10 Top Tips for Bluestone Wales

What is Bluestone Wales great for? – Reviews of Bluestone Wales | Family Friendly Accommodation

For making family memories said Life as our Little Family. Kerry-Ann and her family enjoyed a week long adventure at Bluestone Wales. They made the most by visiting the waterpark daily, they took part in beast hunts, they toasted marshmallows at Camp Smokey, met new friends (ducks and rabbits), rested tired feet with wine and experienced the most gorgeous of sunsets. But the best part of all was getting to spend some peaceful quality time together as a family.

The incredible setting! said Travel Loving Family. Lisa from Travel Loving Family also shares six reasons on why her family loved their stay at Bluestone in Wales and those reasons include the location, the food and the beautiful lodges!

For Adventure and Tranquility said Suzanne a Mini Travellers guest contributor. Suzanne said that before her holiday to Bluestone she didn’t think it was possible to have a fun, energetic, adventurous, kid friendly holiday in the UK. Especially one that could also simultaneously offer relaxation, tranquility, skin rejuvenation and de-stressing powers for hectic parents!

Rest and relaxation according to In the Playroom who really loved the fact that her lodge backed on to the forest. ‘…many times we looked outside and saw rabbits and squirrels right outside the back door. She also found that Bluestone had a great balance between being very peaceful and relaxing, yet still having so much to keep children entertained.

For all the activities at Bluestone Wales, check out the website before you go recommends Lamb & Bear. Alex from Lamb and Bear loved the amount of activities that were on offer, not just for older kids but also for babies too. She says; ‘What instantly impressed us about Bluestone Wales is the attention to detail when it comes to infants. There is something to do for all ages. Whether it’s sensory play for 0+ month old babies or tree climbing for adults. Everyone is catered for.’

For fairy magic according to both Dear Bear and Beany and Then We Were 3 who both visited the ‘Secret Fairy Village’ during their stay at Bluestone. They got to meet a hobbit, get sprinkled with fairy dust and head off into the woods to find the secret fairy houses.

It’s great for the Well Spa Retreat said Hodge Podge Days who got to experience a four hour spa experience that included a wonderful facial treatment. Her favourite part was the hydrotherapy pool on the roof top. ‘It was incredibly peaceful and I enjoyed floating in the pool and enjoying the jets of water even in the light drizzle, in fact I think the rain added to the experience. I wasn’t cold, it was just blissful.‘

It’s all about Camp Smokey!

 Toddlers and Pre-schoolers  says Sarah from Toby Goes Banana’s. Sarah loved that there were also loads of free activities and play centres available for toddlers and pre-schoolers and they really made the most of the swimming pools and parks during their stay.

Emily from Emily and Indiana tells you it’s the Perfect Holiday for Under 5’s. She also says ‘There are a plenty of things to do at Bluestone for little ones, and many of them come included in the price of your holiday. You can also book a number of activities at a small charge, including baby / toddler sensory, messy play, Mini Rangers, bug hunting, story time and there’s even a fully equipped creche (because it’s our holiday too!).’
