Looking at having a couple of long weekends away this year another couple, needs to be suitable for two kids under 4.

Thinking along the lines of Centre Parcs, and woodland lodges etc..

If anyone has any good ideas, what they've enjoyed or would recommend i'd be grateful, all ideas welcome!

Cheers

My lad has just turned 4- we did the Eden project last year which he loved.
Went for a weekend- spent one day there and the other on the beach

Centre Parcs is excellent just make sure you go out of school hols.

Its not that weather dependent as well.

We've done Centre Parcs a few times, we know that's good, and we're going back again October.

We're interested in something similar though, so ideas, or show me places you've stayed and enjoyed?

Try Bluestone in Wales (near Tenby)... similar to CenterParcs, but smaller. We went in October, and got a really cheap deal. The Blue Lagoon swimming pool was excellent for the kids with flumes, lazy river, wave machine etc... only problem for us was the drive to get there, coming from Scotland!

I would be interested in hearing other suggestions, particularly ones in Scotland, or at least easily driveable from central Scotland. We are looking for a short break at Easter, so have considered CenterParcs Whinfell, Crieff Hydro and MacDonald Aviemore.
