“It was brilliant, I have already booked to go back," Gemma, from Bury, told her 2.1million Instagram followers. Stating she was keen to take her mum and kids back to the village, she added: "We are going to go back later on in the year when Gorka is away because it was fab.” The site is packed with activities to keep families entertained, including a tropical themed swimming pool with slides, a nine-hole golf course, a boating lake for pedal boats, craft sessions, fishing, multi-sports and more.
