What to do in and around Marrakech with Kids
Part Two of our February Half Term trip to Marrakech, here’s everything that we got up to…
Kenzi Agdal Medina Resort, Marrakech
We recently got back from staying at Kenzi Club Agdal Medina in Marrakech over February half term, and it turned out to be such an incredible mix of winter sunshine, culture, relaxation, and family-friendly fun. Staying in an all-inclusive resort filled with kids’ pools, water slides, and sports facilities felt like a real oasis away from the hustle of the city, while still being only around 10 minutes from the main Medina. It gave us the best of both worlds — laid-back resort living combined with the colour, energy, and culture of Marrakech. If you’re wondering where to stay in Marrakech with kids, here’s everything you need to know about staying at Kenzi Club Agdal Medina Resort.
Lake Annecy Guide
Last summer we spent a week of our camping trip around France on the shores of Lake Annecy. Known as Europe’s cleanest, most beautiful lake, I was really curious to see how we’d find it after spending a few summers on Lake Garda in Italy. Here’s everything we found out and enjoyed doing with our kids there…
Portugal Roadtrip: Tavira and the Eastern Algarve
For the final part of our roadtrip we spent some time near Tavira and Olhao, the Eastern and more traditional part of the Algarve. It’s a really interesting place completely different from the touristy parts, there are barrier islands, HUGE beaches, old fishing towns, salt flats and national parks.
Portugal Roadtrip: Lagos & The Western Algarve
The Algarve is high on everybody’s list for Portugal and we couldn’t resist seeing some of the famous beaches. But we also didn’t want to do it in a typical touristy way so here’s how we spent 3 nights of our Portuguese road trip…
Portugal Roadtrip: Comporta

Daytrip to Paris from Disneyland
Here’s how we spent a super memorable, gorgeous Autumn day in Paris with our two children, aged 6 and 4.
French Center Parcs: The Perfect Family Holiday Near Paris & Disney
We booked a French Center Parcs mostly because it was a lot cheaper - and chicer - than the UK version, and because it conveniently put Paris and Disney within easy reach. What we didn’t expect was just how incredible it would be. It felt less like a budget compromise and more like a hidden gem — somewhere between a scaled-down Kinderhotel and a surprisingly chic Soho Farmhouse, with bikes, Land of Legends adventure playgrounds, a farm and more activities than we could have ever fitted in! Here’s our full review and everything you need to know…
Florida without the Theme Parks, the best Beaches…
We spent Christmas in Florida and it was just such a dream. The houses are fully decorated, Americans go ALL out, it’s warm and sunny. I used to holiday there as a child so it was fun to revisit all of my favourite spots with my own children. Here’s a look at our favourite beaches, towns and children’s museums. There’s so much more to Florida than Disney but these would make for a great second week if you are there doing the theme parks.
Things to Do in Kissimmee, Florida with Kids
The first of our Florida trip blog posts, we visited over Christmas and it was the best decision ever. Here is part 1 where we stayed in Kissimmee for an airboat ride, cycled around the dream town called Celebration that Walt Disney built and visited an ICE sculpture. It makes for a great base for exploring Central Florida and has so much to do for all ages.
Staying at the Northern Lights Village, Saariselka/Lapland, Finland
A complete bucket list trip to the North Pole where we searched for the real Santa, stayed in an aurora cabin, rode in a reindeer and husky driven sleigh, awed at the Northern Lights and had a lot of fun in the snow. Everything you need to know about a trip to the Northern Lights Village, Saariselka, Finland.
The Westin London City, a central location, kids scooters and a treasure hunt
I always get asked where to stay in London for families that come to visit for a few days and I can finally recommend somewhere that we’ve personally stayed at in a really great location - and it provides scooters for kids on check in along with a treaure hunt! Here’s everything you need to know about The Westin London City…
Ikos Porto Petro, The Ultimate Family Luxury All Inclusive Resort, Mallorca
The chances are, if you love travel and you’ve got children, you’ll have heard about the renowned Ikos resorts. Ikos has become the name for luxury all inclusive family friendly resorts in Europe, starting in Greece {the group are sister to the equally well known Sani group} 10 years ago and now expanding across to Spain & the Balearics too.
But what is that makes an Ikos resort truly great? Here is everything you need to know about Ikos Porto Petro, Mallorca {we also stayed at Oceania in Halkidiki Greece last year so I’ll share a few notes on that too}
*ad we were hosted as a press stay but paid for the rest of our trip and all opinions are my own…
Camping at Le Paradis and The Dordogne
After the Ile de Re, our next stop on our French roadtrip this summer was the Dordogne! I actually didn’t know anything about this region, we booked it solely for @leparadisdordogne campsite which had been recommended as a special spot and it broke up our journey to Annecy. It ended up being better than we ever could have hoped for! This region is stunning, I’d say it feels like the Cotswolds of France in the countryside with charming stone villages, the river to kayak on and lots of chateaus. Here’s a mini guide;
