Last week, myself and Phil descended upon Center Parcs Longleat for a week of rapid riding, pool sliding, bike riding and general fun. I had never been to Center Parcs as a kid so I had no idea what to expect but Phil had fond childhood memories of the place that needed living up to.
We were both well in need of a relaxing week away and that it definitely was! It is so nice to be able to go somewhere, not have to worry about anything and completely please yourself. We booked the Aqua Sana spa for our last day there and it was absolute bliss, it wasn't over busy and there were 15 different spa experiences to choose from including a heated outdoor pool.
The only downside of the whole week was the price of eating out, we really enjoy food and eating out together but it wasn't realistic to do it every night (both of our bank balances have taken quite a hit). If we were to go again we would definitely take more food to cook ourselves as the accommodation we stayed in (Redwood Apartments) had all the facilities you needed to be fully self catered.

Really it was just nice for the two of us to get to spend some quality time together and enjoy each others company. It was back to reality this week though...
