As most families will testify, holidays are so important! Couple that with the fact that our family life is often bonkers and any time we have to rest is rare, wowsers we needed this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the thought of flying or spending hours driving being too much for Arch, a local-ish holiday always seems to suit us well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after an (almost) 3 year wait, we finally managed to get a mini break to Centerparcs at Longleat – yay!! \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have visited this Centerparcs village a few times in the past and adore it because it is so perfect for Archie’s needs! If he is happy then we, as a family, are all happy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accommodation is always clean and tidy and, depending on the style you choose, all have a very similar layout (essential for someone with ASD). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restaurants are all family friendly and fully understanding of Archie’s “no food touching”<\/em><\/strong> requests! They even dished up a meal on his dividing plate that we brought with us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fresh air and the opportunity to reconnect as a family was just what we needed and we would highly recommend Centerparcs as a wonderful family place to ‘holiday’… particularly if you are restricted in you destination choices as we are at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pool is FANTASTIC! \ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a swirly rapid slide (that even non swimmers can manage) it’s fun for all the family! There is also a wonderful area for the smaller kids with lots of mini slides, water guns. There is also the option to rent a cabana for some private space during your 3 hour slot at the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all really enjoyed all<\/em><\/strong> of the fun activities that we took part in and can’t recommend Centerparcs enough as a great destination for a fun-filled, energetic (but still restful) family holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please visit the ‘Access for All<\/a>‘ section of the Centerparcs website for lots more details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
