Stourhead Review

We’ve visited Stourhead multiple times now but for some reason I’ve not actually written a review. With autumn rapidly approaching after our most recent visit it seemed like a good time to finally write one up. Stourhead is a National Trust property and stunning gardens in Wiltshire and we often use it as a pit-stop […]

Castell Coch Review

A review of Castell Coch popped up on Instagram as a fairy tale castle that you just couldn’t miss in Wales. We were planning our holiday to Wales and Hubby said we obviously need to go see some castles. Smallest Child is all about princesses so it seemed the perfect place to visit. The fact […]

Aberystwyth Castle Review

This review of Aberystwyth Castle is going to be fairly short and sweet because there isn’t a huge amount of Aberystwyth Castle left. But what is left is very cool! The castle itself is on what I believe to be the quieter end of town. If you can find a parking space, you can park […]

Chastleton House Review

Before actually typing up this review of Chastleton House I had to check the county borders for Oxon, Warks and Gloucs because as we were driving in you keep dipping in and out of all of them! I wasn’t 100% sure which county we were in by the time we arrived. Turns out it’s technically […]

St Paul’s Cathedral Review

This review of St Paul’s Cathedral came about because I had a child-free day trip to London. Imagine that! I couldn’t decide what to do and ended up here on a whim really. Finding out that St Paul’s Cathedral is actually one of the filming locations for the Harry Potter films kind of clinched it […]

Canons Ashby Review

Although this wasn’t my first visit to Canons Ashby in Northamptonshire, I haven’t written a review until now because my last visit was pre-blog. In fact it was pre-Smallest Child! At that stage I was too scared to take children into NT houses. However, we’ve been back at this time we’ve been inside the house […]

Basildon Park Review

Although we have been to Basildon Park before I haven’t written a review until now because our last visit was pre-blog! Basildon Park is nowhere near Basildon BTW. Technically it’s just outside my four counties area, but it’s only just over the border in Berkshire so I think you’ll forgive me. It’s a National Trust […]

Kensington Palace Review

Birthplace of Queen Victoria, currently home to two future kings! One of six Historic Royal Palaces.

Blenheim Palace Christmas Light Trail Review 2024

For the past few years we have been invited to review the Christmas light trail at Blenheim Palace and I always have high expectations. This blog is all above value for money, and it isn’t cheap, so I want to know you are getting what you pay for. Also, how would it compare to last […]

Tower of London Review

The world famous Tower of London. A World Heritage site and an incredibly popular family day out.
