We have stayed at blue stone many many times. We have taken friends and family with us and have all enjoyed each time. The weather has been good and sometimes not so good but there is a variety of entertainment to suit all ages even if you stay in your accommodation to relax. All accommodation have a TV and Video player and WyFi connection. The rooms are very spacious and fully equipt even the kitchen. The lodges are very clean and family friendly. Some of the accommodations we have stayed in need new beds and a fresh make over to compliment the standard of the new loges which are superbly tasteful. We have recommended Blue Stone to all our friends and family and most of them are now Liberty members. The Eadvantage of booking everything you purchase against your accommodation is a great idea there is no need to carry any money around with you. The staff are all very friendly and helpful at all times they even know us now on first name terms but they always treat all guests with the same friendly and helpful greeting. We love our time at Blue Stone we find it relaxing after a full busy week at work. Our grandchildren love coming to stay with us every time . The Elves at Christmas time is wonderful and very professionally done not to be missed. Father Christmas last year was magical our grandchildren were taken in by his presence and friendliness he was the real Santa according to them even the 10year old. The food in Carrreg Las is very tastefully cooked and well presented not to be missed they accommodate all the family. The management and staff are always cheerful with a friendly smile and service. Other food outlets are family friendly with a choice to accommodate all ages even the take away menu with free delivery to your accommodation. The tavern has a very friendly and inviting atmosphere and a lovely log fire in the winter they also have a very good bar meal choice with live entertainment and quiz evenings.

Being a CP regular I was a little nervous about our stay at Bluestone. However, I am delighted to say it was wonderful. The lodge was super, much better equipped that CP and lots of space. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was good and reasonably priced.
Our group included children aged between 1 and 13 yrs and the activity centre and pool provided something to keep them all amused.
There are not a lot of activities on site but with Oakwood 2 mins away and lots of other things near by it wasn't difficult to find something to do.
The site was very quiet and there was plenty of space in the play are to watch the kids. I would definately recommend hiring a golf buggy as that hill can get tiring for little legs!

Overall I would highly recommend Bluestone. Our experience was that it was cheaper, quieter, friendier and better equipped and will definately be going again!

I think Bluestone is an amazing place to go. It will be our second time going in a week. The bar is good the food is good the shops are good !!! I personally LOVE Bluestone..... but the only two things that put me off was that the beds were a bit uncomfortable and my bike chain broke twice.... other than that i say i was sad to leave !!

Had a fantastic time, lodge was clean and so was the site. Our children range from 2 to 13yr of age, the youngest had the freedom of the adventure center which was extra but well worth the money. My oldest and husband loved the steep riveen again was extra! But a wonderful experience with polite staff there to ensure their safety. The atmosphre of the whole weekend was relaxing and fun packed, apart from the Bluelagooon which was to over crowded on our second visit, but it was Sunday of August bank holiday, this has not but us off as we have booked to go again before xmas!

We have just returned from a 4 day break to Bluestone. The accomodation and facilities were excellent. The Smithy restaurant make the best pizza ever but be warned they are massive. We stayed in a 1 bed cottage which was cosy and spacious. As Arnie says "I'll be back"

I have just spent my first weekend at Bluestone with three girlfriends and I can't wait to go back! We opted for a spa weekend package (excellent value at £99) and had a fabulous time. Every single member of staff we saw went out of their way to be friendly and helpful and made us feel truly special. We didn't find a single "rule" that they were not prepared to bend to accomodate us!

The therapists, though very busy and working long days, were cheerful and friendly - and very good! Having been to Centre Parcs several times before, we were thrilled to find a very quiet spa where we were often the only people in the steam room.

Treatments were no more expensive than anywhere else (spa entry is free if you have a treatment, or £15 for a full day pass - whereas Centre Parcs (at last visit) was £35 for three hours). Though, as a previous reviewer says, availability did seem a bit limited, so perhaps more staff are required?

We had Sunday lunch in the Granary yesterday and it was absolutely delicious - and plenty of it! Prices seemed quite reasonable to me, but then, I am used to Bristol prices - and don't have to feed a family.

I am amazed at the number of negative comments about the layout (particularly hillyness) of the park and the fact that the pool is "a long way away". Utter rubbish! Have these people never been the Centre Parcs?! I am the most unfit person ever, but it was only a 10 minute walk from our accommodation in the centre of the village to the pool. We were there on Saturday lunchtime and it was very quiet and pleasant.

We had a brilliant time and will all, without doubt, be going back. Soon!

Just returned from my second visit to Bluestone and am heading back again in a few weeks! The first time was a week's break with two very small children, the second was an overnight stay with some girlfriends. I cannot fault the place. Staff were unbelievably nice and helpful; food was lovely and I didn't think overpriced, accomodation was very spacious and of a high standard; spa was wonderful. I'm staggered at some of the negative comments for other guests - they can't have been to the vastly inferior centre parcs! the location is fabulous for trips to the back etc and there is lots to do. As for comlianing about a short walk up a hill to get to the pool...words fail me.

