We went to the Center Parcs at Longleat, at the end of last summer, and had a brilliant few days......and it actually seemed like a lot longer with the amount of things we packed into it. I was quite surprise by some of the landscape which had some pretty steep hills, but this can be quite fun as you meet lots of people on the way. It was incredibly quiet, to the extent that squirrels and ducklings frequently came up to the french windows of the suite we were staying in. As it is in a forest, you can also expect lots of lovely trees which reach impressive heights. I advise parents to book activities in advance too, as some classes/activities/treatments are very popular! We decided on one class each, during which time we took our 1 year old daughter to the creche. It really was a great holiday, and one on which you all feel much healthier and fitter afterwards, and you won't of even noticed that you are getting fit too! - Matt . PS:- the sub tropical paradise IS as good as it sounds.....time just flies by!
