Quite toddler friendly.
Overpriced, too many villas in comparison with the services on offer.
We went to Longleat Center Parc when our youngest was 4 months old and our toddler was nearly 2 years old. As the brochure describes the accommodation as a villa, I was expecting great things, particularly as you pay through the nose to stay there. We were disappointed therefore when our so-called villa actually looked like a toilet block. It wasn't too bad inside but once again, given how much you pay to stay there, it was no better than Butlins. Also, we stayed in a 2 bed comfort plus villa, which was 40 minutes walk from anything, it was a nightmare with 2 young children. There are land trains but they fill up very quickly, so if you don't get on then that's tough luck and you have to collapse your pushchairs to get on, so we would have had to get the baby out and woken him up etc. The 2 bed villas don't have a toilet in the bathroom, which is a real pain, it is out by the front door so if you need the loo in the night you have a long way to go. Having said all of this, we would go to Center Parcs again but would make sure we booked a villa right by the facilities and booked any activities in advance because you have no chance once you are already there. On our last night, we were going to have a curry delivered, we had virtually no food left as we were going home the next day. We phoned at half six to order, only to be told all delivery slots had gone and we could collect if we wanted. As both kids were in bed and we had already done the 40 minute walk 4 times that day, we declined! I don't think it is a baby friendly place really. Now that the boys are older, we would go again and take bikes, having said that though, each time I look I'm always put off by the cost and we have been to a Haven site or similar where we have had much better times for less money!
