We love holidays. It is a chance for us to get away from it all and spend quality time together, to do things that we wouldn't normally do or can't do at home. To spend family time together without the distractions of X-box, Wii, DS's, hundreds of TV channels and computers and TV's in every room.
We were on holiday last week and came home today, we had a fab time despite it being cold since Wednesday. We love Barnsdale Hall and it is the third year in a row that we have been. This year we had a ground floor Stable Mews apartment which had 2 double bedrooms. The living room had French Doors leading to outside so we had ducks most of the day hanging around looking in the glass asking to be fed! We went through far too many loaves of bread!
The kids love it here as the swimming pool is huge so they love swimming in the deep end and jumping in the deep end and seeing who stays under water the longest. We have been swimming everyday! There are other things for kids to do too - a play area, crazy golf, table tennis and tennis courts. It is also on the shores of Rutland Water so we enjoy walking to the water and feeding the ducks.
I will shortly do a review of Barnsdale Hall and add more pictures from the past three years which I will add to the Holiday tab at the top of the page.

I'm not keen on beaches, I don't like sand or the sea. But I LOVE waters! I just find them so peaceful and tranquil. I love seeing ducks on the water, I love seeing the sun reflecting off the water, I love seeing trees and mountains reflecting off the water, I love the lapping of water against the shore, I just love mass expanses of water, they are so pretty and peaceful.
