Hop-tu-Naa half term is approaching quicker than the grave, and are you looking for something hauntingly new and fun to do with your little terrors this year that doesn’t involve having to listen to them sing an extended version of Jinny the Witch at the front door of 46 different houses? If you answered yes, you and the family should check out the Comis Hotel & Golf Resort’s Hop-tu-Naa Hideaway.
‘What’s that?!’ I hear you shriek. ‘It sounds horrifyingly cool!’ You’re not wrong. It’s a family staycation package of spooktacular proportions. Whether you're a clan of ghouls or a bunch of spooky season enthusiasts, the Comis’ Hop-Tu-Naa Hideaway package has something for everyone.
There’s so much going on there’s no way you’ll end up taking an axe to a door like Jack Nicholson in The Shining due to a lack of activities. (It’s likely you’ll be expected to pay for the damage if you do).
Do your little mermaids like to swim? Dive into fun times in the hotel pool right after a round of Mini Golf Madness at the Comis’ haunted hideaway from Three Legs Golf. Exhausted those two? Wow, you weren’t lying when you said you’re a family that loves Hop-tu-Naa activities. Okay, next up, you can take your little gremlins to flex their competitive muscles with some mini basketball or experience a kid-friendly version of Jack Nicholson from The Shining (last time I’ll use that reference, probably) and do some inflatable axe throwing.
Are your kids not the competitive type or more creative souls? No problem. Not all corners contain terrifying monsters, the ones at The Comis are lovely and creative. In the Hop-tu-Naa Hideaway Creative Corner you can do family Pumpkin Carving and Monster Cupcake Decorating, perfect for all ages.
Well, after all that spooktacular fun you must have worked up quite an appetite. Lucky for you, The Comis is serving up a devilishly delicious dinner with a themed kids' menu for your little goblins to fill their gobs. Children under 12 eat free as long as adults order a minimum of two courses from the menu, and why wouldn’t you want to do that? Are you on a diet? Well, you shouldn’t be. You look fabulous. Get ordering those two courses. Do it for the kids.
Now that you’re nicely satiated, how about snuggling up for a cosy family cinema night? You all pop your Halloween-themed pjs on – the ones that make you look like you’re in a wholesome cult - and The Comis will pop a spooky film on and supply the popcorn.
The deal is available between October 28 and November 3, you’ll be able to check in from 2pm, and it’s £199.00 per night for a family of four (based on two adults and one or two children sharing a room), additional supplements apply for interconnecting rooms, children over the age of 12, and extra children. I think we can all agree it’s a bargain but even if it wasn’t, how can you put a price on your soul? Which will definitely be leaving your body if you hear one more extended rendition of Jinny the Witch.
