April 2023 We've just returned from the most amazing short break to Budapest, Hungary. It's a city I, Charlotte, have been to before but this was our first trip as a family. Accommodation As usual, we checked into a fab Airbnb right in the centre of the city (2 minutes from St. Stephen's Basilica). We… Continue reading Budapest with children
In October 2023, we visited Aachen for three nights, taking the Eurotunnel and stopping in Leuven and Ghent for waffles. Our well-equipped Airbnb served as a great base for exploring Bonn, including the Haribo Factory Shop and Beethoven's House. Bonn's charming architecture and bakeries made for a delightful family trip.

I've come to see that there's definitely a thrill to be had from travelling to unexpected places… Continue reading A family holiday in Zadar, Croatia
So Covid was still a thing. The travel guidelines were hard to predict and my husband’s job (as a doctor) didn't allow for extended and un-planned periods of leave (well that’s what we thought!). Given the circumstances, and somewhat reluctantly, we planned to holiday (yet again!) in the UK. It should be known that I… Continue reading A stay near La Rochelle
**Updated November 2023** Overshadowed by the much more popular Bruges (we've taken the children on several occassions!) 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. Parking in Ghent We've now been to the… Continue reading A day in Ghent with children
