It all looks pretty awesome, but for our family, I think the Forest Ranger adventures would be top of the bill.

The cabins do look amazingly tranquil.

Sallycinammonbangsthedruminthe · 09/05/2019 19:20

I would love to explore the Keldy site...just to sit and look up at the stars...that would be perfect for me...

Fozziebear79 · 09/05/2019 19:29

To show them that there is more to life than technology and that you can have more fun running around in the fresh air, riding bikes and showing them the nature around , also it would be amazing to take a relaxing holiday together as a family as having 5 children and studying for a degree its left little time to come together and spend quality time together and a forest holiday resort would be the perfect place to relax and get some much neede fresh air and family time.

kate20091985 · 09/05/2019 19:31

I would love to take my kids on the forest ranger walks, being able to see all that nature has to offer and hear from an expert sounds amazing :)

janeoho · 09/05/2019 19:42

I would love to stay in a Cabin with a hot tub. I wouldn't get out of it!!

daisychicken · 09/05/2019 19:50

It's the private hot tub that really appeals to me and just relaxing in a forest!

justanothernomaj · 09/05/2019 19:55

For me, it’s definitely the chance to be right in the middle of the dawn chorus and feel really close to nature.

rupert23 · 09/05/2019 20:16

the best part of a forest holiday would be staying in the cabin and walking in the woods exploring with my sons. we love Beddgelert Snowdonia it is so beautiful there.

WreckTangled · 09/05/2019 20:21

I've looked at Forest holidays for a Christmas getaway. We would go with family and have a traditional cosy Christmas by the fire and a walk in the woods. I would totally end up in the spa too

sm2012 · 09/05/2019 20:48

It all looks so relaxing but I think the best part of a Forest Holiday would be the peace and quiet and watching (and joining in with!) the kids exploring and climbing trees :)

ladytyndale · 09/05/2019 21:04

The cabins look amazing, and I love the idea of just being "away" from all our day to day distractions, and spending time with the children. I'd like to think we'd try some new things and enjoying each others company in a beautiful environment

Mollcat · 09/05/2019 21:34

Being in the middle of nature from the very start to very end of the day. The treehouses do look awesome!

poorbuthappy · 09/05/2019 21:47

Quality family time. We are crying out for it at the moment. Things are stressful, I'm changing my job, DH is going for promotion, kids growing up and I'm yearning to just stop and appreciate.
So yeah all of it pls pref in Cornwall as we've never been there as a family!

Gatoadigrado · 09/05/2019 22:49

For me the best thing would be the chance to just step away from the rush of day to day life and spend time with the people I love. Proper rest and relaxation

Tefiti2 · 09/05/2019 22:52

I think the GoApe would be a massive hit with DC! For me - it would be the hot tub...!

RomaineCalm · 09/05/2019 23:02

Just being outdoors, walking, cycling, picnics and chilling with no electronics.

And then back in the evening for a relaxing hot tub and a bread/cheese/pâté type supper. 😊

Pimmsypimms · 09/05/2019 23:16

Archery in Sherwood Forest would be amazing!! Although my aim isn't the best so I'd make sure i picked a quiet day

TimandGinger · 13/05/2019 11:39

I'd love to go to the Argyll one and enjoy being right by the loch. My DH would enjoy trying the Jeep safari ride too and I like the sound of the play area as well.

Bemystarlord · 13/05/2019 11:51

Ive not been on a forest holiday before bit after looking at the website i would say being out in the fresh air exploring the forests and enjoying family time. Looks perfect.

Tigger83 · 13/05/2019 12:39

Being able to spend time as a family in the great outdoors! Getting out on bikes, going off for long walks exploring the beautiful countryside. Then once ds is in bed dh and I relaxing in the hot tub with some bubbles. Sounds perfect!!!

Danascully2 · 15/05/2019 06:56

It would be lovely to be in a woodland so it's not too sunny as we all burn badly in the sun! So UK holidays for us every year.... Also, I've never been in a hot tub.....

BelindasGleeTeam · 15/05/2019 07:00

Tiring the kids out with imagination based adventures on the woods and bike rides, then relaxing in the hot tub in the evening. Proper dark skies and the dawn chorus to wake us up.

Sounds heavenly.

SushiGo · 15/05/2019 07:05

We'd love to try some of the forest ranger experiences as a family, particularly the night one for a bit of extra adventure (and a comfy cabin to go back to makes it more tempting!)

JamB4cream · 16/05/2019 15:25

Experiencing an amazing woodland sunset, and some serious star gazing with less light pollution and a wonderful dark sky. 🌛

mizu · 17/05/2019 17:22

Spending time together in a great outdoor location sounds bliss. Grew up in the Forest of Dean and it really is stunning, as I'm sure all these places are. Just don't appreciate it when you're 14
