The Mole Resort, North Devon

In the heart of the Devon countryside sits an Arts and Crafts manor house and 58 lodges with private hot tubs. Rolling hills and 125 acres of parkland provide the ideal setting for families (and their dogs). Dive into the indoor pool then try your hand at tennis, archery or pickleball. Book a bushcraft and survival course and learn to build shelters and make fires – essential skills come the apocalypse. A jam-packed itinerary is recommended to make the most of the facilities: a fully equipped gym, group fitness classes, a spa, games room and seemingly endless child-friendly courses. Then feast in one of three restaurants, or enjoy a DIY roast dinner kit delivered to your lodge for a cosy night in (themoleresort.co.uk, from £225 a night for a 2-bed lodge for 4 people).
