Affordable alternatives to Centerparcs?

I would love a family minibreak at Centerparcs but it's a bit too steep. I want to take my disabled mum with us too and was wondering if there are any more affordable alternatives. Centerparcs looks beautiful and I would love that country feel somewhere else?

Bluestone in Pembrokeshire. There are adapted lodges available there too.

I have to say that for me bluestone doesn't compare with centreparcs but there are nice things to do iN the area.

Sandy balls (yes really) in new forest is fab. I preferred it to centreparcs!

Bluestone will be too hilly if your mothers disabilities are mobility linked
Are you tied to school holidays?
We just returned from cp paying 350 for a 4 bed lodge sleeping 8 min- fri which seemed reasonable?

I loved Bluestone other than the fact that it was a stinker of a drive from us (north west). Beautiful area though with loads to do nearby. Most families
Except us rented a golf buggy which would obviously help with mobility.

Centre Parcs abroad are often cheaper than UK - we went to De Kempervennen in the Netherlands, it was great.

Look at hoseasons parks. We stayed at Cheddar woods near Bristol and it's was lovely. Lots to do in local area and a lot of sporty stuff for older kids. We also loved forest holidays - but not a cheap option.

At Easter, we're going to Het Vannebos (which is a Landals Greenpark) in the Netherlands at Easter. It looks similar to CP, but even with the Eurotunnel crossing, worked out less than half the price if I remember correctly.

Limefitt park in Windermere is beautiful. We booked a private lodge & loved it.

Thanks again for all of these recommendations.

Ribbyhall, near Blackpool? We haven't been yet, so I can't vouch for access issues, but certainly cheaper than Centreparcs - worth a look.

Im looking for somewhere no further than two hours from London.
