We had a three day bank weekend, so we decided to head to the country. After many hours of searching the internet for pseudo-nearby castles, we finally settled on going towards Bath/Bristol area to Bradford-Upon-Avon. There was a “family friendly” manor house hotel.
The house was beautiful and huge! But the thing that most impressed me was the “family friendly” hotel part. The Brits know how to do family friendly! There was an indoor pool which the kids loved (an outdoor one too but it was tooooo cold), a trampoline, two or three fields for football and cricket, two different kids clubs rooms with toys and games, two different playgrounds, kids menus, and even a dog and a hamster on property.
We explored some of the area around the house/hotel as well. Bradford is a quaint little English town with some beautiful and stereotypical buildings. We had a great and relaxing weekend for all four of us.
