I've been to sherwood a few times - it was lovely. Go in the winter, and if at all possible, not in the school holidays. It keeps the costs and the crowds down. The 'dome' with all the swimming bits it is not too bad, as it's all divided up into bits, so you don't feel like you're in a huge aquarium with millions of people. Loads of swimming stuff, loungers, free sunbeds and jacuzzis. The chalets are basic, but clean and warm, and all have their own patio bit. Cars are not allowed except on arrival/departure days, so you get around by bike or on foot. It's quite big - set in forests and lakes etc etc etc, so there is plenty of space to get away from the noise and bustle. It's a great holiday with people you like, or a bit of peace and quiet. You will need to take something to entertain yourself with if you don't want to swim all day, all week (I have very fond memories of an impromptu murder mystery party) You can probably wave both lads off to pools all day, and enjoy the peace and quiet reading or whatever for a week. The shop is basic, and I don't recall the restaurants being great, so you might want to take supplies.
It's is a lovely holiday, if you like peace and quiet, seclusion or (of course) swimming. Or was, twenty years ago. No idea how much it's changed. Great for kids. |
