Why Bainland is the Perfect Luxury Family Staycation
Finding a family holiday that can keep everyone happy can feel like an impossible feat. Adults want to relax in comfort with a little indulgence, while children want excitement, adventure and plenty to do. Add grandparents, teenagers, dogs, or extended family into the mix, and finding the perfect destination becomes even harder!
That’s exactly why at Bainland, we have become one of the UK’s most sought-after luxury family staycations.
Positioned within 45 acres of beautiful Lincolnshire countryside, we offer the comfort of a luxury lodge retreat with the thrill of a family resort, with lodges accommodating up to 24 guests! Here, mornings begin with birdsong and coffee on your private terrace, afternoons can be spent enjoying family adventures, while evenings can end in your private, bubbling hot tub beneath star-filled skies.
Whether you’re planning a luxury family weekend break, a multi-generational holiday, a special celebration, or simply looking for quality time together as a family, discover the perfect balance of relaxation, entertainment, and memorable experiences.
Spacious Luxury Accommodation for Families
The foundation of every great family holiday is having enough space to truly unwind.
At Bainland, families can choose from a collection of beautifully designed luxury lodges, lakeside retreats and spacious family villas sleeping anywhere from two to 24 guests.
Unlike cramped hotel rooms, every retreat has been designed to give families room to spread out and enjoy time together. Open-plan living spaces create the perfect setting for creating family meals, playing board games and spending movie nights together, while luxurious bedrooms ensure everyone enjoys a restful night’s sleep. Expect super king beds for adults, comfortable twin rooms, and bunk beds that children will immediately claim as their own.
Our interiors perfectly blend countryside charm with modern luxury. From roaring log-burning stoves to stylish furnishings, kitchens complete with Le Creuset cookware, and floor-to-ceiling views of the surrounding woodland and lakes.
Outside, the experience becomes even more special. Every retreat includes a private outdoor hot tub and enclosed outdoor space, while selected villas feature private swimming pools, creating the ultimate luxury family holiday experience.
At Bainland, our family holidays really include every member of the family – dogs and cats alike!
Pets are welcomed with their own arrival packs, while pet-friendly facilities ensure four-legged guests feel just as comfortable as their owners throughout their stay.
All our lodges feature enclosed outdoor areas, providing a safe space for dogs to explore and owners to relax with peace of mind. After countryside adventures, the dog wash station near reception makes cleaning muddy paws quick and easy.
While dogs can scamper and make the most of the great outdoors, feline guests can settle into the comfort of lodge life, stretching out on cosy cushions, claiming the sunniest spots by the window and enjoying a peaceful retreat alongside their owners.
Dogs are also welcome at The Nest, where they can enjoy a menu of their own. For energetic companions, the on-site agility course also offers endless entertainment, complete with jumps, tunnels and obstacles!
With nearby woodland walks, dog-friendly beaches and pet-friendly luxury accommodation designed for the whole family, we have earned our reputation as one of the UK’s leading pet-friendly luxury lodge retreats.
Luxury for Adults
One of the reasons we stand out among luxury family holidays in Lincolnshire is our ability to create genuine relaxation for adults. While the children are exploring, parents can enjoy moments of calm that are often missing from everyday life.
From morning coffee on the terrace to evenings gathered around a fire pit with a glass of wine, every part of the retreat has been designed to help guests slow down and reconnect. Sink into your secluded hot tub after a day of outdoor family activities. The children are tired from a day of fun, dinner is all sorted, and all that’s left to do is watch the stars emerge above the Lincolnshire countryside.
Discover a Wellness Experience
Our wellness facilities offer the perfect opportunity to recharge. Take a dip in the indoor heated swimming pool and immerse yourself in all we have to offer. Featuring therapeutic Vitality Jets, the pool delivers a gentle massage experience that helps soothe tired muscles and encourage relaxation.
The adjoining Thermal Wet Spa also furthers the experience. Guests can enjoy the Himalayan Salt Sauna, steam room and sensory shower, all designed to promote complete wellbeing. For those who simply want to switch off, our heated loungers offer a tranquil space to unwind while other family members enjoy the pool.
Fitness enthusiasts needn’t miss a workout either. Our new state-of-the-art gym features premium TechnoGym equipment, cardio machines, free weights and virtual trainers, allowing our guests to maintain their fitness routine while enjoying a tranquil escape. Looking to maintain your running momentum on the treadmill, improve your techniques or use the bike? Guests can become immersed in their favourite Netflix shows and Spotify playlists and maintain momentum!
