£3500 for centreparcs October half term!?

[imamearcat]

WTF!? Don't really like the place myself but thought we would check.. and you only get 4 slots in the pool at that!!

Insane prices!! Think I'm getting tight in my old age.

Tight!!my god the holiday I could get my family for that price!! A holiday abroad with gorgeous b and b etc

That's insane. We are doing (if covid sods off) 10 days in the Riviera next August for £1700. No way could I justify that for centre parcs

Presumably, people are willing to pay that.

More fool them!

Blimey that’s a lot! How big is your family?

that's out and out profiteering

We checked Friday - Monday during the Scottish October holidays earlier today and it was £1100! Absolutely fuck that.

Eeks. That's A LOT. I used to go before my DC went to school. Think I paid £400 in March (end of) for a 4 night stay in the executive Lodge. Plus £150 for added activities for them! I thought it was expensive back then. (2019)

For how many people/what size/grade of accommodation? There must only be v few spaces left.

We are going for 4 nights in half term and it is costing c £700. That was booked in May which is when we were originally supposed to be going though.

It is fairly expensive for what it is, but not £3,500 expensive usually I don't think!

Will you be buying the lodge for that?? Fuck, that's expensive. Bloody greedy gits.

I’ve travelled around the world loads. Every time I look at centerparcs for a change ... I end up booking another holiday abroad. Def I’m not spending that amount !

Wow! I paid less for a week skiing in a decent resort!
I'd thought Centre Parcs etc may be our new holiday style when DC arrives....not at that price! 😳

Sounds like large and top end accommodation. I've looked at Center Parcs for October half term in last few days and it was nothing like that price.

Gosh that is a week skiing for three in a fab resorts too. No way!

Looked at this a few weeks ago 4 days was 3.5k. No way we were paying that.

Center parks is evidently for people.with fuck all brains and full wallets.

OP I didn't believe you so I went on the website to check and you're right lol it is £3500.

thats just silly. I honestly think they just don't care if those particular lodges are let or not.

They are taking advantage of the fact that people are so desparate for a break and unable to go abroad. Honestly, is it really necessary to be THAT greedy?

As far as I can see it's all sold out. It wasn't this price a week ago.

I paid just over £500 for a week at PGL in the IoW in mid Aug. All accommodation (separate room for me and my son), meals and 4 activities a day.

People are mad.

They know that they're in prime position for holiday slots. Hence the price hike.
It's up to you to fall for their capitalisation.

It was 3 bed but just a basic lodge I think (I was DH who looked).

I've been before but not that much of a fan. Except the pool. Thing is you need to add on £100 for every crap meal they have their too.

I just think it's a bit naughty of them!

It's not naughty, don't be ridiculous. Either people will pay it, in which case it's a good business decision, or they won't, in which case they'll reduce the price until someone does decide to pay it. If it's not worth it to you, don't go.

Supply and demand, simple.

Go to CP in Belgium instead - much cheaper and also nicer and less crowded.
