Thinking of going to centre parcs soon with the wife and kids. One's 9 and ones 2. Just wandered whats its like, seems a bit pricey but is it worth it?? It's the one in Cumbria aswell. Thanks for any opionions.

Its not cheap i know that much, but i really enjoyed it when i was a nipper!

Great if you and the family enjoy swimming, because there is a lot to do in the swimming area, slides, waves, lazy areas, normal pools, steam rooms, cold baths, kids stuff with fountains, small slides, floats, toys, etc...loads of stuff..

I'm sure it can only have got better over the years!

My wife works at the Longleat one and we get free entry to all the facilities.

At least she has a use after 15 years of marriage

Not a bad place but you must be minted to go and also like walking !

Way too sporty for me - wife is mad on all kinds and it was like archery, swim, badminton, lunch, cycle, golf, tennis, dinner, ten-pin, video, early night - every day for 4 days!!!

I needed a holiday after I escaped back home!

Did enjoy being spoiled in the spa though (does that make ME sound girly?)

Rippers

Aqua Sauna rocked.. well relaxing

Been twice now to longleat..
Not enjoyed them at all..Its alot of money for the apartment then you have to pay for everything else..Swimming is free tho in the plaza.

Last time i went the apartment was shocking! taps leaking in kitching. ceiling leaking water down to the back of the tv etc..
And that was a £475 apartment.We got £90 off our next booking

been to longleat a couple of times, personally i enjoyed it, but i would agree that it isnt the best of places for toddlers

I done things like the water rafting and the sialing thing, massive sports complex, tennis squash, bar, pool tables its really cool....


even done some line-dancing

the swimming pool, slides, rapids and everything were awesome
nice to wake up with a deer in the back garden as well

but it is rather expensive but i didnt care because i was with a uncle that is rich
