If you want to take the whole family on holiday, and keep everybody happy,

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?
