Hotel Belvedere Salou Spain Review

 

If you have children who love theme parks then a trip to Portaventura World in Salou, Spain is a great place to visit. My children certainly enjoy a theme park visit so we booked a long weekend to Salou in Spain with Jet2 as a package staying at the Ohotels Hotel Belvedere. 

We had never been to Salou before and had no idea what to expect, we visited over the October half term holidays and we flew from Newcastle. I visited with my three children aged twenty two, eleven and ten at the time we visited - my husband was at work so stayed home to look after the dogs. We paid around one thousand two hundred pounds for the trip for two adults and two children, this included flights with reserved seating and bags, transfers and hotel and park tickets. We were staying at the Hotel Belvedere for three nights on a half-board basis - breakfast and evening meal. 

Cadbury World

 AD 

Did you know that you could visit a real life chocolate factory here in England? Cadbury World in Birmingham is a real life chocolate factory that you can visit to find out the history of chocolate and Cadburys and find out how it is made. The perfect day out for any chocoholic!

The Arcade Warehouse North Shields

 

The Arcade Warehouse in North Shields is a great day out for gaming mad kids (and grown ups). It is a arcade with a difference as once you pay to get in all the games are free to play during your two hour session.

Afternoon Tea At The Running Fox Northumberland

 

One of the best afternoon teas here in the North East is The Running Fox in Northumberland. I have visited a few times now and the food is always delicious. The Running Fox have five cafes in Northumberland located at Felton, Longframlington, Powburn, Longhoughton and Kirkharle Courtyard.

Ninja Warrior Teesside Review

 AD - Invited. 

Did you know that there is a Ninja Warrior adventure park here in the North East? Located in Stockton this indoor adventure park is just like the popular ITV TV show obstacle course and is  tons of fun for active kids and grown ups. 

Located in Teesside Leisure Park in Stockton-on-Tees Ninja Warrior is about an hours drive from Newcastle. There is plenty of free on site parking and as it is indoors it is perfect for a rainy day activity the whole family will enjoy. 

Hyde Park Lane Apartments Lanzarote Review

 

As a family we love to visit Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and have visited four times over the last few years. One of the places we have stayed is Hyde Park Lane apartments or some people call them bungalows in the Los Pocillos area near Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote. We visited as a family with two children (aged 10 and 8 years old when we visited). 

We booked this holiday to Hyde Park Lane, Lanzarote as a package with Jet2 Holidays and flew from Newcastle airport. We visited in the May and booked on a self catering basis and we got a free child place included. 

Diggerland Durham

 

If you have a digger or tractor mad child then Diggerland is a must-visit day out as the whole park is just filled with so many different tractor and digger activities. It is a great family day out with lots to see and do. 

 

 Diggerland has four sites in England - Devon, Kent, Yorkshire and Durham. We visited the Durham site with children aged 11 and 12 and I was worried they might be a bit too old but they both had a good time and there was plenty for them to do.
