    I think this will our 8th visit. The kids absolutely love it and that means we love it too. And it doesn't really matter whereabouts on the complex you stay as staying in a different area each time makes the holiday a bit different. There's so much to do, the pool being the main draw. The accommodation is more than adequate and each time gets better - being in the woods is always great with the wildlife right on the doorstep. But to stay in the lodges would be to miss the point - you've got to get on your bike and do stuff. The restaurants are pretty good too - lots of choice. As far as value goes you can end up spending more than budgeted for if you eat out. We took the dog last time and I'm not sure I'd recommend that as there's not much freedom for them. The rangers are pretty hot on leads, which is fair enough. We live on a beach in Cornwall, the kids would be just as happy living at Centre Parcs- enough said really.

    The villa was basic but this was fine. It was quite clean, although it could have been cleaned a little more thoroughly.

    The staff were all friendly and helpful.

    We took 2 dogs but were extremely disappointed at the size of the dog exercise area. It was tiny, although perfectly clean. I wouldn't particularly recommend Centre Parcs as a place to take a dog.

    This Centre Parcs has a landtrain which runs every 20 minutes, like clockwork although sometimes it was completely full. ...

    Very disapointed. I was looking forward to this holiday for months and was expecting a pretty high standard considering the price we paid. Where do I start. The bedroom were damp and smelt of mildew. There seemed to be a good choice of resturant, however we struggled to find somewhere that served good food for a treat as most supplied fast foods standards.We had to pay extra for every activity and these don't come cheap ( we even had to pay to feed the fish). I'm not someone who complains at eve ...

    We have just returned from Centre Parcs in Longleat and have to say that we are extremely disappointed with the accomodation. We booked a basic 3 bedroom villa for myself, my husband and nine month old daughter.

    The villa was very dirty upon arrival. There were dog hairs all over the villa, everthing was sticky to touch (I assume due to grease) and the window sills looked like they had never been cleaned. There were cobwebs and dust everywhere. The bathroom smelled very badly of mould, as did ...

    Just had a great weekend at Centre Parcs, Longleat. A group of my friends and children were looking for somewhere to go to get together. Instead of a cottage we realised that 2 x 4 bed properties at Longleat was a better option. This proved much better value and meant that we could all do something we wanted in the day and then get together for meals in the evening. We requested 2 properties next to each oteher and stayed in "Pines" which was great as it didn't take too long to walk to the m ...

    I've been going to Center parcs practically every year of my life now, visiting either Longleat, Elveden and last year Sherwood. I've always loved it as me and my younger brothers (11 & 12 last year) had the freedom to go where ever we wanted when we wanted due to feeling very safe in there. People should not complain that they are too far away from the plaza - yes it is a big complex, but thats what bikes are for! The swimming pool and rapid are fantastic and offer entertainment for children AN ...

    Have been to Centre Parcs for several visits and although it is expensive overall it is fairly good value for money. The biggest problem this year seems to be that some of the cabin have been upgraded and others haven't as we stayed in the same area twice this year and although villas booked were the same standard one had been renovated and the other hadn't very dissapointed. Staff were not really interested as site was full, We were planning to book a stay at Easter and take our eldest daughte ...

    Over priced, cabin dirty with an odour of dampness,distance to plaza too far away, no trains run through the day on a monday until the evening. towels were provided on arrival and was expected to use them all week. you were requested to strip beds off prior to departure. all drinks and food was very expensive, I am unsure why the cost of the accommodation was as expensive as it was considering all the above facts.

    The staff were very nice and helpful, as for booking activities they were very ex ...

    i have been holidaying at center parcs for around 10 years and this year have opted for a weekend break with my gran children , on the first night we opted to eat in and cook ourselves the alarms went off as oven was dirty on further inspection of the villa , no light bulbs in a bedroom / bathrooms , curtain pole fell down

    I just came back from Longleat after staying there over the weekend. The executive 4 bedroom villa my family & friends stayed in was indeed very spacious, although the floors creeked like hell and the villa itself was in need of restoration. The televisions were also old. When I went to cook breakfast I found a lack of kitchen equipment

    The maid service was good & the cleaners done a good job.

    My biggest problem with Center Parcs is the overall costs. While you'll initially pay between &pou ...

    Center Parcs, Longleat Forest is clean and tidy but still very expensive making a killing due to the euro a lot of people staying in this country but as soon as things change people will start going back to spain ect as it will be cheaper and the sunshine.
    good holiday stayed in the firs area a long way from the main area.

    My first time at a Centre Parcs, Longleat Forest . I didn't know much about it beforehand as it was a break that I had no hand in organising.
    The 3 bed villa was clean and well equipped if a little far from the main centre.
    Setting in the Longleat pine forest is beautiful.
    Lots of activities to take part in.
    The Dining-In take-away was excellent value. Good food at great price.
    I do mean everything. They even charge 20 pence for food to feed the fish in the lake!!!
    This can cause the cost of th ...

    Aqua Sana very good value for money as always, though staff should remind guests not to talk, when in the rooms .Spoils the overall atmosphere. Flying saucers is excellent if the weather is poor, book a table for £5, as it gets busy. Items can be pricey ,but you are paying for the finished product, which is collected the following day after it is fired. There is a cafe also, so you can have a snack & drink while you are being creative.

    Stayed in Center Parcs for the weekend.24th-27th Ap ...

    My wife and i have taken our two boys to Center Parcs, Longleat for over 7 years. We have found it to be an amazing place with a safe and wonderful atmosphere. We love it so much we normally go twice ayear taking advantage of the early booking savings. The Plaza has an fantastic feel about it especially at night when all the low lighting is on. My children love to watch the huge fish in the various pools that mirander throughout this complex. The pool is great too. Despite the site being full yo ...

    Spent four days at CP Longleat. It IS expensive during school holidays but we really did feel we got our money's worth. Amazing variety of activities which do bump up the cost but many are unique. We did not overuse the time out club for our 5 year old but the two sessions he did, he absolutely loved. We paid for being in the central area and for the newer accommodation which must have been worth it as some of the reviews suggest a tattiness which we did not see. All bedrooms were ensuite with ...

    Stayed in 4 bed executive villa which was extremely poor and in need of renovation. Maid service which was supposed to be included in tariff was almost non-existent. Cigarette ends found on patio area, lipstick stains on wine glasses and all china, cutlery etc had to be washed prior to use. Villa was not cleaned during stay apart from the kitchen bin rubbish which was removed only once. Towels not changed and we were told we could collect fresh from customer services if we wanted. When comp ...

    Absolutely great holiday. We've got an 18mth old and I'm pregnant so we wanted to relax and make sure our little one had a fun time. He couldn't believe that there was a place that had a train, such a a great pool and so many play parks! He was in heaven and it made the holiday watching him enjoy it all. We loved it too, and made sure we each booked an activity too - I went to the spa for a mum-to-be treatment which I thoroughly enjoyed and my hubby went climbing. We ate out a lot and had t ...
