Still, we Irish are nothing if not stoic in the face of incessant rain and dull grey skies. But we’re only human too, in spite of heroic appearances, so it’s only natural to crave some distraction from the gloomy weather. If you’re fortunate enough to be able to escape from it all for a few days, and the idea of a going somewhere with on-site family activities floats your pedalo, then
And like Center Parcs, you can hire bikes to get around the resort. Accommodation is made up of cabin-style lodges and terraced cottages.A three-bedroom lodge costs from £2,910 for seven nights. Alternatively, a four-night stay in a two-bedroom lodge costs from £1,120 .Cambrils Park in Spain has five pool complexes, crazy golf, tennis, trampolining, football, family crafts, sports for adults and other entertainment.
And those activities are suitable from toddler age right up to adults. They include ziplines, ninja course, challenge rooms, fairy trails, adventure playgrounds, disc golf, bushcraft, orienteering and mini off-road jeeps, among others.It doesn’t have a large tropical pool with water slides, a key attraction of Center Parcs, but it does have high-spec self-catering cabins and a 140-seater restaurant.
