Last week I found myself frantically searching for free things to do with kids in Westminster on the train to London. We were on our way to stay at the Conrad London St James to test their new VIP family package, which I’ve written about for Mini Travellers – I’ll add a link here once […]
Travel: How to climb Pen y Fan mountain with kids
We decided to climb Pen y Fan with our 6 and 8-year-old kids on holiday in the Brecon Beacons last summer. Pen y Fan is the highest peak in South Wales and one of the most popular mountains in the Brecon Beacons, so we thought it would be great for them to be able to […]
FAMILY: The National Museum of Computing, Bletchley
Hidden away on the Bletchley Park Estate in Milton Keynes, this quirky museum crammed with computers runs hands-on STEM workshops for kids in the holidays and at the weekends – and we love it. Why visit The National Museum of Computing? The National Museum of Computing houses the world’s biggest collection of working historic computers, […]
Travel: Thicket Priory, North Yorkshire – a wedding venue fit for a fairytale
Last month I stayed at Thicket Priory, a former nunnery in North Yorkshire that’s been fully restored and opened as one of the UK’s finest private houses available to rent for weddings and special events… As if on cue, there’s a break in the clouds as we turn off the main road and up a […]
Travel: Royal Lancaster London Hotel Review – High Style In Hyde Park
To celebrate its 50-year anniversary in 2017, the Royal Lancaster London underwent a multimillion-pound refurbishment and emerged – several years later – sporting a head-to-toe makeover, a complete rebrand and a new name. Which is exactly how I plan to spend my next big birthday. Turn the clock back half a century and the hotel […]
20 Family Events In London This Easter (That Aren’t Booked Up Yet!)
Planning a last-minute trip to London with kids this Easter? There’s still time to book on to (or just turn up at) loads of family-friendly events happening in the capital over the Easter holidays. I wrote a top ten for Time Out’s Easter magazine but it seemed a shame not to do anything with all […]
LIFE: 15 Places In London Where You Can Work With Kids In Tow
Looking for coworking offices, cafés and all-purpose spaces in London where you can bring the laptop, get a decent coffee and get some work done with the children in tow during the school holidays? Me too! I freelance from home, so I’ve been on the hunt for places to take the kids and squeeze in […]
Travel: Rockliffe Hall – a luxury spa hotel kids will love almost as much as grown-ups
Rockliffe Hall is a five-star Pride of Britain hotel in Darlington, on the northern reaches of North Yorkshire or the southern edge of County Durham, depending on where you’re standing. We tagged a one-night stay to the end of a short break at Center Parcs Whinfell Forest, which is about an hour’s drive away in […]
Family: 31 February half-term activities in London (and the rest of the UK)
I feel like a one-woman listings magazine at the moment. I’ve spent the past few weeks working on content about February half-term 2019, from things to do with kids in London, to the best places to take the family to in the UK. It’s fair to say there are some very cool things going on […]
Travel: Bedford’s D’Parys pub and restaurant has a brand new look
I’ve been for a meal at D’Parys in Bedford a couple of times over the last few years – ever since it opened, it’s been one of those places that ticks all the boxes for a ‘nice’ night out in Bedford without breaking the bank. It’s far enough off the High Street to be away […]
