February half-term can prove challenging for families, many of whom are still recovering financially from Christmas, whilst looking ahead to the extended Easter break. We’re all aware the British weather isn’t always delightful, but that doesn’t mean you can’t discover an enjoyable destination for a getaway that won’t break the bank.

Woodland Lakes holiday park near Thirsk, Yorkshire, boasts numerous attractions for families this school holiday period. The heated indoor swimming pool is consistently popular with youngsters wanting to swim. There’s also an indoor play facility, Pamper Lounge Spa, restaurant and bar, along with tranquil lake views and fishing locations, which offer ample opportunities to unwind, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Situated on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors and merely a short journey from the thriving market town of Thirsk and city of York, it’s described as ‘the perfect retreat for those seeking a break away in a relaxed and picturesque environment’.

Several properties are on offer at the location this February half term including Cedar lodge. A four-night stay from February 16 to 20 costs £461 for four people, equating to £28 per person per night with Sykes Holiday Cottages.

South Lakeland Village holds an overall Google rating of 4.3 out of five with guests commending the ‘excellent’ pool and ‘good pub food’.

James Shaw, chief commercial officer for Sykes Holiday Cottages, said: “February half term is the perfect time for a family escape, and with 63% of Brits taking a UK break last year, staying closer to home is more popular than ever. Holiday resorts like Woodland Lakes Lodges offer shorter journey times, great value, and onsite activities that keep everyone entertained.

“We’re also seeing families plan later to secure better deals and work around busy schedules, so there’s still plenty of time to book a last-minute getaway.

“Cedar offers the ideal mix with a heated pool and play area for the kids, spa facilities for parents, and the North Yorkshire Moors right on the doorstep for outdoor adventures.”
