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.

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!

They’ve both had a great year at school this year. Troy’s first without his sister by his side and Athena’s first at secondary school. 

They both had great reports, always did their best and have made some really lovely new friends this year. I could not be more proud of them.

Now, let’s go and enjoy the next six weeks before school starts all over again!

RSPB Lodmoor and Lodmoor Country Park – Weymouth, Dorset

Whenever we go anywhere new we like to try and see as much of the place as we possibly can. So, on our trip to Weymouth, exploring the Jurassic Coast, we spent a morning exploring RSPB Lodmoor and the Lodmoor Country Park – somewhere I really think more people should take time to visit.

RSPB Lodmoor and Lodmoor Country Park

Lodmoor Nature Reserve is a wonderfully quiet haven for wildlife just a short walk from Weymouth town centre and seafront, adjacent to Weymouth Bay. It combines a large reed bed, open water, salt marsh, wet grassland and bushes which attract a huge variety of different birds like bearded tits and warblers, gulls, ducks, kingfishers and winter waders.

We walked pretty much around the edge of the nature reserve and loved looking at the birds, appreciating how quiet it was and just enjoying time somewhere that felt so far from civilisation. It was a little bit of tranquility in an otherwise bustling seaside town.

We found a really lovely spot to sit and watch the birds plus there are plenty of picnic spots dotted around too. It was such a nice place to spend time and our walk led us naturally into the Lodmoor Country Park.

Lodmoor Country Park sits around many of Weymouth’s attractions like the Sea Life Centre and Pirate Adventure crazy golf, but it’s a lovely place to spend time, cycle or explore. As soon as we walked into the country park LP and Little Man were drawn to the outdoor gym equipment – such a great addition to any park.

The country park also has a fantastic children’s play area – including more gym equipment – and plenty of space and seating to have a picnic or just sit and watch the world go by. There’s a Brewers Fayre and Premier Inn within a short walk as well as so many Weymouth hotels helping to make it such a nice place to visit for anyone staying in the area.

As much as I love playing tourists, it’s so nice to slow down, go at the children’s pace and do things that they really enjoy. Play parks are one of those things and they really loved the morning we spent in the nature reserve and country park, finishing with the play area that they’re still talking about now. It was such a lovely experience with so many different areas to explore as a family.

RSPB Lodmoor and Lodmoor Country Park

The Lodmoor nature reserve and country park are free to visit, open all the time and have pay and display car parks if you’re coming from further afield. You can find out more information on the RSPB Lodmoor website and Lodmoor Council website and there’s a trail guide for the nature reserve you can follow online too. If you’re looking for other outdoors attractions in Weymouth you could visit RSPB Radipole Lake Nature Reserve too. Nature reserves are beautiful places to visit and many have a visitor centre or discovery centre to enjoy too.
