Hi everyone


I'm really keen to take my family away for Christmas this year (not too far I might add!) where they do an overnight stay package on Christmas night. My children are 4 and 6 so they would need to have activities for them. Can anyone recommend anywhere? Happy to travel pretty much anywhere in the UK.


I hope to receive some replies :o)


Thank you in advance

I am sure there was a thread on here recently asking the same question and there were lots of suggestions.


We have been to review The Grove. They are about 40 minutes from central London and have the most amazing childcare and facilities. They do a special package each Christmas - last year it was based around The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, and their walled garden area, which houses their childcare, was completely decked out for the occasion. The hotel is set in a famous golf course and the spa has won Best Spa in the world last year in The Telegraph, their restaurants, food and accommodation are all amazing. I have reviewed several such establishments, but I genuinely couldn't recommend The Grove highly enough.


My son says that he prefers The Grove to Disneyland Paris - when he was there he was 7 and my daughter was 5.

Thanks for this. I also forgot to mention that most places do packages for two and three nights but we are only interested in staying for one night. Think this is where the difficulty has arisen.


Thanks, will look into The Grove shortly.

    • Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you
    • Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway. 
    • Lots of lovely lilac shrubs in flower at the moment. Would anyone consider giving me a cutting? It would involve digging out a basal off shoot, roots and all. I'd love one for my new garden but I'm so broke that I have to fill it with plants the slow way!
    • You are welcome to have mine for free. I was just about to post! Three panels - 6ft by 5ft - weathered/natural on one side and painted brown on the other.
