This trip came about when a group of dads from school organised a couple of days away together. Several of them decided to book a hotel for

We had a fantastic family glamping trip at Whitemead Forest Park! Our pod was excellent – cosy, well-equipped, and perfect for the four of us (kids aged 8 and 5). The newly renovated pool facilities, complete with sauna and steam room, were a real treat. The Forest of Dean is full of activities, and if

Earlier this year, we stayed at Love2Stay Shrewsbury and it’s such a lovely campsite. While the hot tubs weren’t directly on the pitch, there were three communal ones available to guests staying on-site. Using these was still a great experience! They also had a natural swimming pool, which I used a few times. Super refreshing
