Went to Winfell Forest near Penrith about 4 years ago.Enjoyed it.The setting was nice and the facilities were spot on as well.Plus you're right on the edge of The Lakes,so if you want a good day out,you've got no problems there either.

Are these those things under the giant glass domes? Are they a bit like Logan's Run where all the over 30's nick off to the 'carousel' once a week?  It always bothers me how they clean the bird muck of them.  |

went to the sherwood forest one a few years ago, thought they were a bit pricey once they have you in through the gate. I went out of a school holiday period so wasn't over busy but the central covered area was fullish, I would hesitate about going during a school holiday period.

Been to all of the Centre Parcs in the UK and go most years for a long weekend. Needless to say I enjoy it there - and each one has a slightly different appeal.
As for being expensive, the prices for activities are not that much more than anywhere else the problem is that most people want to do lots of things whilst they are there and the costs spiral.
We tend to do one or two extra activities a day (you have to do archery if you are standing in the middle of Sherwood forest!) and then chill out at the pool (your kids will all love it) or have a wonder around the forest.
If you have bikes, take them with you - if not hire them there as it is the best way to get around the village.
