Going on holiday as a family can be a minefield. Keeping everyone happy might seem like an impossible task, but it can be done! Over the past few years we’ve been fortunate enough to visit numerous family friendly destinations that really have gone above and beyond to ensure they get family holidays just right. I’ve really enjoyed putting together this selection of our Top 5 Tried & Tested family holiday recommendations for 2022. Each recommendation includes a link to a detailed review and I’ve even been able to arrange some exclusive booking deals just for followers of Juggling on Rollerskates – I know…I’m so good to you!
