FAMILIES have discovered a lesser-known resort with its own waterpark in the UK that they have described as being "more chilled" than places like Center Parcs. Finding a decent holiday spot to take the family can be difficult, especially during the busier months, but Finlake Resort in Devon might just be the best option. The holiday park has plenty to offer people of all ages for family holidays , with a spa and a heated pool with flumes and slides part of its many offerings.

It's also picked up several awards over the years, including a Visit England Gold Award, along with five star ratings in the Holiday & Touring Park and Holiday Park categories, also awarded by Visit England. For older kids and adults, things like axe throwing, laser tag and laser clay pigeon shooting are among the more high octane things people can get involved with. Meanwhile, sand art, junior crafts and a segway safari are more appropriate for the resort's younger visitors.

For parents visiting for a relaxing break, there are a number of spa treatments available on site in the Sirona Spa, including saunas, massages from fully-trained therapists and jacuzzis to help them unwind. Meanwhile, there's a fitness centre there too, offering classes from yoga to spin along with free-weights.

Haulfryn Holidays , who own the Finlake resort, have promised that their "traditional holistic therapies" will leave visit.
