Stay

Center Parcs

The lodge village in Longleat Forest — overnight next to the safari, not a day ticket.

Checked September 2026.

About Center Parcs

Center Parcs Longleat Forest is the stay, not the safari. Lodges, the Subtropical Swimming Paradise, bikes in the woods. Frome people treat it as a short-break, not a Tuesday afternoon.

Book on Center Parcs’ own site. Longleat safari tickets are a separate till on longleat.co.uk.

Take a battery pack. You will still want the UK SIM for maps around the village.

Where: Longleat Forest — a hop from BA11

Shop type: Short-break lodges
