Legal Lifestyle Lucknam Park Hotel And Spa, Wiltshire 96 WWW.LAWYER-MONTHLY.COM | OCT 2019 WHAT CAN KIDS DO? Lucknam Park genuinely enjoy having children around and they aren’t shy with letting you know; with an array of things on offer for your young ones, there is little time for them to get bored! There are an excellent variety of activities and treats which make brilliant use of the grounds, keeping families and the little ones exercised, energised and entertained. With 35 horses of all sizes and capabilities, the Equestrian Centre is a must-see and a ‘riding session’ creates an idyllic country memory whereby children could take a gentle trot around the local woodlands guided by a member of the centre. Horse riding lessons are also popular, as well as longer rides available through the Cotswolds countryside for more experienced riders. We also found the converted cottage known as the Hideaway filled with toys and activities where you can spend indoors time with babies and toddlers. Moreover, with a cookery school on site, little chefs can stick on an apron and learn how to make some scrumptious, yummy treats! With a selection of bicycles on the estate for old and young to use at their leisure, the vast grounds can be happily explored and no one is worried about ‘walking on the grass’...in fact it is encouraged; you can let the afternoon pass by relaxing on the grass, having a picnic enjoying the snacks you previously made, with your children running in the open green space, and most importantly, in a clear eyeshot! If you want the little ones to feel more spoilt, a chef will happily offer a tailored picnic meal, including a bespoke menu with mini sandwiches and little desserts; it was certainly one of the best picnics we have ever had! With wellies available for long walks and an outdoor play area designed to keep kids busy - Lucknam Park is a welcome gift for parents with active, never tiring children. And as all parents know, mealtime can be taxing! However, Lucknam make it as easy as possible- the restaurant welcomes kids over the age of five years and has a reduced menu for young diners with dishes that won’t disappoint. BOOK THE HOTEL NANNY! Music to every parent’s ears is the The Hotel Nanny- a Mary Poppins experience allowing you to enjoy some downtime at Lucknam Park. Working with a range of hotels across the UK including Lucknam Park, The Hotel Nanny service was created by a high-flying busy parent for other like-minded parents. We were given a photo and background to the nanny arriving for the night as well as being able to give a briefing in advance so the nanny could prepare any toys, activities and routines in advance. The nanny came in and confidently took care of the kids, whilst a massage and dinner could be enjoyed in peace-buying this ‘time’ is a treat you need to give yourselves! https://www.thehotelnanny.co.uk/ 0330 355 4560
