The Corry Family’s First Holiday by Niamh Docherty

2010 has seen the closure of airports in Scotland on numerous occasions due to the dreaded ash cloud and ‘worst weather in 40 years’. This leaves the question of where can families with young children escape to with the guaratee you will make it home in time for work?Since air travel became affordable for the working man holiday-ing in Scotland has become undesired but when in need of a short break it may be the best idea all round. The parents of the recently discovered ‘Olivia Corry’ decided to escape to the

beautiful Mcdonald hotel in Crieff Hydro. Scotland is filled with gorgeous creeks and crannies everywhere and is one the most beautiful under valued countries in the world. Baby model and fashionista ‘Olivia Corry’ has been sweeping the nation. The family were looking for a quiet, isolated location to escape the madness. They have allowed ‘Bundle’ an exclu-sive, all access pass to join them on their holiday and capture those happy family memories. The Macdonald Crieff Hydro Hotel offers a range of activties, restaurants and beautiful scenary, perfect for a quiet holiday. There is a baby pool avail-able and family changing rooms to cater for all the family.

We caught up with the young couple, Danielle and Ross Corry to ask them exactly what they thought of the resort.

How have you enjoyed your time here and would you recommend it to our ‘Bundle’ readers? Danielle: “ I would thouroughly rec-ommend it to all of the readers. It is a great place to escape to, just to spend some quality time the three of us is great. The facilities are fantastic. We tool Olivia shopping earlier she abso-lutely loved it she is definately a water baby.”

Have you managed to escape the media the entire time you have been here?Ross: “ yes it has been great. The hotel offers a privacy policy, where no paps can disturb you whilst you are on your holiday. Danielle: “ at this point in olivias life it would of been a nightmare to try and tackle all of her things through the airport with paps chasing us.

Other than wanting a break away have you been enjoying the media attention your family and especially Olivia has been recieving? Danielle: “ the media attention doesnt really bother me either way. I get an-noyed when im just trying to do my shopping and they scrutinise what i buy. Oliva is fed extreamly healthy. Look at her she is the picture of health. It is just silly really.
