Center Parc's fans:


we have just come back from a sensational week at CP Woburn and would like to rebook with our rebooking discount voucher for the same time of year but in 2018. Are there any fans here who would recommend Longleat or Elevden over Woburn Forest? Or indeed Woburn over all 3? Little one's are will both be just 5 next year.


Would love some tips....


TIA

I?ve been to all but one of the CPs and for the cycling and pool area Longleat is my favourite. It?s got a lovely lake area, much bigger than Woburn. It is quite hilly there so little ones might struggle cycling if they are not confident cyclists. My 6 yr old really enjoyed it but he?s quite strong with loads of energy to burn! There is a land train that you can take if cycling gets too much. Unlike Woburn I think you do need a bike at Longleat as it is a vast area to cover on foot.


If you got to try the spa at Woburn you?d be a bit disappointed at Longleat,for that Woburn is definitely better. Woburn also has a much better lazy river, the Longleat one is tiny and doesn?t have the rubber rings. The actual pool is bigger/ better though.


Elveden might be a good option as it?s bigger than Woburn but much flatter than Longleat so easier to cycle. It was my least favourite CP but I can?t really remember why as was a few years ago!


We?ve always done the midweek break and at Longleat took a day out to go the safari park which is right next door and well worth a visit. There is also a lot more wildlife at Longleat, we had deer walking past the lodge a few times as well as ducks at the back door.


Hope that helps!

      Royal Mail will come and collect your parcels from your home if you book/pay it all on their website.  You can even print out your own postage for letters/cards.  I did all of my Christmas cards that way this year rather than hunting down physical stamps!

      Surely there is much less cash being banked these days because the vast majority of people find it much more convenient to pay by card (or phone) than to have to get out cash, carry it around, pay with it,  and then mess about with having to find somewhere to store heavy loose change. Card payment  is also much easier for the shop. And much easier for customers in a queue who don't have to wait while someone gets their purse out, counts out the money and gives it to the assistant,  who then has to count out and give them their change, which they then have to put away in their purse...  And nobody from the shop has to carry shedloads of notes and loose change to the bank or post office and queue up to pay it in. There is also less likelihood of a customer being short changed, or of  some  form of theft from the till.

      But why ask us to book ahead? The system benefits the die-hards who hover over their keyboards and snap up the slots (and don’t always show up).

      Sure, there is much less cash being banked these days because businesses are driven to accept card payments. They have to go to card payment because there is no local bank where they can pay in their daily take. In effect, it is a feedback loop which will result in no high street banks at all. Cash payment is really only used for paying  self-employed trades people who are evading tax.
