We LOVE Butlins in our household. Today I am bringing you my 8 great reasons to book a holiday to Butlins. For us, we are just a short drive away from Butlins at Skegness and it always seems like millions of miles away from home. Butlins just has three resorts now, Skegness, Minehead and Bognor […]
We enjoyed a lovely short break staying three nights at Forest Holidays, Sherwood Forest. I had this on our must-visit soon list for ages. I’ve always loved the look of Forest Holidays, especially their forest locations with hot tubs. Forest Holidays have a number of locations across the UK including 8 in England, 2 in […]
We love our weekend breaks in York. There is so much to do within this great City, especially for families. We had such a great time that I just couldn’t wait to start writing about it. This time we were visiting courtesy of Visit York who kindly provided us with a York Pass for the […]
We like to stay at caravan parks with evening entertainment as we prefer to go out in the evening rather than sit in our caravan. However, Deer’s Glade Caravan and Camping Park in Norfolk was a step outside of the norm for us. I was a big fan of the place, my husband not so […]
We have recently returned from a lovely weekend away to Stratford-Upon-Avon in Warwickshire, the West Midlands. It’s somewhere that I have visited a few times, when I was younger with my family, and I have some very fond memories from our times there. Our 4-year-old, pre-holiday, had no clue who William Shakespeare was. We stayed […]
We arrived at Camp Katur in North Yorkshire in a supposed shower. It was in actual fact a torrential and continuous downpour. What is it with the British weather this year? I have a funny feeling summer isn’t going to be quite as hot as last year. We followed the signs in and parked up […]
Opened in the summer of 2022 is The Hex Hotel at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. We were visiting for the Winter Illuminations and as it’s a 1hr30 drive back home I decided to book us a stay over in their hotel. For £200 I booked an Interconnecting Family Room. This, I felt, was great value for […]
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 […]
It was that time of year again when we have our annual weekend break in York. It’s becoming a winter tradition and it’s a weekend away that I really look forward to. There is just so much for families to do in York and after three weekends there over the past 3 years we still […]
I was given a $250 glamping voucher about a year and a half ago to book ourselves a glamping holiday somewhere. I really struggled to find anywhere that would accept our voucher though. Luckily I eventually found Baxby Manor in Huthswaite near York, North Yorkshire and we booked in for a couple of nights this […]
For the past two years, we have taken a mini-break to Bournemouth to see family. Both times we have stayed at the Highcliff Marriott Bournemouth. It’s a great location and a good and comfortable hotel. Please read on for my review of the Highcliff Hotel. It is currently rated very well on Booking.com with an […]
