    No they don't at any of the CP sites :(

    Check the parc market late afternoon for reduced prices on meat and cold foods. We picked up chicken and ham for 1/2 price.
    Lakeside Inn and Sports cafe offer some good value meals.

    Has anyone done the Paintball activity at Whinfell and was it any good? I have 4 boys who wish to do this and want to know if it is worth £20 each.
  • The best economy tip I can think of is to pay to stay in the most central area of the site. This means that you can pop back to your accommodation and have snacks and meals. The first year we went I was annoyed at having to pay for a location and ended up in the Firs at Longleat which resulted in us staying out most days visiting various cafes.

    We paid for a couple of other activities and were really impressed with the Falconry and mini crossbows.

    I always pre-book a lodge so I know where I'm staying. I've never done otherwise. I recommended the place to my cousin & told her to pre-book a lodge & she refused saying it was too expensive. Got to her lodge & it was right up the top & took abotu 35 mins to walk to the centre with 3 kids. She was not amused so from now on she always books the lodge!

    Vital to do to IMO.

    Agreed, always pick villa/lodge. £20 discount on cost as select guest offer - so always been a no-brainer with us.
    Land train at Longleat is a help, but not on changeover days though as it doesn't start until 6pm.
