Cotswold Water Park

Will and Sally's verdict

Boasting Britain’s best sandy beach (not counting those at the coast), the Cotswold Water Park is awash with activities, from sailing, canoeing and cycling to angling and water skiing. It makes a great day out, but you really need to stay the night to fully appreciate all that this water wonderland offers. The Four Pillars Hotel has some of the best options for families.
