Centerparcs Longleat

Centerparcs is a wonderful place for all the family with activities for all ages. The wildlife is amazing and being surrounded by trees and nature is so relaxing. Once two deer came right up to our window it was so cool. Some of my favorite features are the Rapids and an adrenaline course in the trees! There are some great restaurants Strada and Hucks Diner were some of our favorites. If you have children then I recommend you should pop down to the toy shop, bowling alley, swimming center, sweet shop, arcade, and the sports bar.

We stayed here in a wet and windy April last year. But even the weather didn’t stop it being a pleasant break.
We stayed in the newly refurbished executive accomodation which was very nicely decorated and had all the conveniences of being at home, but with a maid service (well worth it).
The swimming facilities were excellent, and the kids loved it and loved floating around with the safety float vests that are provided.
The restaurants are a little overpriced and only average quality, but you can always self cater.
Other activities and facilities are not cheap, but the best thing about centerparcs is riding around the forest on bikes and enjoying the peace and quiet of not seeing too many cars.

Of the four Center Parcs villages in the UK, my family and I think Longleat is the prettiest by far.
Although we’ve been here at all different times of the year, we love coming here in the winter because after dark is when the place really looks its best — the path lights twinkle through the trees and the plaza dome looks like something from outer space!
Swimming outside in warm water or heading down the rapids when it’s dark and freezing cold is surreal, and even just watching is amazing — the steam rising off the water into the crisp winter air is magical.
The only thing that stops me from giving this place five stars is the price — it’s not the cheapest holiday, especially when you factor in eating out, activities and all the shops that you have to get the kids past on the way to and from the swimming pool!

been several times great way to spend a break

We had a wonderful stay at Centerparcs in early November. Although the weather was bad it doesn’t seem to matter at Centerparcs, there’s always plenty to do.
The restaurants were fantastic (apart from Huck’s, the food was cold here), with Strada being a particular favourite.
Being just the two of us we spent some time in the spa, which although expensive, was very relaxing and got us into the holiday mood.
We stayed in a Woodland lodge and I belive it is worth paying the little bit extra for this, they are much better than the comfort lodges.
