Central Parcs at Longleat is very well set up for families and cabin was ideal for the stay, and a really good range of activities for all ages. The app could benefit from some improved signs as the Parc is extensive and we got lost a few times with routes, but staff were extremely helpful. The central plaza with the pool is a focal point and has good restaurants and a supermarket. Remember your parking place as it is vast.

Had a great time. Lodge was clean and fresh. The whole site was clean, no litter anywhere. Nice free kids play areas. Prices are expensive in the shops so take as much as you can or prepare to take out a loan. A couple of down sides was we paid £129 for the dogs to go but its not dog friendly, its dog tolerant. Dogs not allowed anywhere indoors which makes it difficult when wanting to go out for meals or to enjoy activities. Only allowed on outside seating at Jardin de sports when there's plenty space indoors to have a dedicated seating area for families with dogs. The only place allowing dogs was the Foresters Inn. It's a lovely place. The burger meals were.nice but the Mash potato & Cumberland sausage meal at £18/£19 was underwhelming. And £5.00 for a tiny portion of mash that was sloppy. Happy to pay for what we had, didnt have my glasses with me but finding out back at our lodge that a 7.5% service charge had been added to our bill was annoying. We paid £133.50 and I believe looking at the bill we were overcharged for the kids meals. A meal, drink and dessert should have been between £8.99 & £11.99 but looking at the bill we were charged individually at 8.99 for beans on toast, 11.99 chicken burger meal, 3.99 for a tiny glass of apple juice and a fanta and 3.99 per scoop of ice cream. So we got overcharged then a service charge on top.

It was my first visit to Longleat Centre Parcs, my children have been numerous times. I joined my family during their weeks stay ( for 3 days), 2 weeks prior to Xmas. It was brilliant...so Christmassy especially the lights in the evenings. My 8yr old Grandaughter visited Santa, who she was so happy to see. We used the the swimming facilities everyday, pottery painting, games of pool, used the restaurants & did plenty of walking. The staff were all very helpful & friendly. Overall it was a wonderful experience! I'd go back again!

Third trip to Centre Parcs Longleat. It's been a while as we couldn't afford the cost in school holidays. But my son had an inset day on the Monday after half term and prices seemed to be a bit cheaper for that weekend. We had a great time as usual mostly swimming in the sun tropical swimming. The younger kids pirate area is closed at the moment for renovation but everything else open as usual. Worth the extra cost to stay closer to the plaza. We are at Bella Italia which was nice. We love centre parcs but be aware that additional paid activities can add up to quite a bit. Most of them are well worth the cost though. If you are on a budget there's plenty of walking, swimming to be done which is free

We had a great stay. The lodges (we stayed in an 8 person lodges in Fir) are very basic, and for self catering weird not to have any dish brush or sponge. Also no soap in the bathrooms. However very clean and quiet and private with deer visiting the outside area on our first night. Great sub tropical swimming paradise. We did laser tag which was brilliant. The restaurants are not so good.

We returned to Center Parcs after a long break having gone every year as kids. I was pleasantly surprised by the subtropical swimming paradise, the slides and rapids are as exciting as I remember them being for kids - and it was a great way to spend time without having to spend money. Unfortunately, they have removed 2 out of the 3 squash courts so it was impossible to get a squash booking at a reasonable time. The parc market was really disappointing - only opening at 10 am on the Sunday and not having a great variety of drinks. We brought most of our food and drink for the weekend with us, however upon running out of diet coke and pastries we were hoping to grab them at the parc market. But they only have pepsi which is disappointing - this is true for all the bars and restaurants apart from cafe rouge.

We had a lovely stay at Longleat Forest Center Parcs. The lodge we rented was beautiful, and we absolutely loved that it was surrounded by forest — very peaceful and relaxing. The kitchen was well equipped, although a few small things were missing for us. Next time we’ll know to bring them ourselves. For example, we bought firewood for the fireplace, but there were no matches or firelighters available in the lodge, and it wasn’t mentioned that we should purchase them separately. This is just something first-time visitors might want to be aware of and prepare for It’s very convenient that there is a small shop in the center, as you can find almost everything you might need for your stay. The swimming and spa area is fantastic. Families with children will especially enjoy it, as it’s very child-friendly and well designed for kids. The only downside for us was the restaurants. We found them overpriced, the service felt rather careless, and the food itself was not very good. We actually enjoyed cooking in the lodge much more than dining out. That was our personal experience. Overall, it was a great stay, and we would happily return.

Great week spent at longleat center parcs. Bikes arent a must but they are certainly handy. There is a great free train that drives through the park getting you from a to b but is also a lot of fun for kids. The pool area was so much fun and the slides are fast especially the short white ones. You will come out bruised from the rapids but it is so worth it.
