    I don't know about within the UK, but Sunparks in Belgium is similar but much, much cheaper

    Bluestone seems as pricey as Centerparcs to me. Tried a 1 week booking for 2A2C in August and it came to nearly £1,300 basic price.

    Ive never been to center parks so you need to explain what its is your looking for I Know butlins and havens pontins are classed as similar and center parks is a little more upmarket than that but all better self contained lodges with pool. park. tranquil location . bar etc.

    It depends what you like about centerparcs. We've been once and it offered nothing over and above what we have had at numerous other destinations.

    Thats what i was trying to say but never been to CP so cannot compare . We see pics of familys riding along tree lined pathways on shiny bikes and spa treatments for you & your granny . Thats not our bag and shudder at the thought . We lie in and eat food then drink and eat more .

    Center Parcs is The Middle Classes queuing to do activities.

    Butlins/Pontins/Haven are the Working Classes and poorer Middle Classes queuing to do activities with more swear words. :D
