HI


Im looking to take my 2 little men(4 and 17 months)and 1 big man(maddad) awayfor a short break over the school hols..so just wondering if you guys have any great suggestions? I have looked at the usual suspects Haven., Butlins, centreparcs but to be honest they seem so expensive just to stay in a caravan. Perhaps somewhere in France???? Really stummped and desperate to get away...change of scenery...kids to run free...quailty time without me nagging about house work and other tedious things...thats all im after,,,,

Look forward to your replies,

Much love

from a mum in need

I've recently been going away with the kids to youth hostels - really good value and much more chilled than a hotel. some better set up for very little ones (toddlers) than others. family rooms (and rates) available, some have baby equipment, many do food (or you can cook your own). Most also now have a bar!


Check out their website but I'd recommend calling up to book asvthe call centre staff really helpful at helping you get what you need.

Hello there.


We often stay in France using holiday-rentals.co.uk. Its a really great site for second home owners so the houses are really lovely and really reasonably priced.


For a short hop we have often stayed near Le Touquet in Northern France which has been perfect while my children are really small as its about 40 mins drive from the EuroTunnel. Great beeches and bays and a real old fashioned seatside holiday!


Here is a link to the house we stayed in last time. http://www.holiday-rentals.co.uk/p412373


I would recommend taking a look at the site as there are some really beautiful properties.


Good luck

Youth hostels are cheap and you can have all you meals cooked for you if you like- great for meeting new people and 4 year old- but you might find that the 17 month old needed watching a lot. Do you have to go in school holidays? I have a friend that always took he dad and sons to haven holidays for 4 days as lots of entertainment.We have camped at Kelling Heath in North Norfolk which had some really nice holiday chalets but lots of parks,walks, swimming pool and nature walks.

I've got a holiday cottage in Rye, East sussex which is bril for kids. Its right in the town so everything is on your doorstep, but the surrounding area is full of children's farms, steam railways, cycle tracks, castles, and of course the stunning beach! We are pretty light on bookings this year, so if anyone's interested for June or July, make me an offer. We have many returning families with kids, and its a really lovely house, complete with many toys.

Here's a link to the site.

We rent out a lovely family friendly cottage in Whitstable, just across from the beach. Lots of toys and activities for children and family friendly restaurants. It's just over an hour away from East Dulwich. You can search for Marine Cottage on www.whitstableholidayhomes.co.uk

There is still some summer availability - PM me if you want any more information

    • Leaving the country having been made somewhat more difficult than it used to be.  Can't quite put my finger on why.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
