First Time For Everything
This was our first visit to Longleat itself, had been to Centre Parcs previously; our first Centre Rally and Festival of Light.
The site itself was immaculate. Pitches are generous with plenty of water and waste points within easy reach of your pitch. TV reception was intermittent, although you can plug into the booster system if you have a lead, something we will consider for next time.
Staff were very helpful, especially when we had to nip off to the dealer to fix an electrical failure with our new caravan.
The East Hampshire Centre Rally organisers had given us plenty of information about the ability to get discounted tickets for the Festival of Light online via the CC site. We bought 2 day tickets to make full use of the Festival of Light on night 1, and managed to get into the safari for the end of the second day once we had the van fixed.
The approach route is well signed, just follow instructions and don't arrive earlier than asked. Yes the van did a get muddy front, but no more than other parts of the country in winter. Be watchful of safari visitors racing around the shared road for the final approach to site.
We will definitely visit again in the summer.
