Our NCT group, including dads and babies are looking to go away for a weekend to celebrate the bubs first birthday (and indulge in copious vinos before anyone sprogs up with number two!). But we're struggling to find anywhere to accommodate us all on the weekend we're all free. Do you have any suggestions?


Ideally within 2 hours drive of ED, 6 big bedrooms (with space for travel cots), lots of ensuites/bathrooms, good space to spread out, and if we're lucky a pool or some other sort of entertainment space... It could be one big place or a couple of places side by side....

6 grown ups and 5 little ones stayed at this old oast house in kent last weekend - about 1 1/2 hours from here and beautiful. castles, steam trains and the beach at camber sand not too far away

We ended up going here and it was fabulous. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/VacationRentalReview-g1837754-d3453811-The_Saltings_at_Mocketts_Farm-Isle_of_Sheppey_Kent_England.html


It has 6 ensuite double bedrooms and a great big living area. The outdoor space was lovely and there was a communal bbq and gamesroom too. It was very family friendly with cots, highchairs and stairgates provided. And to top it off, we had delicious evening meals delivered from the local pub for a bargain price.


And all for a really really good price. We'd totally recommend it.

    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
