Sorry if this should be in Travel, but I guess the mods will move it if it should..
Just wondering, has anyone been to Center Parcs (Sherwood Forest, in particular) and would you recommend it? I've got a week off, the first week of October, and I'd like to get away with my boyfriend for say 3-4 nights. I've checked out the prices and the £350-ish it'll cost shouldn't be a problem - am hoping for a big enough bonus from work to cover it!
Anyone got any good or bad points about CP to share, or any other ideas for a few nights away? (We stayed in a cottage in the Peak District at the end of June, which was lovely. Looking for something similar in the sense that we can stay in when we want, cook when we want and just relax for a few days away from everything else). Thanks!

They had like a wave machine thing and played the Tarzan noise when the waves were starting from what i can remember, odd but still good
like butlins for the middle class?
Been to elveden, sherwood and longleat before, and i like them all. The only downside in my point of view is it can be quite pricey as you pay for activities separately. The only thing included in the price of the villa is the swimming pool (which is fab!!). However what that does mean is that you only participate in what you want/can afford to...spend the rest of the time relaxing!!
PS It is nothing like Butlins for the middle class!!You'll enjoy...i can guarantee :thumb:
Not that theres anything wrong with centreparks or Butlins or Haven sites or whatever. I just think theyre kiddy things. You go there with a family because theres plenty for kids to do under one roof
I cant imagine why adults would want to go if they didnt have children with them.
But oasis isn't a true Center Parcs site. OK it is owned by them now...but was set up by the oasis company who were brought out by center parcs...for the true center parcs experience go for one of the 3 original UK sites :yes: definitely not scabby!!
End of discussion

lololol
Did you enjoy?
Yup. Its ace. If expensive as hell.
You'll remember it for sure.
Fair enough...everyone sees things differently...good to hear the other side for a balanced argument etc.
The swimming pool i enjoyed especially the outside/rock slide thing because the air was nice and cold on your face but the water feels just like a bath.
