I have been to Oasis near Penrith 4 times now and have had a really enjoyed it each time.
At first you wonder how on earth you will find your way around and more importantly how you will find the way back to your lodge as they all look the same! In no time, however, you find yourself zipping around on one of the hired bikes watching those that have just arrived looking slightly lost.
The lodges are comfortable, and have a log fire for those hot winter evenings or alternatively a bbq for those hot summer evenings. The cooking facilities are what you would expect for a self catering lodge. There are plenty of places to eat out as well as a supermarket on sight, however if you are wanting to cut down on costs then I would recommend taking your own food with you rather than buying it on the on sight supermarket.
You can end up spending a lot of money as there are so many different activities to do and you find yourself trying to cram everything in to a few days. However if you are on a budget, there is the swimming pool which is free and open all day and into the evening. There are lots of slides, a wave machine, rapids and a childrens area as well as lots of seating areas so it is easy to spend a whole afternoon just at the pool.
Most people hire the bikes which are a great way to get from A to B but also a fun and cheap way to enjoy yourself, cycling around on the various tracks.
I would definately recommend it to people of all ages.
Quite a good Review , but I think that it needs a lot more information and detail to justify a higher rating, things such as cost, quality of food, what are the staff like, is it good value etc.. You might find it helpful if you read and rate some other peoples’ reviews that have been rated VH or E. It might give you an idea of the sort of things you need to include. It might also be helpful if you had a look at the Ciao guides to writing Reviews and Rating I found them really useful. If I can be of any help feel free to put a note in my gb. Rich
