We decided Centre Parcs was the place for us to spend Easter half term. When we told people we were going to Woburn Centre Parcs in half term, they looked at us like we won the lottery… Yes, it is more expensive in half term. However, it is cheaper than abroad. Easier than getting three…

What I learned from a week in Butlin’s – A Butlin’s review Bognor and Minehead
Before I had kids, I always imagined holidays abroad with future children. I dreamt of days lazing by the pool watching the kids jumping in and out. I thought of the excitement of the plane, and the airport. I thought how much they’d love endless ice creams. In 2022, when Marfs was 8 months and…