Have just returned from a 4 day midweek break, and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay.I really cant fault the place. The accomodation was very spacious, with everything catered for.The swimming pool was amazing ( even the water turned green for St Patricks day !!).We ate at the Smithies and the tavern a few times, and first thought was a little on the expensive side, but you got what you paid for, delicious food...the welsh breakfast was amazing !..All the staff were very pleasant and helpful.Some previous comments go on about the hills etc at the park....they really werent a problem...good to get a little exercise, plus you could hire golf carts should you need to.All in all....cant wait to go back.

we had a lovely time at Bluestone we had a three night weekend break we hired a buggy to get around
Blue Lagoon was great for the children with the wave machines also the numerous slides Friday night dj also Saturday night calypso also the activites were catered for the children a happy child a happy parent
There was activities for the adults also catered for the sports people who could watch the sport in the bar where you could eat cream teas to a meal of food children were also allowed in the bars supervised overall i thought it was value for money. Sunday lunch was lovely in the Grannary

If you want to steer clear of the usual theme bars, load entertainment and bright lights then this could be for you.
Accomodation is 1st class, Blue lagoon (swimming / leisure pool) is excellent, surrounding area has breath taking scenery and the best beaches in Britain. Staff very friendly and best of all you are left to your own devices - if you want to book facilities and activities you can, if you just want some peace and quiet then thats what you get.
The only negative would be that one or two cars were left on site when it clearly states that without a special badge they should be removed.
Not recommended for OAPs unless fit and/or with family - golf carts available for hire to get you around.

Just returned from a wonderful midweek break with my husband and my 3 year old son. We found the accomodation fantastic, people very friendly and superb value for money.(We booked 1 week before).
I would definately recommend Bluestones, Wales for all thoughs outdoor types, who don`t mind cycling or walking no matter what the weather. The restaurants were to a very high standard, however some were closed whilst we were there which limited our choice.
A couple of mistakes were made when making bookings for activities for my son, which ment we missed one, and had to re-arrange another. Be sure to double check the time and dates!
However this did not detract from what was a brilliant holiday!

We stayed for 4 nights mid week during Bluestones Halloween week. Our accommodation was exactly as described, a spacious two bedroom cabin (Caldey) with views over woodland to the rear and across the beautiful valley to the front. The kitchen was well fitted with dishwasher and extensive utensils. They even supplied dishwasher tablets, just one of the little attentions to details we weren't expecting. One double and a good size single bedroom, all nicely fitted out. Yes, the wet room took a little getting use to, but we were not there to stay in our cabin - there was far too much to cram in.

Our best investment was to hire a golf buggy to get around. The valley is quite hilly. This fun mode of transport made getting around quick and easy. We would not have got to all the children's activities on time with out it. Plus the children loved it.

Eating out was good and whilst not cheap, the quality and choice was to a high standard. We dined in three of the four eateries where all the staff were friendly and keen to please.

Bluestone made a big effort for Halloween. There was a spooky film night, Halloween party with pumpkin making all ending with a parade around the lake with The Grand Wizard.

Most of the Children's events were extra, but we were on holiday and were looking to make the most of our stay. We were impressed with the simple supervised treks in the woods with the children; bug hunting, making a fire and toasting marsh mellows etc. We also booked the Battlefield Live. Paint balling in the woods but without the paint This was great fun if not a little muddy.

Most of the staff were young and were a credit to the management who had obviously trained them well.

A short trip to the spa was a welcome and relaxing break. The contrast from all the running around to the tranquillity of the treatment rooms was just what the grownups needed. Again the staff were focused on making our stay an enjoyable one.

The Blue Lagoon and sports hall were away from the accommodation, which is where the buggy came in helpful. Every thing was clean and well maintained bearing in mind the amount of through traffic they must have.

The only down side was that the Blue Lagoon was open to the public as well as guests of Bluestone making it at times a little busy. This however did not spoil our enjoyment of the facilities.

We all enjoyed our stay and will defiantly try and fit in another visit sometime next year. Well recommended.

Fantastic stay. We stayed at Calday lodge by a lake. We went with some friends. The swimming pool was brill. It had three water slides, rapids and a wave machine. On Friday night you could go down on the outdoor slide on rubber rings and they had a Caribean night and a beach party. There was activities on site that were excellent. Archery we had a go at. It was a bit expensive but still had a good time. They had aser clay shooting a driving range. Theme park next door. Not that noisy and it was quite soothing or it would have been too quiet. There was buggy hire and bike hire. We hired bikes and they were really good. Bluestone was good value for money. Room could have done with a bit more clean but overall excellent.

Bluestone had luxury accomodation that was extremely clean. Essentials were supplied, shower gels, washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs etc. Golf buggies for hire it you prefer not to walk, also free buses are provided to take you to car park and pool.
Village shop and bakery prices were reasonable as were the restaurants in The Yard.
