Hi,

cheers

    I'm 99.9% sure that there isn't but would be pleasantly surprised if anyone could prove otherwise.

    If I remember rightly you used to be able to use your TCVs for Center Parcs in Europe, though that's not showing on the website now. You've never been able to use them in UK Center Parcs, more's the pity!

    i know you only said UK but if you were willing to go to Europe it's a hell of a lot cheaper. have got a week in Belguim, including bike hire for £400 same week in sherwood forest £1200.

    Paying cash for the holiday but using clubcard for the Eurostar which will take us straight to Belguim. And if i wanted to could do car hire in belguim too using clubcard. All you've got to do it's get yourself to ashford & the rest is easy it's only 1 & half hours on the train.

    Hope this helps

    So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

    Eurostar is quite pricey though isnt it? We drove to Belgium last year (via Calais) - awful place. Rained the entire time we were there. Horrible food. Never again!

    Are the French Center Parcs as cheap I wonder?

    I've been pricing them up today Ellie !

    TBH not that much difference in price :(

    eg 4 night midweek break in a 3 bed :

    Longleat = £519
    La Bois in France = £506

    Once you've added on the eurotunnel or ferry it will be cheaper to stay here then I spose.

    What REALLY annoyed me about Center Parcs was that on the website/brochure it tells you that it cost £8 for a tennis court. When you get there you discover it is £8 PER PERSON :eek: . Complete rip-off - I dont know anywhere else where they charge per person to play tennis and their badminton courts were chargeable per court. There's inconsistency!

    ?! which one did you go to ?

    we didnt bother with many activities TBH

    but dad & hubby played badminton once, and it was £3.50 each for an hour ,which i didnt think was too bad ( this was jan so maybe they have chaned the way they charge ? now by the court not per person ?)

    then hubby & sons did footy for an hour, which was the same price i think

    Yes, the badminton was only £3.50 after 6pm at Longleat. Very reasonable I thought.
