Are centreparcs joking?

[1dilemma]

OK I need to go to bed
The flyer at the top of the page caught my eye.
Oh yes I thought a long weekend in centreparcs that will be nice lets go in Feb it will be cheap then.
Umm 2,000 pounds

Well 1,900 and something for 3 nights in feb in England it even told me to hurry there were only 9 left.

There will still be 9 left by the morning I think.

Course it will for about 16 people I hope

ridiculous

they're aving a laugh

What were you looking at?

I just put in for weekend at the start of halfterm, family of 6 came up at £539

£1700 for executive with a jacuzzi

Prices are per villa, not per person

Tab I think it was 8 people trouble is it doesn't matter to me how many you can squeeze in what matters is how many I want it for.
TBH minority at that price I didn't really look too closely.
I'm not going (clearly) as I say the banner caught my eye and since they come up a lot on here I thought I'd look I was just surprised that people book a half term weekend at that price!

Don't blame me! Stop peddling Centre Parcs crap. We all know it's not cheap but that's life. I spent my childhood at Butlins and was happy.

Sorry only responding not really accusing you of setting centreparcs pricing policy

oh it was longleat I think (that was to minorityrules)

Are CentreParks not meant as easy ways to entertain your boring children anyway?

Boring children!!

Yes

go to a european one - you will be amazed how much cheaper it is.

I've never grasped the concept of Centreparcs in the UK, sounds like Butlins, but very expensive and unlike Butlins, there's nothing much to do, you pay for almost everything as extra and do your own cooking. I've always felt they're for people who live in big cities who've never seen a squirrel before.

The ones abroad look much better though, my son loves water sports and my daughter likes climbing...trying to talk my hubby into going.

SK

never looked at center parks TBH always thought they were out of my price range obviously i was right. Butlins again for us at half term. 4 nights for 2 adults and 2 children including 2 bed apartment and breakfast and dinner is costing £240. BARGAIN!!!!

I love CP. My family loves CP- we go every december, I have actually always found it good value for money. I would rather stick pins into my eyes than visit Butlins.

CP is nothing at all like Butlins, not even remotely. The only comparison is that families holiday there.

We're doing a weekend in the Lake District one in Feb/Mar (only time I'd go, due to ridiculous prices the rest of the time; conveniently also dd2's birthday) for £330 for four of us.

I have just booked a weekend at Centre Parcs with friends and it costing me under £100.

It can actually be very good value for money and I have been there every year for a long while now.

Yeah it is cheap in December. But if you actually want to go in the school holidays it is v. expensive.

Ellbell, the few weeks leading up to Xmas are generally the cheapest- we always go at that time of year - its so christmassy.

We only go for the christmas stuff, its not something I would do for a summer holiday- love the christmassy feeling there!

ROFL @ "I've always felt they're for people who live in big cities who've never seen a squirrel before".

Ha, I just tried to book for the beginning of Feb for a weekend and got the same ridiculous price of £1700 odd, as that was all they had left.

We haven't been before, but only live 1/2hr away from Elveden.

My dh reckons its just an upmarket version of Butlins with lodges instead of caravans.

I've just tried and there are loads - from £500 - £1700

fimbo it's expensive and rubbish

imo

I love it!

The only Butlins type part (at Elveden anyway) is the Sports Bar and veteran CPers avoid it like the plague!

We love it!!
