AD – Press Trip with Visit Southampton Looking for things to do in Southampton with kids? We recently spent 48 hours in the city on a family press trip with Visit Southampton, and I was genuinely surprised by just how much we managed to fit into two days. Southampton makes a great option for a family city break. It’s also really easy to explore, with many of the main attractions within walking distance of one another. Here’s how we spent 48 hours in Southampton with kids. Day One: BOOM BATTLE BAR Southampton Our first stop was BOOM BATTLE BAR Southampton,…

Looking for the perfect family weekend away? After spending 48 hours exploring the beautiful city of Bath, I can honestly say it’s one of our favourite UK city breaks we’ve done as a family. With its stunning Georgian architecture, fascinating history, gorgeous parks and plenty of family-friendly restaurants, Bath really does have something for everyone. Whether you’re visiting with a baby, toddlers or older children, you’ll find lots to keep the whole family entertained. We recently visited with our five-year-old, Elsie, and six-month-old Nancy, and managed to pack so much into just two days. If you’re planning a weekend in…

Christmas in Southampton has become one of our favourite family traditions, and every year the city seems to get more magical. From the sparkling Christmas market to the family attractions, festive food, and the light show at Bargate, Southampton truly knows how to celebrate the festive season.

A Magical Visit to Santa’s Grotto in Southampton We began our day with a visit to Santa’s Grotto (you’ll find this in the Christmas market), and…

Our recent stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the heart of the English countryside, this luxurious escape truly lives up to its reputation for both elegance and family-friendly hospitality. We stayed in a beautiful Garden Deluxe Room, where every moment—from our arrival through to check-out—was marked by warmth, care, and delightful surprises. A Warm (and Rainy) Welcome On arrival, the heavens had opened, and the rain was coming down hard. But as soon as we pulled up, the door staff sprang into action. We were immediately greeted, with our bags taken…

Our recent stay at Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park in Devon was nothing short of spectacular. One of my favourite things about the resort is that its 3 parks in one, we were staying in Twitchen House but you actually have access to all three parks; Twitchen, Woolacombe Bay and Easewell Farm. We were staying in one of their newer Platinum Caravans, which sleeps up to 8. The caravan was incredibly modern, immaculately clean, and had all the amenities a family of six could possibly need to enjoy our stay! Accommodation: Platinum Caravan at Twitchen House The caravan at Twitchen House…

It has been a longggg time since the children and I just upped and left on a little girls trip. Largely because of Covid and the fact that our girl gang grew by one more member! Now Elsie’s at a much easier age to travel with and restrictions are more or less done with we can get back to our exploring. I love traveling to new cities with the girls, I hadn’t realised how much I’ve missed it until this recent trip to Liverpool. I definitely have the bug for travel again and can’t wait until our next adventure. Liverpool…

I have never been one to shy away from an experience or trip with the kids. I know there are many people that would be put off using public transport or going out in a big city with four children, but I love it! It’s something I missed so much due to the lock down. Recently we headed to London to watch the Horrible Histories Barmy Britain, it was amazing to be doing something ‘normal’ with the girls. We hopped onto the train and made our way to London for a day of exploring and just some girlie time. It…
