I agree with both of the comments above about the high prices for everything and unless you are physically fit without small children then you really will find it difficult getting around the park. We had one of the boxes come villa at the far end of the park, the scenery was nice and we felt as though we were right out in the middle of a forest.<br><br>On the second day we went swimming for a few hours and when we got back we found that our villa had been broken into. The a bedroom window had been forced open and our laptop, video camera, digital camera, money and a 35ml camera had all gone. I called security who were in their defence were very quick to respond they had a guy with a very menacing dog plus about five other guys searching the surrounding area. I asked if burglary was a common problem but they wouldn’t answer the question only to say they have had it happen before so when the police arrived I asked the same question to be told that yes it is a common problem at the Longleat site. We were moved to a villa at the centre of the park which was nice of them :-) <br><br><br>So my recommendation is if you really do think this sort of holiday is for you and you fancy Longleat the take out insurance because there is a good chance you will need it. Center Parcs for their credit will respond quickly to this sort of event but they will not cover any loss you incur. <br><br>Lee Coopernoreply@blogger.com
