Important Things Parent’s Should Never Forget When Travelling With Kids

Cheap holidays are a great way to enjoy some family time and a much deserved rest but the preparation and travelling part isn’t always quite as fun.

Preparation is key to ensure you are ready for any eventuality.

I always travel with paracetamol in case any illness occurs. The one year we failed to do this the inevitable happened and Joe was poorly, resulting in very expensive taxi trips to a chemist to source temperature reducing medicine.

It is also important to check the advice for area you are visiting. Are there any vaccination requirements for the region?

First aid kit

A travel sized first aid kit should come equipped with bandages, plasters and antiseptic wipes. Providing reassurance when you’re travelling to unfamiliar places. It will keep the little ones happy if they have a minor accident or fall.

Travelling can be made much easier for all involved with these handy items. A few of these should keep the whole family relaxed and in a great mood to begin the holiday of a lifetime or even just a cheeky getaway.

For those with smaller children, it can be stressful and not the best start to a relaxing break. To overcome potential tantrums and make the journey as easy as possible, pack these essential items.

QLodges Our Stunning Lodge, A Real Home From Home

Last week we were lucky enough to spend a glorious long weekend at QLodges Slaley Hall, Northumberland. Nestled in 1,000 acres of breathtaking countryside, this really is the perfect family lodge break. When you visit a resort for the first time you really don’t know what to expect. Will the lodge be nice? Will it meet your expectations? Will the kids get bored? I could go on but you get my drift.

Lodge

Well, I need not have worried. I will share in my next post just how much he loved the wonderful estate and all the incredible activities. But today I wanted to share just how gorgeous the lodge is, and trust me this can’t be done in a paragraph, it was stunning.

Check-in takes place at Slaley Hall main reception, and was a quick easy process, where we received our lodge keys, and the key to our very own golf buggy. Yes, you read right every lodge has its very own golf buggy. At first I though it was a little extravagant, I mean what is wrong with walking right? But the Slaley Hall Estate is vast and the buggy was a godsend, perfect for nipping out for a spot of lunch or nipping up to the spa or golf club. And you still get plenty of opportunities to enjoy the wonderful walks, but as a family we loved the golf buggy.
