Reviews and tips for Family travel as a large family.
Day 2 of our stay at Andrewshayes holiday park and my boy had to leave early to head back to work (boooooo!!!!) Being with someone who works offshore can be tough but my main way to make the time apart go faster is to keep myself busy busy busy. With this in mind the girls and I jumped in the car and headed over to Lyme Regis for the afternoon. It was another beautifully sunny day so the seaside town of Lyme Regis was a perfect destination. The girls are used to the golden sands of our Poole beaches so they…

I left off in my last post in a packed car, singing to Moana as we headed from Cornwall to Devon for part two of our half term break. We arrived at Andrewshayes Holiday Park at about 8pm, all pretty exhausted from a busy day we wasted no time in unpacking our bits and getting a good night sleep. First impressions were great the caravan was immaculate, well equipped and had loads of storage. I was so excited to see we had been upgraded from a luxury 3 bed to a luxury 3 bed WITH HOT TUB! Well it took…

As you may have spotted on my social media a few weeks ago the girls, Scott and I headed west for a few days in the cornish countryside. I love Cornwall, it’s one of those places that brings back so many fond childhood memories for me. I spent many summers visiting my grandparents in Cornwall, it’s a place I want my children to experience as I did. We were invited down to Rumsdale Cottage by Cornish Traditional Cottages for a few days of family fun. Half term was so welcome; as much as I love having a routine the school…

Following on from yesterdays fun day exploring all that Ladram bay had to offer, we set off early in search of new (slightly messier) adventure. We were invited down to The Bear Trail to get stuck in to their muddy obstacle corse. The Bear Trail is designed to bring back to old fashioned types of play that children love, they want to see families out their working together, having a laugh and all embracing the muddy fun! That is exactly what we did. The obstacles varied in difficulty, there were a couple Lottie couldn’t really do but on the whole…

Last week I swept my boy off to the Christchurch Harbour Hotel as a little birthday treat! A completely selfless act as of corse spending the day in a spa doesn’t appeal to me at all (cough cough). As much as I was sweeping him off I was so excited to have a little break myself. Off we set for Christchurch; It’s only a 40 minute drive for us so we arrived pretty early. Our room wasn’t quite ready to check into but I had assumed this would be the case so we headed into the Upper Deck restaurant for a…

Half term is here! One week whole week off from the school runs and plenty of quality time to enjoy with our little ones. Like any parent, my girls can drive me round the bend sometimes but I do love it when they are off. By Thursday I will probably be eating my words and counting down the days until they go back to school. For now I am planning our week with excitement here is 10 things to do with the kids this half term in Dorset. Percy park keeper trail and Moors Valley – As long as the…

The count down to Camp Bestival is well and truly on. This year is the 10th anniversary of the iconic family festival and I just know 2017 is going to be bigger and better than ever. The awesome Pop Stars and Rock Stars theme being announced along with new preformers being added to the long list acts every week. These are the most recent acts, I can’t wait to see Anne-Marie she’s brilliant. I made the mistake of telling the girls we were going again this year and have had daily questions of “are we going next week?” or “what colour will our…
