Over the Summer Holidays we had a mid week break at Ribby Hall Village near Blackpool. So what did we think? We had visited Ribby Hall in 2014 when the children were 4 and 3 and were keen to find out what had changed and what had improved. NB: We were hosted at Ribby Hall …

It is always tricky finding family friendly holiday destinations (hence this blog) especially with toddlers. After three trips to Center Parcs in two years for short breaks we fancied something different (and a bit cheaper) so we found Ribby Hall. An Alternative to Center Parcs so to speak.
