During our visit to Devon this summer we were invited to the Two Bridges Hotel which can be found in the very heart of the exceptionally beautiful Dartmoor National Park. It’s also the sister hotel of The Bedford Hotel, where we also had the pleasure of staying for the night during our visit to Tavistock. On arrival, we…
We had been looking forward to arriving at the Bedford Hotel in Tavistock for a few days by the time we checked in. We had been camping at a festival over the weekend, and the lack of hot showers and mud had finally got to us. We began to fill with excitement as sat nav…
When you think of a family holiday in Europe, places like Portugal, France and Spain will instantly spring to mind. But even with places like Spain, there are certain areas you just wouldn’t consider as, on paper, they don’t seem suitable for a family holiday. Marbella is definitely one of those places. Known as the…
When you think of booking a holiday to the UK, everyone one thinks that London is the best city to go to. Don’t get me wrong, London is a great city to visit, but the UK has a number of cities that offer great sight seeing opportunities and lots of things to do for…
Just the thought of a family holiday in Florida makes me feel excited and it’s something that is very much on the horizon for us in the near future, maybe one of those Orlando resorts? That’s why this list of things to do in Florida has been planned for a while now. I’m desperate to…
There’s always a lot going on in a busy house isn’t there? Families notoriously have a lot to juggle in their daily lives. There’s the battle of getting ready for the day with repetitive requests to get dressed, clean teeth and pack the school bag. Once we’ve tackled getting ready, it’s time to deal with…
We made some lovely memories as a family on our recent weekend trip to London which you might have seen on the blog recently. I thought it would be a good idea to round up our experience incase you were looking for some inspiration to plan a trip to London with your family. We travel regularly with our…
Going to Buckingham Palace is probably on every travel itinerary for tourists who are visiting London, especially for the first time. The Royal Mews is just next door but is probably a less visited attraction, which I think is a real shame. During our family weekend at Hilton London Canary Wharf I really wanted to…
Taking young children on a city break is not with out challenges, but the rewards far outweigh the hurdles you have to overcome. Staying at the Hilton London Canary Wharf is definitely a good place to consider if you want a successful city break with kids. Our children are 3 and 5 years old, and…
Since we visited Amsterdam, so many people have said to me they had not thought of taking their children to the city, which I think is a real shame given that there are so many things to do in Amsterdam with kids. In the UK, Amsterdam still seems to have a reputation for being an…
If you need ideas of where to take kids in Amsterdam then one place I suggest you put at the top of your list is the NEMO Science Museum. It’s an interactive playground for children of all ages, and will be a guaranteed highlight for any family break in the city. The NEMO Science Museum building…
For years I wanted to travel more, but was always held back by one thing and another. I worked a full time job, didn’t feel I had enough time to travel and always seemed to have other priorities. Since my lifestyle changed and I became self employed, I’ve been able to focus a lot more…
This Easter we have been invited to take a short break at Butlin’s in Minehead and we are one very excited family. They are a holiday brand I’ve been keeping an eye on for a while as I can remember visiting Butlin’s in Skegness when I was a child. Things have changed a lot since the…
A cruise can mean very different things to different people. To one person, it might mean a chance to see more of our world and experience new places and cultures that they never thought they would see. To a couple, it might be a getaway, a little time away from real life to be together…
If you are looking for a great place to stay near Disneyland Paris or want a family friendly holiday park in France with lots of activities then I think I’ve found you the perfect holiday destination for you. I’m really excited to be able to share with you Al Fresco Holiday’s La Croix Du Vieux Post…
We’ve been thinking a lot about where we want to visit in the UK this year as a family. One of our travel goals for 2017 is to show the children more of the country where they live. We are lucky enough to have a lot of beautiful countryside, really historic places as well as…
