OK forget Gina Ford, I need a holiday. I'm not generally a camper, but cash is tight. Anyone got any recommendations for a nice uk break in mid June, mum dad 3 yrs and 1 yr. I don't really get how camping works with littlies - basically they both sleep well (ish) as long as they are in their own little beds in separate (dark) rooms...so maybe a cabin style affair?


Thanks :-)

Hmm I've been looking and there are some awesome places - all kinds of treehouses and yurts etc - but I just can't envisage how this would work with very young children - at the moment they both sleep in cots and have never shared a room....and I can't imagine how bath time etc would work (am I being completely anal?!?). Maybe better fun for them when older?


France seems to be where it's at though. This place looks fab!

SB: My friend Steph went glamping with a then 4mo old and 3yr old, and loved it. I believe they went to somewhere in Suffolk (sorry for being vague). Do you want me to put her in touch with you about it all? Here is her blog about it: http://imcountingufoz.com/blog/glamping-474

I've done lots of times pre-kids but also can't imagine it with little ones. I think that although there are seperate 'rooms' in the big tents they are really not rooms and there is no sound proofing. If you could relax a bit about bedtimes then it would ok, but my little girl has a melt down if she gets overtired and I like it when she goes to bed.


I think you would just have to forgo the baths for washes or if your kids are ok, showers. We looked into it in June and I think I have decided that either chalet or a cottage is the way forward at this stage. Mine would be 2 1/2 and a few months old when we are looking to go. Something fun when they are a bigger I think.

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
