    2011 holiday BOOKED! Hubby, SIL, BIL, Nephew, MIL, FIL, DS and I are having 4 nights in Bluestone. Was really cheap for all of us - £64 deposit per couple and £165 per couple left to pay (which includes adventure centre passes for the kids - adults are free to the centre). Can't WAIT!!! (plus a very MSE holiday, especially as all Bluestone accommodation and activities are 5*)

    Thanks Beccie :)

    Bluestone is in Pembrokeshire, it's a bit like Centre Parks but on a smaller scale - all 5* and looks lovely. My BIL and SIL have been before and they suggested it. It's quite pricey but if you have enough of you, the larger cabins don't cost much more than the smaller ones so you can split the cost.

    They have a website - we are staying in the "Dinas" if you're interested in having a nose.

    Ok so this weekend I will mainly be driving past all my local petrol stations and writing down their prices. I will post these on here in case people are interested as I cannot find them online.

    Maybe I will start a thread so people can post locations, stations and prices - what do you think?

    Thanks EB!

    I won't Woo - I pass several en route to things I already have to do on the weekend, I will just take a look and write down (once parked of course) how much they charge.
