Travel Bucket List 2016

As you know we are a travel loving family. We can't keep our feet on the ground for long, whether it's holidays abroad, UK mini breaks or over nights stays. We just love it. Here is my family bucket list for 2016.

1) Park Resorts - Carmarthen Bay

This particular park is quite special to hubby and I. We have stayed here 3 times now since we had our first child. In fact, it was the very first trip Eva went on when she was 3 months old. We also went when I was pregnant with Ophelia so we would love to go as a family of 4 this year. Hubby also used to come here when he was growing up as his grandparents used to own a chalet there. 

We've stayed in a caravan and a chalet there but I definitely prefer the chalet. The park has a great entertainment centre and pool area. Eva had such a fab time when we last stayed there.

2) Disneyland Paris

We are most definitely a Disney loving family. Awryn and I went to Disneyland a couple of times when it was just the 2 of us and we have also taken Eva. It's a dream of ours to go to Disneyworld but that won't be for a while. There is something so magical about Disney.You just can't stop laughing and smiling. I am one of those parents that completely embrace it. You will find me wondering around with my minnie mouse ears on my head and pin trading lanyard around my neck. 

3) Icmeler, Turkey

I know I have already had a sun holiday this year but i'm sure later on in the year I will be craving another one. If we can afford it, I would love to go to Turkey. I have been on many holidays to Icmeler throughout my childhood and I love it there. It was where Eva had her first holiday abroad. The weather is always fantastic. A far cry from our great British summer!

4) Loveland Farm

I recently came across this  Devon campsite on instagram and it's one of the most exciting looking clamping sites i've seen. It's situated on 6 acres of land and is close to the beach. It's philosophy is getting back to basics, to relax and enjoy nature. The accommodation is very unique but modern style pods. My favourite of all of them has to be The Loveland Pod. Something you may not know about our family yet is that we are big stargazers. We have a telescope and love to teach Eva all about our solar system. These pods look like a dream come true for a stargazing family.

5) Forest Holidays - Forest of Dean

I've been desperate to have a little break in these beautiful log cabins for a long time. My hairdresser has also had a few stays here and raves about it. The idea of a log cabin screams family time to me. I can imagine us having a brilliant time exploring the lovely Forest of Dean (which isn't too far from where we live) and then going back to our cabin and snuggling up with a hot chocolate. I love the fact that there are hot tubs there too.

6) The Celtic Manor

Hubby and I love the Celtic Manor. It's our favourite place in South Wales to have afternoon tea. We also adore staying here. The resort always makes me feel like i'm on holiday. I always feel very relaxed after staying there and they have a fantastic breakfast. We've actually not stayed at the hotel as a family so I would love to do that this year. They have recently opened The Hunter Luxury Lodges and their Coldra Court site so it would be nice to try one of those out.

Have you been to any of these places on my bucket list?
