We have been trying to do more of this kind of thing recently too, and when we did it really struck me how much more the kids actually enjoy it and get excited, compared to when you pay so much money and go to the normal family entertainment venues! not that i would completely give that up as i think you can get a balance, but i really do think its a shame we dont automatically do more of this stuff!<br />im over from the pin it linky :)annahttp://intheplayroom.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-32630759042560765712013-06-03T21:58:44.799+01:002013-06-03T21:58:44.799+01:00That looks incredible.

Thanks for the tips .... our two like to pretend they are in the famous five (even though there are just 4 of us ) so cave exploring is just their thing. Your blog is lovely and is now saved on my favourites. we will be packing our buckets,spades, wellies and binoculars.<br />thanks for your help xxlivybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563795662368575597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-668752250450588302013-06-03T20:03:55.237+01:002013-06-03T20:03:55.237+01:00Hi Liv, yes it was!!!

Definitely order a breakfast hamper - that was wonderful at £5 per head. Home made bread, jams, fresh laid eggs, bacon, muesli, cereal and butter.<br /><br />Sadly we weren't booked in for long (it was a bit of a road-trip holiday!) we arrived 5pm on the Wednesday evening and had to return home at 10am on the Friday so we only really had one full day in the area. Aberaeron is worth a visit, very pretty harbour town (that's where we went crabbing!) We also went to Llangrannog beach which is clean and good for swimming/paddling/surfing and cave exploring! Although check the tides as there's not much beach when it's in! Parking on the front is pretty horrendous, but there's a free car park about 15 mins up the hill.<br /><br />You'll have a wonderful time xLiz Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05860282774080831783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-16518026603342773242013-06-03T18:44:00.263+01:002013-06-03T18:44:00.263+01:00is that the airstream at wildernest ?? we are book...is that the airstream at wildernest ?? we are booked in the cottage there with the kiddwinks - so excited.
