Which centre parcs?

[Cric]

We are looking at the possibility of a trip to centre parcs this summer. We have really enjoyed a family stay at longleat. Not a ridiculous travel, great pool and enjoyed the activities. We are wondering how different the others are (Nottingham / Milton Keynes area one) and are that worth the hours extra in the car or are they all fairly similar?? Thanks

Which pool is the best?!

We loved de kampervaanan and the children had three ski lessons each too.

We like de kempervennen too (much cheaper) the outdoor pool in Milton Keynes is irritatingly small it’s basically just the entrance to the rapids which upset me as I love swimming outside. Haven’t been to sherwood for years but not as hilly as longleat which was a plus.

Elvedon is our favourite, great pool and flatter than longleat! If you’re keen on the swimming pool, I wouldn’t go to Woburn as the actual main pool is awful!

If you like Longleat, I’d avoid Woburn. It doesn’t feel established enough and is all very close together. Not the same vibe at all.

We like Elvedon best! Love the pool there and the Spa is lovely 😍

I love Woburn, but not for the outdoor pool! The indoor one is fairly small, but the waves in there are amazing compared to Longleat! There are some good other bits indoors too, such as the lazy river.
However, the outdoor pool and the rapids are rubbish compared to Longleat. The rapids are really small, and there is basically no outdoor pool, so I would definitely choose Longleat in comparison.

Thanks everyone

Sherwood all the way. We've just done longleat after years of Sherwood and they're very different. Sherwood has better rapids (though they come inside earlier) and better big slides. But, doesn't have the sheet rides longleat has and no outdoor hot tub.

I loved the longleat lake area which I don't think the others villages have in the same way. But, overall Sherwood felt like a better layout, being more round than long.

If you've got kids longleat is hard to beat with the arcades, escape room etc - plus the safari park on the way home! But Sherwood just feels more chilled to us and lots more bunny rabbits!

Good to have a sherwood comparison. Thank you

Whinfell is great 👍🏻
