Description Ogre's Retreat: Orlando

Kids who sleep in an enchanted forest bedroom rarely want to leave – and with a screened pool terrace, a putting green, and barbecue outside, the grown-ups won't be in any hurry either. The living and dining space handles big groups comfortably, with seating for eight at a statement table and a wide sofa in front of the screen for slower evenings. Set within an 80-acre resort next door to Universal Orlando and Epic Universe, you'll also have access to the on-site water park, golf swing suite, and sports courts. Plus, there's a daily shuttle to Disney World and Universal Orlando.

Home truths:
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, sports courts, playground, fitness centre and water park here. They're shared with the resort's other guests.
* The kitchen and bathrooms are stocked with starter essentials to get you going on arrival.
* Your host offers free round-trip shuttle services to Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World. You'll need to reserve seats in advance – speak with your host for more information.
