Sorry it's CentreParcs question but I could do with a poll please, TIA

OK - I have £5000 worth of gift vouchers to use and thought I might see if I can book somewhere for the first week of the summer hols. Might have left it too late though.

So I'll be 6/7 months pregnant by then (if nothing goes wrong) and I'll have a 19 month old and a 5.5 yr old, but she can't walk properly yet so will be using the double buggy a lot with them still.

I always fancied Longleat Centre parcs becasue I was desperate to go to Longleat Safari Park but I've been there now. Would go back there though but not as desperate.

So, which bearing in bind the pregnancy and 2 kids, one with special needs, do you think might be the best bet?

TIA, TC x

Whoops that £500 worth of vouchers!!!!

I've been to longleat a few times (Without kids though!) It is fairly hilly and spread out although there is a land train to get you about. I wouldn't fancy pushing a pram never mind a double from one part to the other.

I've always been told that Sherwood forset is the flatest. There's still a few hills though.

Could you request accomoation close to the centre. I think you pay an extra £20.

Sherwood is flat and compact, but Longleat is so much prettier.As per previous you can ask for accomodation near the facilities. Longleat has a land train for getting around which is handier. The Whinfell forest one has the best accomodation and is fairly compact and nnot too hilly.

Never been to Longleat but can vouch for Sherwood being flat. If you have vouchers, I'd probably pay to be close to the centre.

Longleat is the least flat of the lot - zero fun shoving buggies up those boardwalks.

Wherever you go, definitely get hold of a map and pick your villa when you book though.

isn't the suffolk one supposed to be the "nicest"?

Yes I agree - Longleat very pretty but just too hilly!

Sherwood really good - but you would have to pay the extra for accomodation near the centre - if there's availability - as I found when we were in a cabin out in the woods the walking was too much!

We've just come back from a week in the Whinfell one in Cumbria (may be too far to drive for you?)
But we requested a lakeside lodge which was right in the centre of things, it wasn't too hilly and everything was close by. We had a great time!

At Elveden, if you are looking at a map of it, the south is all downhill from the centre.

If you can cycle, hire a bike buggy, great for two children and all the paraphenalia.

The medical centre insisted we use our car on site when I was 7 months pregnant. I'd only gone there to have my blood pressure checked!
I felt a bit of a fraud, but it was in December and freezing so gladly took them up on it.

Sherwood is my personal favourite, but the facilities are dispersed all around the forest, with some of them being quite a way from each other... with Eleveden they're all pretty much under one roof, so that might be best for you

Sherwood gets my vote - we always try and get a villa near the main village area.

Longleat at 38wks pregnant nearly killed me! Whilst Longleat is my favourite village (been at least a dozen times) it is just so steep.

Been to Sherwood a few times and so much easier....and flatter!

Have fun X

We've only been to Elvedon - which was flat & easy to get around. Think thats the newer one too (as part of it got burnt down a while back !)
(Lucky you for the gift vouchers !!)

Read the OP and thought I would be going somewhere a bit better than CentreParcs with £5K. Sorry can't actually be helpful.
