A little while ago we enjoyed a wonderful luxury woodland break at North Star club near York. The site is set in 500 acres of beautiful woodlands and has 8 unique woodland suites. We stayed in the Sitwell Suite which I will review in my post below. Check-in at North Star club is between 4 […]
We really enjoyed taking our touring caravan to Searles Leisure in Hunstanton, Norfolk. We visited in the height of summer which we had to book way in advance. This was mostly to benefit from a cheaper rate but also so that they weren’t sold out. The price I paid included entertainment passes. You can also […]
It was that time of year again when we have our annual weekend break in York. It’s becoming a winter tradition and it’s a weekend away that I really look forward to. There is just so much for families to do in York and after three weekends there over the past 3 years we still […]
If you want to enjoy the great outdoors, then a camping trip out in the open is exactly what the doctor ordered. Once you are out there, you will be able to relax and breathe some fresh air, something that you are not able to do in the city. Individual adult campers have the luxury […]
I was given a $250 glamping voucher about a year and a half ago to book ourselves a glamping holiday somewhere. I really struggled to find anywhere that would accept our voucher though.

It is a glamping site and they have […]

We were recently invited to the preview event of ‘Christmas at Blenheim’. We live quite a long way from Blenheim Palace so I looked into staying nearby overnight. The Travelodge on Abingdon Road in Oxford were kind enough to provide us with a room in exchange for this review. There are three Travelodges in Oxford […]
It’s easy to forget how lucky we are, living in the South West with a seemingly endless coastline to discover. We ventured a bit further down the coast to Trevornick, just 5 miles from Cornwall’s surfing capital of Newquay. Trevornick is a family run campsite next to Holywell Bay, a large sandy National Trust beach […]
