Driving to Cornwall
We are driving to Padstow from Yorkshire at the end of the month. Normally we drive down the M6/M5, but find the frequent delays and roadworks a bit of a bind. According to the route planners, the M1/M42 is only about 15 miles further. Would we be less likely to encounter problems using this route? We plan to set off at…

Are Places Like Center Parcs Safe?
Naively asking those who've stayed in one if you've ever felt unsafe/vulnerable at night to burglars et al in a secluded lodge in the middle of a forest? Contracting lyme disease aside, I quite like the idea of a woodland retreat but have felt they seem like easy targets for ne'er-do-wells!

A cautionary tale about dogs and UK holidays
I'm writing to vent my frustration as I have no other options. Made a silly mistake and only myself to blame but would rather not see anyone else go through this. As with most of us, this year has been really hard and have missed the opportunity to get away. My Dad died in May (lung cancer) and in the following week I…

We are considering the possibility, next summer, of decamping for the entire 6-week summer holidays to somewhere like the Lake District. We would have the intention of working for most of it and so would need good broadband, and a decent table to work at etc. What would be the best way of doing this? Would a standard…
