Family Holidays with a Twist – The Child-Friendly African Safari
Of all the holidays I wish to take my children on – this would be it. An African Safari. But they’re not really for the children are they? Pffft. Not according to Africa Exclusive, who run the brilliant Family Safari site, and have been arranging African Safari’s for families for twenty years. These are the best family safaris it is possible to buy – each one is specially designed to suit each family’s...
Cottage escapes – how to tailor your family holiday
Traditionally, British families have tended to travel abroad for their holidays. However, on-going economic conditions and a growing awareness of domestic alternatives have prompted many families to stay at home this year. As domestic tourism continues to grow in popularity, families are searching for the best British holidays at the best prices. Based upon these simple criteria, many families are looking no further than the hundreds...
Camp Bestival. Oh how we do love thee.
We couldn’t make Camp Bestival this year – so we sent our intrepid roving reporter WitWitWoo. Who quite frankly did a better job than we would have done. She camped and EVERYTHING. This is her account of her first ever festival – grab a coffee before you start, you may be here some time… I have officially made it back from my first ever camping trip in one piece. Quite frankly, I surprised even myself...
Brittany Ferries – would you?
Well, yes we would, actually. When we booked our Keycamp holiday, the provided travel arrangements were a straightforward Dover-Calais crossing. Which is fine, of course. Except it’s a 3+ hour drive for us along the cost to Dover. Then the crossing. Then another 6 or so hours back down the length of France to where we wanted to be. We know from last year that this is bad enough going out – but at the end of the holiday,...
Keycamp – family friendly holidays in France? Yes, please.
I’ve said it before (in fact, last year when we had a Keycamp review trip…) – Keycamp is not our usual choice of family holiday – we’re far more likely to be found in an isolated cottage half way up a mountain, or camping in a field with only sheep for neighbours. But we reviewed Keycamp last year (with some trepidation)… and had a blast. So when we were invited back this summer, I *might* have left...
Feather Down Farms Days Review – Dolphinholme
Oh we were all so excited about Feather Down Farm. We do love the idea of an Enid Blyton-style family holiday and family glamping (albeit less than an hour away from home!) looked like it would hit the spot. We arrived mid-afternoon and transferred everything to our tent via wheelbarrow. I’d been a bit worried that we’d look like total hicks with our cardboard boxes of food (I told David to just take everything we had that...
