So after 21 years my other half finally proposed....I know, I'm a patient woman! So we plan to get married in August and would like to spend one or two weeks on honeymoon but we don't want to leave our kids behind so it needs to be somewhere which works for all of us. Any suggestions? I'm stumped! My children are 8 (girl) and 3 (boy).

Thanks for suggestions!


KalamityKel - we normally hire a villa in Europe over summer so I suppose I'm wondering if we can do something a little more special. Not sure we will be able to afford to do anything different or, as you point out, we necessarily need to but it would be great to have an especially memorable break away to mark the occasion.

I write this from Barbados and I recommend it. My partner used to live here when he was younger and we have been twice with the kids (boy 4, girl almost 2). It's hot, the beaches are wonderful, the locals are friendly, there are other activities like snorkelling, diving, surfing and lots of places to visit like historic buildings and rum factories... It is expensive however, but we normally hire an apartment and do our own cooking (lots of fish which is cheap, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers and rice...) We also hire a car privately so that works out cheaper. The island is small and easy to go round.

I have travelled with kids to different places like Canaries, India, Gambia, Kenya, etc and this is by far the easiest more relaxing place with them.

I hope you find the answer. Whatever you decide, have fun!

I stayed here on honeymoon:

It was heavenly - gorgeous food, swimming, luxury rooms and totally kid friendly whilst being special. The town is typical Italian seaside and totally welcoming to children. Fly to Naples and hire a car - also great for going to e.g. Pompeii, Herculaneum etc.


I was pregnant at the time with no 1, and we have promised to take our (now three!) children there for our 10th wedding anniversary :)

We're also taking our daughter (will be 1) with us on honeymoon in June and are thinking of places...was trying to research small Greek islands off the beaten track so if anyone has any suggestions please do share.


Trish, I would highly recommend Thailand and particularly Koh Tao and Koh phang'an (west or north only), or koh Yao. If you do decide on Thailand, book flights and accom separately. Accom booked direct with the resort will be much cheaper than anything booked through travel operators. I'd be happy to make suggestions for Koh Tao and Phang'an.


Good luck!

Go Glamping by lake Bled, Slovenia. Weather is ok. It's a short and often cheap flight, you can get from airplane to campsite in under thirty mins. I know lots of people who honeymooned there as it is stunning. This campsite is as luxurious as you are likely to get for camping. Nice food, nice facilities. You can glamp in a hut with alfresco hot tub. Two huts cost around 100 euro per night. For the kids there's the lake, pool, pet pigs and tobogganing nearby. Affordable, beautiful, unusual. Go for the hot tub and sign up for one of their romantic picnics and it should feel special too. Site below. You need to click on pricing to see brochure.

pefkos in Rhodes is nice. Would recommend staying at Pefki Islands Resort, it has two swimming pools, kids area, you can also use the facilities in the resort literally a stones throw away. Its close to restaurants etc but not that close where you hear the music etc.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
