Good for families

Great family break for New Year

We stayed for 4 nights over the New Year period and had an amazing time. The site is perfectly located and walking into Longleat is quick and easy (exit the site, turn left and walk for 30m!). We were impressed with how family focussed Longleat is. You expect the animals but everything has the family in mind, such as the Chinese lantern display, early fireworks display (6.30pm) and even the house which has fairytale characters (real life actors) in each room to entertain the children. Our 3 year old son loved the Chinese lanterns and the considerable investment that Longleat had put into their inaugural display was definitely worth it. The safari park is also great fun even if our car left the monkey enclosure without the roof bar capping that it started with! Ticketing was under focus when we were there because there had been concerns about people abusing the ability to walk into the park and by-passing Guest Services to buy a ticket. Please don't spoil this privilege for the majority. The Longleat staff are very helpful and identified the cheapest way for us to buy the tickets we needed for an evening to see the lantern display and fireworks (note that twilight tickets are only available on certain days) and another day for the safari and other attractions. A short-term multi-day pass for Caravan clubbers would be a win-win for Longleat and the Caravan Club. In addition to the location, the site was well laid out with good facilities which are kept clean by the hard working staff. Our son also really enjoyed the play area. The wardens were always extremely helpful and I appreciated their assistance, particularly as this was our first time touring. We've already pencilled in a return trip with friends for next year!
