If you want to take the whole family on holiday, and keep everybody happy, then i have found
just the place for you. I recently went with a group of friends to stay at the Greenwood Holiday
Village, witch is open from May until October.
Built in the center of a forest, Greenwood is a great place to stay whatever the weather. Its main
attraction for families is the indoor World of Water, whether young and old can have fun in
different pools. Same of these, however, are for serious swimmers.
For sporty people, the Country Club offers tennis, squash and badminton. If your children are
too young to joint in these sports, there are activity clubs. Greenwood is good place for families
and it is traffic free - you explore on foot or bike. Some people complained that this was
inconvenienced, but I was pleased to be out in the fresh air. For evening entertainment, there
are shows and cinemas.
Accommodation is in a variety of apartments of different sizes. These have up to four bedrooms,
a kitchen and bathroom, as well as a dinning area. Before going, I thought the apartments might
not be big enough for all of us, but I was pleasantly surprised - it was not too crowded at all.
I definitely go back to Greenwood next year. Why don't you give it a try? Visit their website for
further information now.
