How to have fun in the Lincolnshire Wolds - Family Holiday
For the past three years my family and five other families from my village have enjoyed a weekend in Brookhouse Barn in Louth.
This has become a firm yearly favourite with both children and adults alike. Before leaving for the bunkhouse we all plan exactly what each of us needs to bring - we divide up meals by so each family needs to make one main meal - this means no one person spending loads of time in the kitchen and means we don't duplicate what each other brings.
We even decide who will bring the tea and coffee (though the owner always ensures there is some available in case you forget!)
We spend the weekend mostly on the beach - as we are from Derbyshire the beach is something we don't get to easily! We go body boarding, build sand sculptures, kite flying, play at the local amusements and the men usually have a very competetive game of crazy golf.
We also manage to fit in having a horse ride through the local, very beautiful, countryside.
The kids have a fantastic time running around together and exploring each others rooms in the very comfortable bunkhouse. All in all a weekend I would thoroughly recommend.
