Before children (always a good start to a family friendly travel blog entry!), my husband and I enjoyed an annual ski holiday (definitely a holiday and not a trip!). Since the arrival of our daughter in 2013 we've only managed one ski holiday - we ventured to Val Thorens with our then 1 year old… Continue reading Bern Oberland – Switzerland with children

We've had two wonderful holidays in Dubai. Here are our top tips for a family trip to the bustling, cosmopolitan city! Practical things first (all very important when travelling with little people in tow....and when mindful of a budget!). 1. Use taxis (and or public transport!) Don't worry about organising transfers from the airport to… Continue reading Top tips for a family holiday to Dubai
We mostly hire a car when we travel abroad - we find it gives us the flexibility we like. We love being able to choose where we travel to and when. Summer 2017 saw us travelling around southern Spain. The thought of lugging two car seats out with us was one that didn't appeal. It… Continue reading Mi-fold travel car seat Review
Why choose an Airbnb? We first stumbled across Airbnb when we travelled to Copenhagen back in 2014. It was the first time we'd tackled a city break with our then 9 month old and we had this sudden realisation that we needed self catering and more than one bedroom. Hotels just weren't going to work.… Continue reading Top tips for choosing the right Airbnb

Now that I’m back at work, after my second maternity leave, time is of a premium and longer holidays are restricted to holiday periods (and we’ve got some exciting trips coming up!). With our daughter having her half term holiday we wanted to do something together as… Continue reading A staycation near Bath
Life as working parents can be busy and weekends are very precious. I guess as a Mum I tend to feel particularly guilty about going to work (although I do love what I do)....and probably over compensate at weekends when I try and plan lots of fun activities for us all to do together. When… Continue reading A weekend in North Norfolk
All Things Wild - Another firm family favourite. This place is amazing....there really is something for everyone and for every weather condition! It's open all year (except Christmas Day and Boxing Day) between 10am and 6pm. There's so much to do here that one day wouldn't really do it justice. You could visit the indoor… Continue reading All Things Wild
Bourton-on-the-Water model village - Slightly further away from us is Bourton-on-the-Water, the picturesque cotswold village. One of the main tourist attractions is the model village - a one-ninth scale replica of the village of Bourton-on-the-Water, containing all the buildings from the Old Water Mill (now the Car Museum) down to the Old New Inn and… Continue reading Bourton-on-the-Water
So we've not long returned from a road trip around Andalusia. After 3 nights in the gorgeous city of Seville we hit the road again,making the 1hr 30 min drive, to Córdoba. Accomodation Yet again we booked via Airbnb. Córdoba was cheaper than Seville and we settled on a large 2 bedroom house in the centre… Continue reading Córdoba with children
