'And I mean it comes to something when staying at Center Parcs, the popular forest resorts, during the school holidays works out cheaper than a stay in one of those coveted lodges. Indeed, the one upside of this whole experience has been discovering that Center Parcs isn't quite so unaffordable as I'd always thought.
