Holiday in Wales – 5 fun things to do in Bluestone Wales.

Holiday in Wales – 5 fun things to do in Bluestone Wales.

We often go on a holiday in Wales. Wales is such a beautiful country and we try to see as much of it as we can. Especially as it is pretty much on our doorstep.

In October we received the early bird email from Bluestone Wales (if you are not signed up to their mailing list you definitely should). Due to our Easter holidays starting earlier than other schools we found a really good deal to stay for five days. Now we have been to Bluestone Wales before and we loved it. So we were excited to return (with an extra child in tow!)

Holiday in Wales - Bluestone Wales

After an amazing few days I wanted to write a little list of our top five things to do. It was actually really hard to narrow it down because we managed to squeeze so much into our time there. After a good family chat this is what we came up with.

Get biking

The good thing about Bluestone is it’s a car free zone! Once you arrive you unpack your car it then stays in the car park unless you’re leaving the resort. It is a great concept with it being nice to walk around and let the kids play freely without the worry of looking out for cars. You can however hire a golf buggy to get around (these are so cool) or, like us, you can travel around by bike.

There is something quite liberating about hopping on your bike every morning. Exploring, sampling the many bike paths that Bluestone have to offer.

My husband is a biker as are my children but there was quite a novelty having Mummy on a bike too. It was good to feel the wind in your hair, using your muscles to climb the hills and whizzing down the hills like I did when I was a child. It is also a great way to keep fit!

Go Swimming

My girls love swimming, again they go to swimming lessons but we rarely go as a family. The Blue Lagoon pool is quite amazing. Firstly the water is so lovely and warm, it’s like getting into a bath, perfect for younger babies.

A special sectioned off area is ideal for children up to 6 years old, having a little slide and toys in. There is a lazy river which meanders outside past some small outdoor pools and a hot tub before making its way back in again. Every so often a siren sounds followed by a buzz of excitement followed by waves in the main pool. This was lots of fun. Oh and let’s not forget several great slides which Meme loved. Especially the one that again takes you outside with the opportunity to stop half way down and chill out in two outdoor pools before rejoining the flow.

Not quite as exciting but still vital for families, large family changing areas make it that little bit easier to get everyone dry and dressed. Free swim nappies were an unexpected bonus.

Check out the Park

A great park perfect for all ages. It has a nice soft floor for when little ones (Alfie!) fall over. There are a couple of different size slides so no one misses out on the fun. It is also situated in the middle of the village so you can even sit in the local cafe or bar area and watch the kids from afar as you have a cuppa or glass of wine.

The Sky Walk

There are so many different things for your child to do at Bluestone. Art and crafts, pool activities, off road driving. Whatever your child is into I promise you will find something for them.

My girls are currently into climbing. As soon as we arrived they declared they wanted to do the sky walk and wall climbing. I love that they choose these kind of activities, I think they are so good for confidence building and the sense of achievement that they feel once they have reached the top of the wall is so lovely to see.

Harri is at the age where she questions her own abilities, so I hoped this would show her how amazing she is.

Both girls loved the experience and I would highly recommend this activity.

Explore The Countryside

You can’t fully appreciate the beauty of Bluestone until you have experienced it. It is simply stunning. You are surrounded by rolling hills and mountains. It is pretty much all you can see for miles.

It is like driving onto an island, a little place of paradise. There is such a nice chilled vibe about it and things like the weather really don’t bother you. Waking up each morning and looking out of your window to this beautiful place full of magic and splendour really is something special.
