I’ve just had a great weekend away..
Well I’ve just had lovely few days off, as well as Milo’s school holidays it was also a special birthday for my Dad and he paid for us all to go away for the weekend. We stayed in the Cotswold Water Park, which is only an hour away but somewhere that I’d never heard off.
It’s an area of 133 lakes covering 40 square miles and despite the fact that it used to be quarries, it is beautifully scenic and offers all sorts of facilities and entertainments from birdwatching and walking to windsurfing and jet ski-ing. It is a place that attracts all types of people and all age groups.
We stayed in a 5 bedroomed luxury holiday home on the Lower Mill Estate, which was a complex of luxury house all with lake views and on a site offering spa facilities, an indoor and heated outdoor pool, children’s play areas, trampolines and tennis courts. The site itself was nice and quiet and the house was fab with 3 balconies, giant beanbag sun loungers, a hot tub and barbecue.
We spent most of our time eating and drinking and it was really good to spend some time with my brother’s family and my nephews.
If you are looking for a weekend getaway and can’t find a mini cruise to fit your dates, then I would recommend this area. The details of the property we stayed in can be found via this link
Plus we have my Mum’s big birthday next year, so if anyone knows of similiar places that are great for 3 generation families from 5yrs upwards then let me know.
