5th May 2023 | 3 minute read
Entertain the whole family during half-term or school holidays on an Old Thorns short break full of sweet treats, adventure, and filled with fun!
Set in the heart of Hampshire, the resort is surrounded by luscious countryside with family walking trails, fantastic local activities plus amazing onsite entertainment including a swimming pool, diner-style café, virtual golf experience suitable for kids (and grown-ups too!) and pool tables.
All you need to do is bring wellies, and board games and be prepared to enjoy plenty of giggles whilst making memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you to Gemma Dudas Smith (IG @LifeinSA) for these fantastic photos
