The Scottish Highlands are one of the world’s most spectacular places to enjoy a holiday. They are the perfect destination for a luxury family lodge holiday. What could be better after an exciting day exploring than arriving back at your luxury lodge to chill out and recap all the day’s adventures? The Hollie’s Retreat offers […]
The Sooty show is currently on tour again until at least April 2024. My son was first introduced to Sooty when we met him at Springfields, Spalding at a free outdoor mini-show. He fell in love with Sooty and his friends just as I did when I was his age. Sooty is a British institution. […]
One thing we enjoy doing is going to see a major muster by the English Civil War re-enactment group the Sealed Knot. They reenact a number of battles from the period and one of our favourite re-enactments was the battle of Edge-hill. This couldn’t take place at the site itself but was held nearby at […]
A little while ago we enjoyed a wonderful luxury woodland break at North Star club near York. The site is set in 500 acres of beautiful woodlands and has 8 unique woodland suites. We stayed in the Sitwell Suite which I will review in my post below. Check-in at North Star club is between 4 […]
We really enjoyed taking our touring caravan to Searles Leisure in Hunstanton, Norfolk. We visited in the height of summer which we had to book way in advance. This was mostly to benefit from a cheaper rate but also so that they weren’t sold out. The price I paid included entertainment passes. You can also […]
I have had my eye on Turtle Bay in Nottingham for a while now. They have over 40 restaurants across the UK and are the only chain, on our shores, serving Caribbean food. It’s not a cuisine we eat much of so I was keen to try it out. I am a big fan of […]
It’s that time of year again. Time to start thinking and planning for the summer ahead. Why not consider a summer activity holiday abroad? Are you the kind of family that likes to get out and about and make life that little bit more epic? Then read on for ideas and inspiration. Today I’m bringing […]
This list was mostly made by our now nearly 9-year-old when he was 7. I have added a few myself afterwards but these are mostly his ideas and I feel they work pretty well for just about all ages. This is a UK-based list of all the ultimate summer bucket list things to do with […]
Sundown Adventureland in North Nottinghamshire is a great theme park for under 10s. During the winter they transform into one of the best places to meet Santa in the East Midlands. This is a review from a previous year and some aspects may not be the same this year. Please check their website. Sundown Marketplace […]
Kimmeridge Bay is another famous fossil-hunting beach. The cliff-top car park is privately owned so there is a charge to park. A short walk down a path will take you directly onto the beach, but take care it is slippy and rocky. Directly in front of you on the beach is a concrete gun turret. […]
In my opinion, one of the best Christmas days out is a visit to Stockeld Park. They even have a track that is only used in the winter for Nordic Skiing. I’m not sure there’s anywhere else in the UK where families can do this. They also happen to be very good at winter illuminations. […]
Visiting Sitges with kids is an experience you will all cherish forever. A Mediterranean pearl in Catalonia in Northeast Spain, it provides ample activities for children of all ages while offering sophistication for the adults. Sometimes, when we plan our family holidays, we focus so much on keeping the kids happy that the adults are […]
