GREENWOODS HOLIDAY VILLAGE
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, which is open from May until October.
Built in the centre of a forest, Greenwood is a place to stay whatever the weather is. Its
main attraction for families is the indoor World of Water, where young and old people can
have fun in the different pools. Some of these, however, are for serious swimmers only.
For sporty people, the Country Club offers tennis, squash and badminton. If your children
are too young to join in these sports, there are activity clubs. Greenwood is a good place
for families as it is traffic-free - you explore on foot or by bike. Some people complained
that this was inconvenient, 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 a bathroom, as well as a dining 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'll definitely go back to Greenwood next year. Why don't you give it a try? Visit their
website for further information now!
