Away with the Kids took a mini break at Easter to the Manor House and Ashbury golf hotel complex in Devon where we were blessed with a sunny few days for our planned, action-packed break.

Stay Play Explore Leicester - UK Family Break

Away with the Kids visited Leicester February 2017, during our half term school holiday, and enjoyed a short break staying at the Hilton Leicester with a Stay Play and Explore ticket. The combination of days out activities with a stay at a 4-star hotel complete with indoor swimming pool meant that the kids never had a dull moment.

Alfresco Festival - It’s a Family Affair

There can be few better ways to link the generations than with a family fun day out at music festival that has something for all. Alfresco is very much that festival. It takes place from May 26th to 29th 2017 and the first thing that stands out about the festival is its location: set on the shores of the blissful Colebrook Lakes in Royal Tunbridge Wells, the whole site is surrounded by lush green forest and plenty of the action spills over into those woodland areas.

Child Friendly Glamping UK: Back to Nature with More Than a Few Creature Comforts!

Glamping in the UK has seen a significant rise over the last 5 years. Yes, we may have unpredictable weather but we have an impressive range of beaches, mountains, hills, countryside and little pieces of unheard heaven! All of which, is easy to access and doesn’t cost the earth. However, any mention of the word camping may bring back early memories of trying to find the toilet block in pitch black, cold showers, burnt camp food, all of which seemed exciting as a child but not so much as an adult! The good news is family Glamping doesn’t have to be all of that. In fact, glamping came to be so popular because we wanted to claim back some creature comforts as well as immersing ourselves in nature! So yes, you can have a warm shower, a kitchen to cook in, a real bed and even a hot tub! If you’re not convinced, here are our reasons why we love child friendly glamping in the UK.
