    We have done Center parcs ( longleat ) alot of times, we sometimes go twice a year, we have taken the children when they were 1 yr old, to recent 8 yrs old

    Now we have done most haven sites in the South West, We have done Devon Cliffs 4 times now, its a great site, though i will be honest and say we prefere weymouth bay haven, its a smaller site, we first went to Haven when our youngest was 7 months old, we then went 3 - 4 times per year, which must mean something

    have you thought or Butlins ? ? ? We have done this a number of times aswell ( twice a year for the past4 years ) its our new prefered weekend break, stay in the better accommodation and its great, nice pool, good stuff for younger children

    While Center parcs is very nice, not sure it has enough for your baby, the pool bit has a baby section, but they will not want to stay in the water for too long

    Haven or Butlins for me i am afraid, i would go with Haven, the " rorey gang " are great for the younger children

    I doubt many people have been to more than one (or two) to judge Longleat is good but cannot compare against others and dont know what you like either. You have chosen a good mix of areas .

    Thanks guys. We are now thinking Havens or Butlins. More geared towards Butlins since there as been a recent post Butlins vs Havens!

    I vote for haven everytime. Having a little one aged nearly 3 it is right up our street. I went to Devon Cliffs 2 years ago and loved it and that was before they spent millions of £s on upgrading its pools and facilities. Going again in 3 weeks and so can't wait to see the changes. And massive bonus having its own private beach (just a little steep walking down the path to it) but we managed it fine.

    Again without knowing you and what you like its guess work. I have a contact for Haven Littlesea if it helps. Only one down there we know.
