...Whilst having a chat to a good friend of mine the subject of going on holiday arised and she suggested center parcs as she is a regular there every year. I wasn't too sure but thought i'd give it a go. The one we booked was Longleat village as this is the closest one to where we live.
I am writing this while it is still fresh in my memory as we only got back 3 days ago. Still wish we were there now!!!
Firstly i'll tell you lots of info about Longleat village.
Longleat Forest
Everything combines to make Longleat a simply stunning Village. The landscape is fantastic. Hundred-year-old Giant Redwoods tower above forest glades of every shade of green. An elevated boardwalk zig-zags through banks of azaleas to link the hilltop and the valley below. Scenic cycle paths give breathtaking views across the slopes and down to the lake...

...Center Parcs - Longleat
Taking a young family on holiday is a tricky business with a completely different set of requirements than when going away as a couple. Not least among these is the amount of baby paraphernalia that you need to take. When our youngest was about ten months we took her to New England and managed to get everything into a couple of suitcases and carry on luggage plus a pushchair but now we have two the amount of extra baggage seems to have more than just doubled and unless the destination is particularly child friendly the need for travel cots, gates etc makes the holiday load a bit much for airline travel.

Advantages: Great family holiday, perfect for kids, lovely natural setting, plenty to do Disadvantages: Lodges can be shabby, you will wear yourself out with all the activity!
...Center Parcs is a resort type holiday where the aim is to enjoy a family holiday in natural surroundings. Accommodation is in self catering units, although there are plenty of restaurants available. The holiday can be as relaxing or as active as each individual chooses. There are plenty of optional activities available for those that want to keep busy or expand their horizons. The basic cost of the holiday includes accommodation and you then pay for any additional pursuits you wish to engage in. The main attraction for most families is the natural setting and almost total absence of cars. Apart from the checking in days of Monday and Friday no cars are allowed. This makes for a very peaceful holiday where the main mode of transport is on foot, by bike or even in some cases on horseback!

With the Amazon vouchers I received over Xmas, I bought two books. "Brilliance of the moon" by Lian Hearn, and this one, "Exodus" by Julie Bertagna.
Shortlisted for the Whitebread award, I was not suprised when my eyes glued themselves to this book.... more
