August hol ideas with teenagers

Hi All
Looking for ideas for a few days away with my sister and her 2 kids, 11 and 15. It will be in August. Have looked at Center Parcs and Hoseasons. Anyone have experience of either?
Any other ideas?

Thanks

    Hi, my kids are a similar age. I would be looking at a holiday park where there is lots to do so the kids can go off and amuse themselves for some of the time and you and your sister can spend some time together chilling out. Then maybe all of you can do a bit of sightseeing together.

    Hoseasons is a good place to look, we have booked with them before. The problem with August is that many places will be hideously expensive so you need to shop about. Center Parcs is fantastic but overpriced for what it is, in my opinion.

    I have never used the site myself but have heard of directholidayhomes.co.uk which might be worth a look. You might find one of the Hoseasons Parks cheaper on there.

    Hi
    From the Midlands; we are totally open about where to go; but obviously with teenagers we would like somewhere where they have plenty to do

    Centre Parks is quite a bit more expensive than Hoseasons, people rave about both I found a 'no spend' discount here

    Have a fantastic holiday wherever you go.:beer:
