When you arrive, there’s an instant sense of wonder at the sheer size of The Leaping Trout. So for any child who misses home, simply bring home with you: 32 berths equates to a lot of grannies, grandads and cousins – plus dogs.

The fun begins in the large gardens. You can play games on the lawn and the river frontage is a fascinating diversion. Older children can steep themselves in the six-person hot tub with massage jets and stay out late around the firepit. And everyone can eat out in the festoon-lit garden courtyard dining area.

Inside, grown-ups can chill in the restored bar, while kids tackle the vintage pub games. The lounge areas are good for air hockey, pool, table tennis and late-night board games. And Netflix takes on a whole new dimension when viewed in the 20-seat vintage cinema with red-velvet seating. Pour yourself some popcorn from the machine.

The cinema comes with a 65” smart TV and you’ll find another 40” in the private Duck lounge for alternative viewing. The Wi-Fi’s superfast for uploading to Insta. Spend evenings playing cards by the log fire, sing along with the Bluetooth, or relax reading a book. Kids have fun sleeping in bunks or atop the mezzanine up a ladder.
