    Just to let people know CentreParcs was fine, no ‘chavs’ to speak of and a good time was had by all. The car park looked like an Audi/BMW/RangeRover forecourt so it was a good indication of the type of clientele.

    On a side note I would highly recommend the Italian restaurant but avoid the Indian like the plague as all 8 people were ill the next day but luckily we were going home anyway.

    Overall 8/10

    I think the peak season price will keep out most of the undesirables and yes we are staying in an 'executive' apartment.

    You've been to them all, then? That shows great resolve, or something.

    Try the Triangle Cafe in Hitchin. An omelette costs £7!! That's a normal cheese omelette, nothing special, just an omelette.
