My husband and I were students in Cardiff (for way too many years!). During this time we were lucky to be able to explore the length and breadth of Wales. One of our favourite places was/is Pembrokeshire - there is something about the remoteness of it that makes you totally switch off. It is real… Continue reading A staycation in St Davids, Pembrokeshire
Just ordered a couple of Solar Buddies as per your recommendation for our holiday next week. You’re my family travel guru!
Ghent wasn’t really on my radar until reading your blog, but when we were staying nearby in Lille with our 14 month old son we thought we would have a day trip there (it’s only an hour’s drive from Lille). We are so glad we did – it is beautiful! We loved Bruges which we… Continue reading A family trip to Northern France – thank you MummyandMe
We have just been on holiday with our 14 month old boy to northern France (staying in airbnbs – 4 nights in Lille and 4 nights in the Normandy countryside). Bruges is only an hour’s drive from Lille so we spent a day there – so so lovely! Just wanted to say thank you as… Continue reading A family trip to Northern France – thank you MummyandMe
We recently found ourselves staying near Brussels. We'd already visited Ghent, Antwerp and Bruges (on an earlier trip, the previous year...we have a bit of a thing for Belgium!) so Brussels seemed like a good option for a day out. I've said in previous blog entries that travelling with children is all about compromise. Everybody… Continue reading A day in Brussels with children
On a recent visit to Belgium we settled on a day in Antwerp. I was totally swayed after reading about the wonderful range of child/family friendly activities available in the city. Cartoon Station Our first stop was the Comic Station in Antwerp Station. We parked around the corner at Centraal. The Comic Station is an… Continue reading Antwerp with children
1. Book your tickets online before you go. Book 7 days (or more) before you visit for the cheapest online rates. Its also worth looking out for the various offers - (cadburys chocolate button packets often have a 2-4-1 deal. What better excuse do you need for eating a bag?!?). 2. Consider paying the extra… Continue reading Top Tips for Legoland Windsor
Overshadowed by the much more popular Bruges (we took the children last summer!) this beautiful, undiscovered gem is well worth a visit (with or without children!). It has all the charm of Bruges but with a quirky edge that makes it very appealing. Staying nearby we set out after a leisurely breakfast (yes chocolate yet… Continue reading A day in Ghent with children
Ok so as a travel blogger I often get asked by friends, family and colleagues to recommend family friendly activities in our nearest touristy town, Stratford Upon Avon. So here goes... I've restricted this list to just those places and activities that are actually in the town or that are accessible (easily!) from the centre… Continue reading Stratford upon Avon with children
This has to be one of our favourite places to spend time - particularly on a sunny weekend! It serves a wonderful (but not overly healthy!) breakfast (can't vouch for any other meal). I can hear you asking so? What makes that so special? Well this is a truly unique cafe. It's based on an… Continue reading Touchdown Cafe – Wellsbourne Airfield
