Having husband and childre all together with no Wi-Fi, oh and a hot tub to! Bit of cycling and glass of wine listening to nature, bliss.

The long walks, fresh air and some family time - especially after exam stress! A lovely glass of wine and a hot too won't go amiss either Grin

wheretoyougonow · 08/05/2019 23:02

Hot tub, not hot too! Blush

Snugabugz · 08/05/2019 23:08

We spend the year doing tag team parenting to fit in work and looking after elderly parents so it would be a chance to spend time together as a family.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 08/05/2019 23:12

The treehouses look incredible. I've been to the local Forest of Dean site and it's lovely - would love to take the kids a bit further afield with a company I trust.

Straysocks · 08/05/2019 23:37

It would be bliss. I don't know how to 'do' the outdoors but given my children are at their happiest and truest in nature I must, must try. I see the magic, the earnest interest, the submission to a wonder that cannot be found elsewhere. I see the satisfying weariness of open air adventures and their healthy glow. I don't though, have anything but urban experience to lead them with, to nurture their nature. We need a bridge in reality and metaphorically (and an actual stream and absolutely definitely a hot tub) to get us along this road (path?). We would so love it. Good luck one and all.

Bike rides and family chill time

Pinklady301 · 08/05/2019 23:43

I live in London alone with my 10 year old and the thought of being out in the open, fresh air away from the hustle and bustle, doing activities like cycling ( once DD gets hang of it!) and just spending quality time together would be fantastic.

OneLuckyLady · 09/05/2019 00:00

I prefer having experiences to having things, so Forest Holidays ticks that box for me. Getting teens off their devices and out in the fresh air, reconnecting with them and having real quality family time is priceless and it's what I value most.

CheshireChat · 09/05/2019 01:30

The treehouses definitely. And probably the hot tub as well, but honestly the treehouses .

SylvanianFrenemies · 09/05/2019 03:17

I just love how calming it is being surrounded by trees, so it would be that for me. The hot tubs and the chance to see red squirrels co e a close second!

FrequentFlyer96 · 09/05/2019 03:35

Being surrounded by nature and breathing in all the fresh air would be amazing! The cabins look well equipped and a great place to retreat to after a day of fun.

YouJustDoYou · 09/05/2019 03:36

Just being surrounded by calm forest whilst the kids played nearby surrounded by nature.

MrsFrTedCrilly · 09/05/2019 03:38

Waking up to peace and quiet and a long walk through gorgeous woods.

angel0071987 · 09/05/2019 08:09

Simply family time altogether with hubbie not working!!! A time for all of us to catch up as a theeesome before new baby arrrives in the autumn. Bliss

TheGoogleMum · 09/05/2019 08:36

The seclusion and privacy to enjoy the hot tub (better in cool weather in my opinion!).

Laura221 · 09/05/2019 13:04

Good quality family time together exploring together.

26buzy · 09/05/2019 13:30

Spending time as a family, with walks with the dog and spending time in the hot tub! Amazing!

biffyboom · 09/05/2019 13:37

This would be a magical forest adventure for our children, yet the perfect relaxing break for us!
Just the perfect break I have been looking at for dps 40th later this year.

DownRightAmazing · 09/05/2019 13:40

Ooh, thanks Mumsnet and Forest Breaks! My family enjoy chilling out with a BBQ, we love bike rides etc but I have to be honest and say that it's the hot tubs that do it for us! It'd be a great holiday with extended family in one of the larger cabins too...

Number3or4 · 09/05/2019 13:47

Fishing, looking very relaxing.

Kidssendingmenuts · 09/05/2019 14:46

I've just booked at Cropton and used the code £73 off! Thanks Mumsnet xx

wishingchair1 · 09/05/2019 14:51

We'd love caving, biking, the pool, walking through the woods hunting for fairies. Looks amazing.

blackteasplease · 09/05/2019 15:53

Very hard to pick! Being outdoors and away from every day life, especially as we live in the city. Hot tubs and treehouses sound amazing.

The kids would love to try pony rides!

firsttimekat · 09/05/2019 16:04

Everything! They sound amazing, such a good selection of activities and love the idea of being deep in the woods. When can we go!
