This film shows a family on a summer break at a hotel. The family enjoy many activities including walks in the countryside, golf, cricket matches, swimming and rowing in the river. The film opens with the mother and daughter standing outside the car in the hotel car park. They are both smiling. The father jokes around with mother in the car park, and hills and woodland in the countryside are visible. The mother and daughter walk together along a country road lined with trees. In the side of a stone wall there is a large boulder with a plaque at the side. The two brothers and another boy play golf on the green at the bottom of the hotel. The daughter and another girl sit in sun loungers where they read books. The daughter, wearing a striped dress, tries to keep a straight face but keeps laughing. On a playing field surrounded by trees and buildings, several boys play a cricket match. A woman in a flowery dress sits on the bench outside the cricket hut (199). The players walk onto the pitch for the Darley Cricket Match. Substitutes for the match sit at the side of the pitch on a bench. The batter prepares himself for the first pitch of the match, and later, a substitute is brought into the game in exchange for another player. A man stands on the green watching the match and smoking a pipe. The two sons and the daughter swim in the river with their dog. The children help the dog get up the riverbank and then swim further out into the river. At Punton River, the two brothers climb into the dinghy at the side of the river. They push themselves away from the riverbank with their ores and paddle along the river. The boys paddle the dinghy towards the riverbank where the dog is walking. They then turn the dinghy around and paddle along the river. The dog walks in the shallow part of the river and near the trees, and the boys paddle closer to where the dog is standing in the river and drinking the water. One of the boys stands up in the river. He is dressed in his swimming costume. The other brother and sister are swimming in the middle of the river and race each other from one side to the other. The children climb out of the river and use towels to dry themselves off. One of the brothers stays on the riverbank to get dressed while the other brother and sister get back into the water for another swimming race. The dog stares out of the top window of the house which is covered with ivy. At the bottom of the garden, the three children and another girl play a game of cricket. The film closes with scenes of the two dogs which run around the garden.
