  • After MONTHS away we are back back back again at Center Parcs Longleat Forest for a family getaway in June 2023. This one vlog includes everything that we got up to during our weekend break in summer.
    This time we are stopping in a 2 bed executive dog lodge in the Fir area (my favourite area at Longleat), and are joined by some recurring guest stars...
    This vlog includes some badminton in the Sports Plaza, swimming in the Subtropical Swimming Paradise, electric boats on the lake, a delicious curry from Rajinda Pradesh, some wildlife, loads!
    I hope you enjoy the video :)

      Yes it's a bit different to Disney, generally a lot calmer 😂😂 unfortunately we can't take Harper away to Florida or on cruises with us, so CP is a nice option as they have (limited) dog lodges. The rest of the time gets to stay with friends and have a break from us 😂

    Congratulations Dave and Rob on achieving the 1000 subscribers milestone - I'm guessing that income stream will fund even more CP visits :). Enjoyed this one as we're about to go to Longleat in October after a near on 7yr break (illness). We're taking our dog (Gruffalo) for his first visit so that'll be an enjoyable change too. Thank goodness you didn't do a full sweep of The Store Room as Mrs M would've started fantasy purchasing before we had even arrived!! If you guys want a cheeky day pass option for October let us know and we'll make it happen. All the best, Kevin.

    • @RobCadenElkins
      @RobCadenElkins  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Kevin, really exciting to have found a little community online who are interested in the same things that we like to do and show us such kindness and support on the videos. Any pennies earned will go towards future trips or videos one way or another, although quite a way off from achieving a treehouse break just yet 😂😂😂
      What sort of dog is Gruffalo? I hope he enjoys it as much as Harper does 🐶
      Mrs M will surely find PLENTY in the store room, and after seven years she has some catching up to do 😂🙈

      @@RobCadenElkins Hi Rob & Dave. Gruffalo is a cross between a Patterdale and a Lakeland so let’s just say he won’t be getting off the lead 😱😂. Mrs M has extensive experience of buying goods out of the storeroom with the staff more than delighted to put her purchases behind the counter whilst she looks for other ‘seasonal’ items😂. Just as well I love the ‘free’ swimming. You and Dave should try the tree top walk - just think of the viewer fun as you guys freeze with fear! Just a thought. Best wishes!

    Really enjoyed this vid, not that i dont enjoy the others lol. I think because we're going in August. Interesting their selling again, hope changes are for the better. There was talk of building a cp near us but it feel through, too much opposition i guess. Have you thought about doing cp europe? I would be interested to see that. X

    Congratulations! Please get the most bedazzled mickey ears possible! Is it me, or are the rapids and Lazy river longer at Longleat than Woburn? So happy for you and your vlog! Been with you a while.. like a proud sister here!

    • @RobCadenElkins
      @RobCadenElkins  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hahaah hey proud sister ✌️🥰 the lazy river at Longleat is short, although I think it's more fun than Woburn. Woburn is maybe more true to name though, with the inflatable tubes.
      As for the rapids, I think Longleat is longer, although I could well be wrong 😂😂
