Would you go to centre parcs this December?

Yes, we are due to go for winter wonderland mid December hoping we still get to go.
We are happy to get away as a family and do plenty of woodland walks and outdoor activities with games in our lodge in the evenings 😊

No but I bloody loathe the place anyway

I would probably not go to centre parcs at any time as it seems expensive compared to other accomodation.that being said I would be cautious about booking any sort of holiday or break at the moment , when even if they dont extend the lockdown,i imagine there will be restrictions in place.

No but only because I m sick of stuff being cancelled and being disappointed, I don’t think December plans will go ahead now but that is just my opinion, I think we will be under restrictions until spring. Our center parcs (sherwood Forest) closed as soon as we went to tier 3. From a safety/fun point of view I would go though!

I wouldn't. DH has type 1 diabetes and we are being very cautious. However, a friend just got back today from Whinfell Forest today and had a fabulous holiday. It depends how risk averse you are.

Hmm, only if I'd already paid and couldn't get the money back. It's a bit too nippy to only do the outside stuff and I dont know how keen I'd be on the pool bit.
Plus, do people not just find it overpriced and overrated?

No, it’s expensive and a breeding place for germs.

It's like going on a self-catering holiday but with the added fun of crowds, bossy rules, terrible parking, chain restaurants and paying a fortune for a glorified static caravan.

YES! I was booked this month. I wish I could go next month. Was so looking forward to it.

No I don't think so, unnecessary risk imo

No. I'm not concerned about the virus but the main reason we go is the swimming plaza and you're limited to two, 2 hour sessions, for the whole of your break which is pretty crap to be honest.
Maybe if they heavily discounted to make up for this, or offered other activities at a discount, but I doubt it

Yes I would.
We went last week and had a great time. Activities were less busy than usual, as was the pool.
It was extremely well organised and clean.
We didn't eat out there though and instead took a Gusto / Hello Fresh type box with us with easy to make meals.

We are supposed to be going in January. Not sure if it will go ahead now, or if we want to go anymore.

We are booked to go in December (if it reopens) we won't risk the pool though.

Nope. Bloody ridiculous price and only 2 x 2hrs in the pool. Waste of money

No.

From what I've heard it's not Center Parcs as we know it anyway. I can't imagine no activities and only being allowed to swim for a maximum of 2 hours twice in a week!!

There's also that whole issue of doing the right thing and staying at home, OP.

I’m sure the OP will do the ‘right thing’ while we are in lockdown. Once things have reopened, why is not going to them ‘doing the right thing’?

No because it will probably be shut

Well no, if I did then I wouldn’t have gone back after the first time.

I would go on holiday, but not CP as you pay a premium for what will end up as a budget holiday.

Only if I wanted bum sex

I wouldn't go to Centre Parcs under any circumstances, tbh. But if you like it, I'd recommend waiting until the spring if you don't want to be disappointed.

We are bookevto go next month. We will wait snd see Hester the time as CP are being very flexible re cancellation/rebooking.

For the life of me I will never understand why it is so important to go somewhere in a middle of a pandemic? Do people really want this to be more prolonged than needed? Or are they this selfish or idiotic?

No

We owe our dd a trip as a reward and she understands it can’t happen before a Covid vaccine or similar end to the pandemic.
