We really enjoyed the sauna and hot tub, and there was plenty of space for adults and children to play and socialise. The play barn was brilliant, as it covered all the ages of the children, (ranging from 20 months to 12 years). They loved going each morning to collect the eggs from the chicken coop. The adults enjoyed a badminton competition in the large barn too! I would highly recommend this place to large groups. Asda deliver there too, so food delivery was easy.
