Bluestone Wales info needed please

Supernatural_girl

Hi everyone,

Just booked my first family holiday to Bluestone Wales and have pre-booked an Adventure Centre pass for my 2 year old son. The lady on the phone has charged me £15 to cover a midweek break for all of us to use the centre. However after reading reviews on Tripadvisor lots of people said they were charged £7.50 per child and £2.50 per adult every time they went into the centre. As a result my £15 midweek pass seems too good to be true (There is me, my husband, my 2 year old and 3 month old baby in our party altogether). Has anyone been to Bluestone recently, visited the children's adventure centre and can therefore shed any light on this discrepancy?

Many thanks in advance,

Hello! Don't worry what she has sold you is all ok! We went there in April and they were offering the same deal.

What sort of accomodation are you staying in? I would highly recommended hiring one of their golf buggies to get around - the hill up to the car park and adventure centre is rather steep if you are located near the village centre! They are real good fun as well - our 2 year old daughter loved it!


Make sure you plan a visit to Folly Farm while you are there - excellent value for money and the children will love it!

Thanks ojc77, we are staying in a Caldey lodge. Don't know whereabouts on the village although the lady on the phone said we were in the block nearest to the car park at the moment but that can be subject to change. She said we could pay an extra £35 to guarantee that area but even then there is a 15 minute hilly walk to the car park so I decided to book a golf buggy. Wasn't sure if it was value for money at £66.50 but so glad I did now after reading your post. Also it wont matter now if we are further away so no need to pay the extra £35. With a 2 year old and 3 month old I didn't fancy walking up steep hills for miles! Am quite excited about the golf buggy, it'll be a real novelty!

We are definitely going to Folly Farm. Am also thinking of going to the dinosaur park and some local beaches. Barafundle bay looks great but not sure if it's practical with 2 small children. May go to Saundersfoot instead

Hi

I am thinking of booking our summer holiday there. I am wondering what it is that you had to pay extra for? Also what are prices like there, for activities/shop/restaurant?
The accomodation itself is quite expensive so I'm guessing everything else may be too!
