UK Staycations With Kids
Featured
Come and take a look at summer at the Grove Hotel with us. Set across 300 acres in Hertfordshire, it’s known as London’s country escape. It’s pretty close to where we live so we’ve been fans and regulars for the restaurants {The Glasshouse is our absolute number one for any special occasion, it’s an exquisite buffet like no other and was even featured on the Netflix show ‘the world’s best buffets’} and Sequoia Spa, for the last 16+ years! We’ve been lucky enough to stay at some incredible places in our time but I really think The Grove takes some beating. It just gets better & better as time goes on, something which is pretty rare in the hospitality business. They’ve particularly added and improved all of their family friendly offerings over the last few years and so I HAD to come and take a full look. I really don’t think anything else compares in the UK. It’s by no means a budget option but it really does include so much and you’ll come away feeling like just one night has felt like a weeks holiday with so much to do there {and at the same time you’ll be hard pushed to want to ever leave!}.
If you’re planning some London days out for the summer, look no further. Here’s an ultimate guide to London with Kids, grouped by neighbourhood and ideas to combine attractions/playgrounds/museums with to keep parents happy too! Most of these days out are free leaving money to spend on lunch/morning pastries!
Fowey Hall, the UK’s most child friendly hotel, Cornwall. Fowey rhymes with Joy and that completely summed up our stay @foweyhall by @luxuryfamilyhotels, pure JOY! // ad invite.
Last April in the Easter holidays we had the best stay in Cornwall. I’d heard nothing but good things about Fowey Hall, we stayed at their sister property the Ickworth the summer before, but this was just another level & exceeded all expectations. There really is nowhere else like it for families in England. Here’s more about our trip, things to note and some things we loved…
There’s something extra special about a crisp seaside day out in the winter if it’s not too windy & we struck gold with the most beautiful early February day and sunset 🌞. We used to go to Brighton all the time but hadn’t got down there since Freya was a baby! Here are some great family friendly, mostly free ideas if you’re planning a day out there.
We’ve been going to North Norfolk every year since 2013 in all different seasons. It’s the perfect mix of coast and countryside, everywhere is only around 20 minutes away and it’s half the distance to get to from London compared to Devon or Cornwall. Super child and dog friendly, we discover something new every time so here’s a list of favourites if you’re planning a trip…
