We are just back from a wonderful long weekend stay at Rascal Wood. We were a group of 4 families with parents and teenagers. Gordon and Jill were very responsive, friendly and helpful, with great advice on where to go and what to do. On the first night we used Just Eat to have an excellent curry delivered, no problems whatsoever. Second we made the short walk into the local village and had a hearty meal at The Olde Red Lion pub. They looked after us really well. Then on the third night we stayed in and all shared the cooking. The kitchen is very well equipped, with a modern dishwasher (bring tabs with you) 3 fridges and ovens with hobs. A big fancy toaster, microwave, 3 cafetieres and lots of utensils, pots, pans, cutlery, crockery, mugs and glasses. Huge dining room with plenty of space for up to 14 people. The kids enjoyed the games room, and the high speed internet. The adults made use of the generous selection of garden furniture to enjoy relaxing outside in the sunshine. Great water pressure, everyone appreciated the powerful showers in the various bathrooms available, better than we have at home! Big fluffy towels! We spent one day at Allethorpe Lakeland Park, just a 25 minute drive away. You need to book in advance. Loads of water-based activities for kids and grown ups. A large Cafe serving food and drinks meant we didn't need to use the picnic tables. Rascal Wood is in a very quiet location, set in beautiful rural scenery, but close enough to the local amenities and supermarket to be convenient for shopping trips and meals out. Aug 24th, 2022
