this review. I knew as I strapped the kids into the car for the drive from Nottingham to Newquay that our family holiday at Hendra Holiday Park was going to be worth the effort. We had plenty of snacks, drinks and fully charged…

It was Indie’s birthday at the weekend, so we decided to head over to the Red Kangaroo Trampoline Park in Nottingham to celebrate. We’ve not been to a trampoline park as a family before so this was a first for all of us. What is Red Kangaroo Trampoline Park Like? Getting to Red Kangaroo We…
We love the opportunity to pop into town, so when we were invited to review Red Dog Saloon restaurant in Nottingham I knew we couldn’t say no. Finding good places for family dining is important to us, so we went along one Sunday with the girls to check out the restaurant. Red Dog Saloon is…
I can’t believe I’ve not written a ‘things to do in Nottingham’ post until now. I’ve lived in the city for well over 20 years and all three of my children have grown up here. I’d like to think that makes me a bit of an expert on things to do and what to see…

I have to confess I’d never heard of Cofton Holidays in Devon until very recently. Since our stay at the luxury apartments at the Cofton Holiday Park in Devon, I’ve been telling everyone about them. It seems only right for me to share our Cofton Holiday here with you too. Brook and I drove from…
A Special Family Weekend in London We are huge fans of taking the kids on London city breaks, and it’s made so much easier by the fact that taking the train from Nottingham is really convenient for us. The kids love a train journey anyway, and it always makes travelling a little bit easier for…
