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!

Trebah Gardens, Cornwall with a Baby and Toddler

When we were in Cornwall for a family holiday we visited somewhere that I hadn’t even heard of before, Trebah Gardens near Mawnan Smith in Falmouth. I didn’t know much about Trebah except that it was gardens, water features and a private beach all in one. It looked like the perfect day out!

What were our first impressions of Trebah Gardens?

When we got to Trebah Gardens there was plenty of parking available and the main entrance was large, bright and welcoming with access to the cafe, gift shop and garden centre. We bought our tickets and went off to explore.

Is Trebah Gardens accesible with a pushchair or wheelchair?

As we had the double pushchair with us, as Little Man was just a baby, we were limited to which routes we could take and made our way to the accessible route around the gardens. The whole place was beautiful with huge shrubs and trees, flowers and greenery. Everything was so well looked after and you could tell the trees had been there for a very long time!

We walked for quite a while and LP coped amazingly, she loved exploring, peering under bushes and spotting flowers. There was so much to look at that you could easily spend a whole day there and not see everything.

We followed the paths down to the beach and were disappointed to find that the food and drink hut on the beach was closed – I guess the start of April when we visited wasn’t very busy but considering the only other place to buy refreshments was at the entrance it would have been nice to have been able to stop and have a drink. Because of the lack of drinks and ice cream we didn’t bother to stop at the beach and instead carried on walking, doing a big loop to take us back to the start.

Some parts of Trebah Gardens are incredibly steep and there are parts that are high up with no fences or rails. This did worry me slightly with LP but as long as you are careful then you shouldn’t have any accidents.

The route took us past ponds full of fish, waterfalls and huge plants that I have never seen before. LP even had a little wall to climb on, puddles to splash in and grass to run across – This really is a great place to take children especially as there was a big adventure playground there too!

Is Trebah Gardens expensive to visit?

Kids under 5 go free and adults are £9 each – I have had a lot more expensive days out that have a lot less to offer than Trebah Gardens and we will be visiting again when we’re next in Cornwall. It’s also worth noting that Trebah Gardens is a dog friendly attraction – as well as being so child friendly and buggy friendly too!
