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!

Visiting Godstone Farm After Lockdown

Disclosure: We were invited on this day out for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.

Last weekend we were invited to Godstone Farm for a day out now that it has reopened following the government’s guidance after lockdown. Although Godstone Farm isn’t too far from us in Surrey it’s not somewhere we have ever been before and we couldn’t wait for a family day out on the farm.

Godstone Farm are operating a ticketed entry system with arrival time slots that stagger the flow of guests into the farm. This works really well and all guests have farm rules to read when they arrive. Many of these are familiar from any farm visit as well as being important at the moment. They are things like not eating near the animal pens, washing hands regularly and not putting your hands in your mouth.

As soon as we were inside the farm we realised how easy it was to social distance. The paths are wide, there’s hand sanitiser and hand wash stations everywhere and the vast majority of the day out is outside in the open air.

The children love a day at the farm and Godstone Farm has so many animals. We saw sheep, ponies, goats and even very new piglets! The children loved the rarer animals like rhea, llamas and even peacocks!

There were smaller animals like rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens and literally something to look at around every corner. Plus, there was so much open space, all the animals looked so happy and the views were fantastic!

We were able to go in a few barns and see animals in their pens but the majority were outside in fields. It was so nice to be on an outdoorsy day out and I’m sure it was the children’s first farm visit of the year.

The most exciting part of the day for the children was the adventure playground. There’s so much to play on at Godstone Farm and as it was the first weekend playgrounds were allowed to open again the children were so excited. They hadn’t been in a playground in nearly four months and were so happy to be in the huge outdoor play areas for as long as they wanted.

There are toilets and hand wash stations right next to the play areas and even during the peak lunch hours the play areas weren’t too busy. We went on the zip line early and that was the only part that got busier later in the day. All the children playing were really aware of others, gave each other space and distanced really well. I was really impressed!

The children loved the Dino Trail at Godstone Farm, learning more about dinosaurs and seeing huge models of them at the same time. It was a great way to inspire us to walk further and explore more too.

Godstone Farm has so much space to sit and enjoy a picnic as well as a couple of takeaway snack and drink options available. We took a picnic with us and bought ice creams too.

Some parts of Godstone Farm aren’t open but that didn’t detract from the great day we had. There aren’t any tractor rides and the indoor play area is closed and the farm shop is open with a queueing system to manage the flow of people. There are no animal handling sessions as you’d usually expect at a farm but it was still an incredibly full day out with so much to do. Outdoor activities, wildlife and animals and so much space to explore. It was fantastic.

Godstone Farm was such a lovely, safe day out and just what we needed after spending months at home. It was so much fun for the children, we all loved seeing the animals and it was just a really lovely way to spend a day outside. You can find out more about Godstone Farm and book tickets over on their website.