Spa Treatments That Let You Truly Switch Off
Sometimes the greatest luxury is having nowhere to be.
Bainland’s treatment rooms have been created with exactly this philosophy in mind.
Whether you choose a nourishing facial, a soothing full-body massage or a restorative treatment, the experience doesn’t end when your appointment finishes. Instead of rushing back, you can simply wander back to your lodge, slip into your hot tub, relax on your terrace and allow that feeling of calm to stay with you.
Exciting new additions are also coming to The Spa, including additional treatment rooms, poolside relaxation spaces, hot tubs, sun loungers and ice bath experiences, making future luxury spa breaks even more indulgent!
Kids Are Never Bored Here
One of the greatest challenges of any family staycation is keeping everyone entertained. Fortunately, boredom is rarely an option here! Our exceptional range of activities and adventures is available for all ages!
For younger guests, the fun begins at our natural Adventure Play Area. Featuring zip lines, slides, climbing frames, swings, balance trails and timber play features, it provides endless opportunities for outdoor exploration and imaginative play! Conveniently located beside The Nest restaurant, all parents can relax over coffee or lunch while keeping a watchful eye on little wanderers.
When it’s time to head indoors on rainy days, the Games Lounge at The Nest offers entertainment for the whole family. Challenge each other to interactive darts or American pool, enjoy the nostalgia of retro arcade games, or catch live sporting action in a family-friendly setting where children, teenagers and adults can all join in the fun.
Older children and teenagers can also get involved with several instructor-led activities, from archery and a friendly match on our tennis and badminton courts, to the great outdoors. Those seeking even more excitement can take the wheel of a Mini Land Rover and experience the thrill of driving their own vehicle, tackle off-road terrain aboard a Crazi-Bugz buggy, or explore our stunning 45-acre estate on a guided Segway tour.
Nearby, the climbing wall offers a rewarding challenge for adventurous guests, while street karting brings out the competitive spirit as families race head-to-head around the track.
From outdoor adventures to simple moments spent exploring nature, every experience is designed to create a family escape filled with fun, laughter and lasting memories.
Explore the Beautiful Lincolnshire Countryside
Luxury doesn’t always mean doing more. Sometimes it solely means having the freedom to slow down and enjoy your surroundings. At the heart of Woodhall Spa, we provide the perfect base for exploring Lincolnshire’s beautiful countryside.
Wake up to wildlife on the lake, enjoy peaceful woodland walks directly from your lodge, or hire bikes and discover scenic local trails. Families can choose from standard bicycles, electric bikes, children’s bikes and even toddler trailers, ensuring everyone can join the adventure!
Tennis and badminton courts are also available throughout your stay, offering complimentary opportunities for family tournaments and outdoor fun.
Looking to leave the resort? Just a short drive away, the charming village of Woodhall Spa offers boutique shopping, local attractions and the famous Kinema in the Woods, creating even more opportunities for wonderful family days out.
Exceptional Food and Drink Without Leaving the Estate
Great holidays deserve great food.
The Nest is the beating heart of the retreat, offering breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between in a stylish yet welcoming environment. Start your day with refreshing smoothies packed with berries or tropical fruits, and pair this with locally sourced prepared breakfasts. From a traditional full English that sets you up for the day, to creamy breakfast bowls, delicious buttermilk pancakes or crispy breakfast sandwiches, there is something for everyone. Staying with us for lunch? Enjoy pub classics, fresh salads, delicious bloomer sandwiches full of your favourite fillings or sharer plates on the terrace overlooking the play area.
For those looking for delicious dinners, indulgent desserts and expertly crafted cocktails, we are known for our delicious grazing sharer boards for all the family to enjoy. From our charcuterie platter to our mezze platter filled with colour, there is something for everyone. On Sundays, the fantastic two-or three-course roast dinners are also not to be missed.
Children are equally well catered for. From light bites and snacks, juicy burgers, tender chicken strips, to creamy mac and cheese, our menus are designed to satisfy even the fussiest eaters.
Relaxed Dining Made Easy
Don’t fancy leaving your lodge? Our in-lodge delivery restaurant service makes family dining effortless. Guests can simply download our Copper Goose app and order breakfast rolls, pizzas, burgers, nachos, children’s meals, coffees, drinks and more, all delivered directly to the lodge. Alternatively, our grazing boards also provide a wonderful option for sharing, or on sunny days, the al fresco BBQ is always a firm favourite!
It’s the perfect way to enjoy your meals while staying cosy in your lodge.
