Just been for a midweek break at Longleat.
Lovely place but it just wasn't me.
I had to cycle everywhere dragging the babies.
Sweating my bollocks off on holiday.....I don't think so.
If you like canoes, kayaks, absailing, tightrope walking, then it's a must.
I don't.
Mind you, the food is lush.
The Indian Restaurant on site is fantastic.
All other restaurants are top class and the Pancakes are to die for.
The pool is the best ever with an outside pool thats boiling!!
The water slides are top.
If I was to recommend...take kiddies over 6 coz they can do soooo much more stuff like horse riding etc.
Pad your ass so you don't get a hernia on the bikes.
Accomodation is very good and clean.
Break the bank and go to the Canaries every time!!
 
I went to the one in Elveden Forest last August and really enjoyed it. We took the dog so we didn't need a bicycle - although you could hire the ones with a little carriage on the back, but I couldn't imagine Barney staying in there if he saw another dog go past for instance. :blink:

As you say, Harry a real activity based holiday but for those of you that have children that like doing outside activities I think many would love this. We went with two families and their children and they enjoyed every minute of it. They played golf, went clay pigeon shooting, horse riding, swimming and played many indoor activities in the evening too . There were plenty of restaurants to choose from too. Our "chalet" was in the forest which meant a nice 20 minute walk either to buy the paper or visit the pancake shop. :)
 
I ride in the stables near Longleat, who also take the Center Parcs custom. I don't actually live anywhere near there but I like the area and they do Western riding as well.

Never been to Center Parcs though, my friends have but I'm too poor for holidays!
