In a nutshell
"Centerparcs has everything every child or adult could wish for." "Every hobby/interest is catered for and children can be left for long periods at a nominal cost while the adults have a rest." "Wonderful water complex with something for even the tiniest child, excellent-looking crèche and huge selection of indoor and outdoor play areas." "Apart from the rather ordinary food, this is a super place to take kids of all ages." An added bonus is that there are "no cars on site." But be "prepared for the high cost of the extra activities." Nevertheless most thought it perfect for: "an easy-going, relaxed and stress-free break."
Mumsnet tip: "Prices vary widely throughout the year and many times there are special offers, be sure to check keep an eye out for special deals."
