Can you rephrase that in a question we might be able to answer
That bolt app is unraleable.
Go off season or low season. Prices shoot up during school holidays⌠Is your eldest in school yet? If not book a monday to a friday. Fuckall for the very young to do really but youll have kept up with the neighbours. Hit the pool every day in there. And get the missus do mind rhe kids while you go down the rapids a shit load. Best thing there.
Bookings in centre parcs
⌠activities, restaurants and whatever ever else. Weâre Going in May for Mrs Kyleâs 40th but apparently youâve to book everything well in advance which just isnât how i usually roll.
Bring plenty of grub to cook as restaurants are bang average there and charged a premium for it.
Bring bikes if you can. Will need to rent otherwise.
Midgey repellant
Going for a wedding this year. Never been
Your kids are young arenât they. They wonât need many activities. Pick one or two and leave it at that.
The pool is class. Just bring them there and the playground everyday. No extra for that.
Bring as much shopping as you can. Shop is a rob naturally. Thereâs a SuperValu in the town, but they are as bad.
Youâd get away without a bike in one of the houses close to the centre. You wouldnât if you are out a bit.
Ye will enjoy it. The whole thing is set up to milk you dry. But it is a very good setup tbf to them
Going myself for the first time in April.
Wouldnât be surprised if Center Parcs Ltd are taking a few quid off the credit card just for having this conversation.
Expect to be queuing in the car if you arrive around 2pm-4pm.
Arrive earlier and go to the pool but you cant check in to your lodge (or park at lodge) till 4pm.
Tis good there but pricey. As above
What kind of shit Center Parcs / Centerparcs advice are people giving here? Lads recommending bringing a weekly shop with you in the boot because a 2L of milk is 15c dearer in the shop onsite than Lidl. Good Lord above, donât do that. Use the shop.
The restaurants are grand too. Book a couple of them - the Indian one is the best but it doesnât have a play area. The other places have little indoor play areas where the kids can run amok while youâre waiting for or digesting food. Maybe cook some pasta in the chalet on another night.
You donât need too many activities but worth booking them on the date they become available to book as popular stuff sells out. The pool only opens at 10am daily so weâve booked jet skis at 9.15am/9.30am a couple of times, youâre then in the pool immediately after your activity & just as itâs opening up to others.
Plenty of arts & crafts type activities to choose from for younger kids & stuff like cookie decorating, chocolate making etc. Handy to have something indoor like this booked in case itâs pissing rain. You could book an outdoor activity or two also such as the little cars or whatever.
Some sort of authority on these things, you are?
He asked for advice, people contributed. Calm yourself
This guy fucks.
If youâre tormented about going to the restaurant in Centre Parcs lads youâre haunting yourself. If you want to cook, go to a campsite. Definitely book the activities when they come up or youâll be staring at 4 walls while you wait for your fucking pasta to cook.
The Indian is savage.
Yes, I am an authority.
I wish I could stay calm in these situations. How I wish I could.
But I fucking canât.
It only takes one meal out in the onsite restaurant to ruin your life forever.
Bring as much sandwiches as ye can carry
The Craft Beer and wine selection in the shop isnât great @Kyle so bring your own drink and maybe your own stuff to make Breakfast for the kids. Aside from that theyâve everything you need there and youâll pay a premium for it but its easier than loading 40 shopping bags into the car. Try booking a cabin within a short walk to the swimming pool if you can
I believe we have a bbq so weâll fire that up wan night. Weâll Ate out 2 nights and roll with it the other night.
This booking and queues for everything sounds like fucking hell. I hate people.
Itâs ok mate. People hate you too.
Thatâs the look Iâm going for.
Iâm always reminded of those âWHATEVER you do, DONT change money in the airportâ types in these posts
Saving two euro to spend the first night of their holiday traipsing around searching for the least dodgy looking money changer down a back alley to give them a 0.01% better rate
