We’ve just returned from a long weekend at Camber Sands. We stayed in a caravan on one of the holiday parks, which was a first for us. We were all really looking forward to staying in a caravan and the kids loved it. It wasn’t quite as good an experience as I had hoped, but …
Disclosure: this is a paid collaboration with Island Cottage Holidays. Following on from my recent post about family-friendly places to visit in East Sussex, I’m looking further afield this time. We enjoyed a fantastic family holiday on the Isle of Wight last summer and opted for self-catering. This meant we were able to go on …
Disclosure: this is a paid collaboration with Bramley & Teal Holiday Cottages. The summer holidays will soon be upon us and family breaks to UK destinations are becoming more popular. Particularly those in sunnier, coastal areas like East Sussex. I’m lucky enough to call said county home. With that in mind, here are some great …
We’ve just got back from our first family holiday in four years. We stayed fairly close to home by heading to the Isle of Wight for a week. As I quietly predicted to myself beforehand, I’m enjoying it more in hindsight than I did while we were there. I imagine a lot of parents will …
With temperatures plummeting, it’s natural to start longing for summer again. With that in mind, we’ve been starting to plan our family holiday for next year. We haven’t had one for over three years and there are now five of us, so there’s much to consider! I always find that noting down the ‘must haves’ …
Now is the time of year that we can start looking forward to the summer holidays. The final school term is underway and the weather is warming up. To celebrate Father’s Day, Thomas Cook is running a competition called #DadMoments. People can enter by sharing their favourite holiday moments involving their dads. There’s a £1,000 Thomas …
Disclosure: This post has been sponsored by Avis. Barcelona is one of many destinations that has been on my ‘to visit’ list for way too long. I’ve been to several of Europe’s most popular cities but, somehow or other, it has eluded me. Since having children, holidays have been rare treats. We’ve only been on one …
‘Fearcation.’ It sounds like the name of a straight-to-DVD horror film, but is actually a new phenomenon associated with holiday nightmares. Us Brits have a reputation for being uptight and, according to a survey by Villa Plus, this extends to holidays. Thanks to a combination of factors, we struggle to relax while on our travels. …
We went on our one and only family holiday a couple of years ago. Although we had a great time once we were there, the journeys there and back are probably the main reason we haven’t been on one since! We encountered problems with massively delayed flights, temper tantrums and the kind of scatological episode …
Our fifth and final Calypso Holiday Hacks activity falls into the life hacks category. We decided to have a theme for the week, namely Roald Dahl books. Dylan and Xander have both been taking part in The Big Friendly Read and it’s fair to say it has captured their imaginations! Obviously, the books themselves have played …
