Our summer holiday this year was pretty low key – a few nights visiting friends in the north of Scotland and then 3 nights in a hotel in Aviemore. We had the loveliest time catching up with our friends, seeing two new houses and meeting one new arrival. Despite arriving with bags that made it [...]
Just recently we had the opportunity to go to Arran. I haven’t visited many of Scotland’s islands so jumped at the chance to get away from the city and spend the weekend with friends. We spent two nights in Seawinds cottage with four friends and their three toddlers. Getting There We were driving from [...]
I started planning LoveBaby LoveTravel on our trip to Europe during summer 2010 and one of my plans was to include accommodation reviews of all the places we stayed. 7 months later I’m finally getting around to it! My first review is of Bella Baita in the Italian Alps because it was undoubtably the friendliest place [...]
It is properly snowing here in Edinburgh and I’m dreaming of roaring log fires in Ardnamurchan. My husband has recently starting experimenting with timelapse on his camera so today I’m posting a video rather than a still. His first attempt at creating a timelapse was taken during our stay in Old Kilmory Church in Ardnamurchan. Essentially [...]
In our family it’s all about the food. People are shocked when they eat with us because we tend to plan lunch as we’re eating breakfast and dinner as we’re eating lunch. We stated planning the menu for our three night stay in Perthshire months before going there last February. Long lists were cut down [...]
Last week we stayed in Old Kilmory Church in Ardnamurchan for 4 nights. You can read my review of the accommodation here. We had a total media blackout – no TV, internet or mobile phones (OK, an almost blackout – we did happen across some mobile reception on a couple of occasions when we were [...]
Even though they can’t tell us, babies know where their home is. At home, my son Euan has a bedtime routine which helps him to sleep. We read a couple of stories, Daddy gives him his bath, he gets dried and into his jammies, has a feed and then goes to bed. It doesn’t always [...]
Last week we went on a family holiday to Ardnamurchan, a remote peninsula at the most westerly point of mainland Scotland. We stayed in a beautifully converted church with views over the islands of Muck, Eigg, Rum and Skye. Getting There Glencoe Ardnamurchan is about a 5 hour drive from Edinburgh. We stopped twice so [...]
This Monday I’m dreaming of the first family holiday we took after the birth of my son. Euan was 6 weeks old and we travelled to Perthshire in the north of Scotland for my mum’s 60th birthday. The journey there involved breastfeeding and nappy changing in the car whilst parked at the side of the [...]
Here are my tips for finding family friendly accommodation: Tell the hotel that you are travelling with a baby/child. On our travels we’ve found our hotel/b&b hosts to be extremely accommodating. In France we were given a room on the ground floor so that we didn’t have to worry about getting the buggy/stroller up the [...]
