AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.

And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

A Spa Break at The Malvern Hotel and Spa with Red Letter Days

Disclosure: We were invited on this break for the purpose of this review however all opinions are my own.

Just before Christmas I spent the weekend at The Malvern Hotel and Spa on a Red Letter Days Luxury Spa Break for Two experience. My best friend and I love to go away on a spa break every few months and this was a great way to relax and unwind in the lead up to Christmas.

The Malvern Hotel and Spa is in a beautiful location, with views of mountains surrounding it. There isn’t really outside space and grounds like with other hotels, and it is in quite a built up retail area but, once inside the hotel and spa it was like being in a complete bubble and such a nice place to have a real break.

Our room was beautiful, with twin beds, a good size bathroom, complimentary toiletries and tea and coffee making facilities. We had also been left a welcome pile of towel, robe and slippers for each of us ready to use the spa and could get fresh towels at the spa whenever we wanted.

We went straight to the spa and spent the rest of the day there. The facilities are great with a hydrotherapy pool that was both inside and outside so you could have two completely different experiences in the same pool. The water isn’t really for swimming in but perfect for relaxing in and there are a lot of seating areas and jets within the water too.

As well as the pool the spa has a variety of rooms to relax and unwind in – a crystal steam room, salt grotto, herb sauna, kelo sauna, foot spa, ice fountain and a bucket shower too. the spa facilities made the Malvern Spa such a great place to relax.

We did find the spa quite busy and we were unable to get two loungers together for the first couple of hours that we were there. I’m not sure whether it is always as busy as when we went or whether it was because we visited on a weekend but because of this I would probably choose to visit during the week next time.

The spa had a bar right next to it and the staff were happy to bring drinks to our loungers that could be paid for there and then or added onto our room and settled when we checked out. This meant we didn’t have to leave the spa area at all – great for a spa break.

During our afternoon at the spa we both had massages and they were fantastic. The treatment rooms were beautiful with a really nice ambience and music playing softly. The range of treatments available was really good as well and I think any treatment would be a great addition to a Malvern Spa break – and our massages were included with our Red Letter Days package.

The package also included £25 each towards dinner in the Malvern restaurant which was lovely – although the service was hit and miss during the evening, mainly because of how busy they were. The food was nice and the variety was great – we were able to use our £25 towards anything on the typical menu rather than having a special set menu which is always preferable.

My friend is vegetarian and there were plenty of options available for her and they were happy to tailor meals to different dietary requirements too. The meal complimented our stay perfectly.

We slept really well and had breakfast at the hotel the following morning which included a continental buffet and anything we liked from the menu which was cooked to order. I went for pancakes and they were lovely – although the service was incredibly slow.

We were able to use the spa facilities on the morning of departure and we found the Malvern Hotel and Spa to be a really lovely place for a spa break. We were able to relax, unwind and catch up in lovely surroundings. The food was great, the inside of the hotel and spa were beautiful and the staff were lovely. We’d definitely go back.

    Ahh I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Shame it was so busy, I think I’ve only been on weekdays. It’s fab though and I agree with you about the staff, they are always so lovely.
