As said, it's not cheap.
However we've been most years for the last 6 or so.
My mum arranges 2 lodges to cover for us 4 kids of hers and our 5 grandkids between us plus partners.
From that perspective it's great, the kids get to run around and play in the pool in a safe place.
There's plenty to do, and at night we tend to do a lads night, girls night, date night and family night out so everybody gets a break from baby sitting!
Edit: One example of how good it is for kids, the Pancake House in Penrith were happy for the 5 kids (5-9 in age) to go and have a meal on their own as long as I stayed next door in Starbucks.
They loved the independence of being able to go and order and pay for their own meal.
