Center Parcs Alternatives?

strandedinaber

Hi,

I'm looking for a place for my sister's hen do for next May, from Friday-Monday. We may have a teacher coming with us so bank holiday/half term would be best. We have all stayed in Center Parcs before and loved it, but I wondered if anyone could recommend any alternatives we should also consider? We're all big fans of spas and bike riding and could probably pass on the more active things.

Thank you!

4-5 star country hotel. Plenty of choice and always deals to be had.

In my house we love Bluestone in Pembrokeshire - https://www.bluestonewales.com I think. Like Centerparcs but nicer IMHO and usually less pricey. The spa is GORGEOUS too ;-)

We do a lodge holiday in e a year, bluestones as mentioned above is really fantastic, as is their spa. The activities are much cheaper than centre parks and my 3 & 13 year old had plenty of choice. They do a lot of offers so keep an eye out if not travelling in school holidays. Sadly the lodges don't have hot tubs though. The pool is amazing, and the indoor play area is wonderful for kids of all ages. If you go, DEFINATELY book the dinner show, held once a week for kids in the tree house restaurant, we've been for the last couple of years and it's a highlight.

The arts and crafts hotel also looks great, though not been myself. Friends have been and loved it.

We have often found that staying at a lodge in a smaller park and then paying for activities off site cheaper.

Forest holidays do amazing lodges and we had a magical time at keldy forest. 5 star luxury. Stunning hot tub.

Retallack I'm Cornwall was fabulous too, they have a flow rider and a restaurant and a full kids programme if activities. And a spa!

We also loved Goosewood, near York. (Flower of May holidays). Nice lodge with a outdoor tub and tiny sauna off the bathroom. Lots to do near York.

We're off the Ribblesdale lodge next, got a great deal with hoseasons in their sale. Plan to use our merlin passes and go to blackpool whilst we're there.

Good luck, I'd suggest that getting a hot tub would make it extra special, and still miles cheaper than centre parks.
