Hi, I’m Mike.
I live in South Wales with my wife Elaine and our 12-year-old twin boys, Samuel and Thomas.
Sixty Rocks started as a way to document our family adventures and has gradually grown into a collection of honest holiday park reviews, lodge tours, videos and practical guides based on real stays across the UK.
Unlike many travel sites, we’re not a marketing agency or a team of writers. We’re simply a family sharing the places we’ve visited, the accommodation we’ve stayed in and what we genuinely thought about the experience.
We’re older parents, with twins arriving when I was 52 and Elaine was in her forties.
That means our holidays look a little different.
Some reviewers travel during quieter term-time periods, but we usually visit during school holidays, paying the same peak prices most families do. We think that gives a realistic picture of what visitors can expect.
Our reviews focus on:
✓ Accommodation and lodges
✓ Facilities and entertainment
✓ Walking distances and accessibility
✓ Value for money
✓ Nearby attractions and days out
✓ What surprised us – both good and bad
My career has been spent largely in the public sector, moving from highways and HR into management information and insight work.
Today I work part-time as an Employee Insight Analyst at the Intellectual Property Office, while Elaine works there too as a Formalities Examiner.
Outside work we’ve developed a habit of exploring the UK one holiday park at a time, documenting the journey through blogs, videos and our YouTube channel.
We’re not influencers.
We’re not travel journalists.
We’re simply a family trying to make the most of life, creating memories and helping other families decide where to spend their precious holiday time and money.
If you’re looking for honest holiday park reviews, practical guides and genuine family experiences, welcome aboard.
