How I resisted the temptation to belt out some classic Bryan Adams I'll never know
If you want to know if the schoolkids are on holiday right now, Center Parcs has a really useful tool on its website. If you would need to sell a kidney to book a short break then yes, they are on holiday.
More specifically Sherwood Castle Holiday Forest, next to Rufford Abbey Country Park, off Rufford Lane. We'd stayed in Hoseasons places before, and found them a bit strange. Not bad, just a bit weird. I have terrifying memories of some kids entertainment being so scary my youngest son refused to sleep because of "the demon pig".
The site, which isn't huge, is based around a huge wooden castle which contains several props from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves including a trebuchet, wagon and the belfry, which is in the reception itself. There's a small pool too, but it also looked a bit like a prop from Prince of Thieves. The fact that my kids didn't fancy it, and they'll swim in a deep puddle given the chance, shows that it was not particularly enticing.
