Are Places Like Center Parcs Safe?
Naively asking those who've stayed in one if you've ever felt unsafe/vulnerable at night to burglars et al in a secluded lodge in the middle of a forest? Contracting lyme disease aside, I quite like the idea of a woodland retreat but have felt they seem like easy targets for ne'er-do-wells!
