Centerparcs Ireland...how do you get there from the Midlands?

[Overseasmom100]

Just had a look at it but how on earth can u get there...could fly but nowhere near an airport. Ferry also nowhere near

It's just over an hour's drive from Dublin. Could you not get the ferry from Holyhead?

Fly to Dublin and hire a car or get the ferry and drive? It’s really not hard to figure out I live about 40 minutes away from it

*get the ferry and drive your own car

How do you get to any CentreParcs? None of them are city centre as far as I know.....

Drive i presume, get the appropriate ferry and carry on with the journey. You might have to pay a fortune to put bikes in the hold!
I have friends who go to Ireland regularly to see family and sometimes they'll stop this side of the ferry and get a very early one which will be cheaper.

Like others have said, ferry from Holyhead and then drive?

Or ferry to Belfast, and drive your own car it’s about 2 1/2 or 3 hours.

Two hour drive from Dublin.

You should ask them to move it closer to you.

It's not even 2 hours if there's no traffic.

Weird question- sure the Sherwood Forest Centre Parcs is 1hr away from the nearest airport, Longleat is 1hr 6mins from Southampton airport so Longford at 1hr 15mins from Dublin is hardly odd. I would imagine the number of people who fly to go to any Centre Parcs would be a minority- they're mainly catering to the local market who are driving so it makes sense to be in the midlands.

I thought the point of Centre Parcs (I hear from my English DH and friends, anyway) is that it's all self contained and they're fairly standard so you know what to expect. Why incur the travel costs to Ireland if there's one you could drive to?

I'm not sure why you would? Wouldn't one in the midlands make more sense?

You're unlikely to find a quiet forest in a city, beside an airport. The whole appeal of centre parks is the rural location. You're being silly.

A centreparcs just off the m50 wouldn't have the same sense of peace and quiet would it really?

Fly into Belfast or Dublin.
Car Ferry into Belfast, Rosslare or Dublin Port.

Google maps will lead you to it from your location. Check their website for a 'how to get here' tab.

It’s Longford OP, not Middle Earth

Center Parcs? Peace and quiet? Ha! They are like shopping malls with trees.

I looked into this as I have family just outside Dublin and thought it might be a nice break. The Irish response to the price is hilarious, check out the facebook page for a laugh.

Ferry is more flexible. And Centre Parcs has done a special deal with Irish Ferries so you can get 25% off. The ferry fare I mean.
