<p>Who needs the Caribbean when you have the <a href="https://www.exclusive.co.uk/royal-berkshire/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Royal Berkshire</a>? Pffft, not us. Round up the troupe and wind your way through Ascot to this rural country house hotel that feels like a home away from home (well, a much tidier version the kids have yet to torpedo apart that is). </p>



<p>With heaps of merriment lined up for summer, including a no-brainer family package with <a href="https://www.exclusive.co.uk/royal-berkshire/packages/jaques-play-stay/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jaques of London</a>, I&#8217;m pre-warning you now, you won&#8217;t want to leave. Think whimsical afternoon teas for the little and large, garden games, and ice creams from the outdoor horse box. Oh, and LEGOLAND Windsor is practically on the doorstep. In case you needed any more convincing, here&#8217;s why we&#8217;re spending the holidays at this rural thrill magnet.</p>

<p>Breathe, lady. A haven for weary parents to get five minutes of peace awaits. Fun factor is turned up to max over the summer with plenty to stave away the dreaded, &#8220;I&#8217;m bored&#8221; spiel. Out they go for garden games such as Jenga and Snakes and Ladders, plus frisbee golf or tennis. With 15 glorious acres to stomp around, hide and seek just got a rather roomy upgrade. Grab a map from reception and take off on the woodland trail with various seasonal themes that should help them put one foot in front of the other. </p>

<p>In case the sun is feeling particularly shy, you&#8217;ll find a box of games at reception&nbsp;which you&#8217;re welcome to take into the bar or up to your room. The most exciting thing though, is that to make things a little more simple, Royal Berkshire have come up with the ultimate family package this August which honestly sounds like an absolute sanity saver.</p>

<p>The undoubtedly fierce competition on the lawns is hungry work. And just because the kids are in tow, doesn&#8217;t mean you have to scrimp on the finer things in life. Royal Berkshire&#8217;s <a href="https://www.exclusive.co.uk/royal-berkshire/dine/afternoon-tea/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">afternoon teas</a> are stuff of legend, and they have the perfect version for mini mouths too. Think simple sarnies, marshmallows, popcorn, brownies, ice cream, and scones. They may be bouncing off the walls after, but the 15-acres of wilderness should help make burn out imminent. Afternoon Tea is served daily, either on the terrace, Polo Bar, or restaurant. </p>



<p>Not to worry, the adult version is a little more refined. It&#8217;s patisserie perfection with Bailey&#8217;s tart, Passion fruit chocolate madeleine, and warm scones with lashings of clotted cream. Yum.</p>

<p>No judgement if you&#8217;re happy to survive on finger sarnies and scones for the duration of your stay. But the onsite <a href="https://www.exclusive.co.uk/fork/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fork Restaurant</a> is the place to be if you&#8217;re seeking something a little more substantial and savoury. Family-friendly and with stonking views over the landscaped gardens, feast on an all-day menu of tapas-style snacks, a range of tempting starters, and lots of lovely mains. Plenty to keep even the fussiest of eaters happy. For kids, there&#8217;s margarita pizza or tomato pasta, but for those with a more refined palate, enjoy dishes like Severn and Wye smoked salmon and breaded lemon sole.</p>
