  • Hey Bunnster, no I haven't, my mum always wanted to take us as kids though... isn;t it a bit like Center Parcs but more like chalet accommodation?

  • The reason I ask is when we went to the cinema this weekend they had a long promo showing before the movie started and tbh, it looked quite good!

    And a lot of the activites are free that you pay for a Centre Parcs....looked a basic week in the summer hols and it would be about £700 which is not too bad really...self catering...
