Weekend away with kids?

I took my 2 and 6yr old grandsons to Dudley for the weekend.


It was ideal, we stayed in the Premier Inn £29 per night. I took a baby video/listening device bought from Tesco's. The 2yr old went to bed at 7pm and me and the 6yr old were able to sit in the restaurant/bar watching him until he fell asleep, when it was the 6yr olds bed time I was able to watch the both of them until it was time for me to go up without disturbing any of them. It worked a treat.


Dudley was an excellent choice, within half a mile there was the Castle and zoo, The Black County Museum and the Canal Trips. right next to the hotel was a retail park with plenty of eateries and a cinema complex where we went to see Despicable Me. Overall it was a very busy weekend and we had no need to use the car for the whole weekend. I would highly recommend Dudley for anyone with young children.

We have just got home from pontins in north wales, it gets a lot of bad press but it isn't that bad.

We normally go twice a year and depending when you book can get it for £60.

You get the choice of mon-fri or fri-mon.

My lil girl loves it aswell, which is the main reason we go.

Caravan/holiday park sites are really good for stuff like this if you want a family focussed break.

There is so much for the kids to do, you'll actually get time as a couple while the kids are entertained within sight as well. Evening entertainment can be good and the kids will be shattered and probably sleep in

There are some smaller hotels that have 2 bedroom family suite arrangements so you can stay up late and have some privacy, I have used one in Blackpool and one in Saundersfoot in S.Wales but there are no doubt many others, it can be difficult to find them as there isn't really a website listing this type of room, there should be!
