The Center Parcs Experience

I’d be of the opinion that I’d go with the smallest suitable and cheapest available. Which for you is probably the apartment, unless you’re bringing a baby then you might want the extra space to put them in a bedroom while you have a drink. Its expensive enough that I wouldn’t get something unnecessary as an extra, the apartments look lovely and look over the lake.

We have booked for 4 nights around Paddys day.

looking forward to it ...

Not positive on this as it’s been a while but think it was a bit less than 40 a bike, 38 is in my head that’s per bike. Be aware though that the booking for bikes looks odd whatever way they have it set up, the price kinda looks like that’s the price for day and the bike has to be picked up at a specific time, it’s for your stay and you can pick up at anytime.

not cheap but if you don’t have a bike or a bike carrier it what can you do. Although if you do have bikes it might be a similar price to buy a bike carrier which you might get to use again.

Look up ballymahon greenway cycles.

They're local & about half the price.

We have booked bikes here for ours, very reasonably priced and great to deal with (so far 🙂 )

@Muahahaha the price is per stay for rental of bikes, so it’s 38 for 3 or 4 days.

No it’s not, now it’s been a couple of years since I was there so I might be wrong on the price but I’m pretty sure it’s in that ball park. Still though if you were bringing 3/4 kids it’s another couple of hundred quid onto the price of a holiday.

"cause it's so expensive it's full of very civilised middle classes."

Come on ...... 🙄

Maybe you should go camping in the mountains then , or join the Army for the wilder experience?

Anyone that goes knows its not set in a wild forest! Or , maybe just not you ?

This day next week , we will be there..

We are looking forward to it.. .Hopefully the weather is kind :)

You got the weather anyway.

Thing is nowadays if a kid is climbing a tree n cuts themselves it's a potential juicy payout. They have to make places a bit sterile for the insurance assessor calling out.

Maybe they should rebrand it as an English restaurant 😋

Well, if its as bad as you say, the staff are great at hiding it during interactions with us customers staying there.......

Well it’s not often you get to read so much scutter jammed into one post.

What are you on about ???!?!?!

What has plastic cups got to do with us going to Centre Parks ??

We were there in February and they all turned away any walk-ups. The place could be empty or close to it but they still refused.

Spots will open up all the time though, possibly moreso when you are there. We had restaurants booked each evening, but when we got there the kids wanted to go to the Pancake house - no availability when we checked initially but spots did open up then. Maybe book a few slots in the Sports Bar and see what develops when you are there? Food is pretty similar everywhere anyway to be honest.
