Welcoming families to relax, reset and reconnect with an abundance of activities to keep the entire gang entertained, guests can check out the popular football experiences, dazzling dance camps, or heart-quickening cycle challenges to name a few, many held in the state of art sports facility ‘The Campus’.
Combine these with a calendar of family picnics, outdoor cinema, and live music & cocktails in the evenings, each set amidst the resort’s seemingly-boundless grounds, and there is something for everyone. Also to note are the delicious dining options fit for each family member, and others just perfect for a quiet night ‘a deux’ away from the brood. The eccentric Magnolia Hotel is the ideal place to stay – woodland cottages or stylish suites present versatile options; and the final cherry, kids stay & eat for free..
