What's the difference between the Comfort, Comfort Plus and Executive?
To discover more about our villas and lodges and the different facilities and services that you can enjoy with each type, please click here.

Can I book more than one villa/lodge?
Yes, you can. Select the number of villas/lodges you require during Step 2 of the booking process (Up to a maximum of three). Simply select the number of villas you require from the drop-down menu when prompted with the question 'how many lodges do you require?’ If you want to book more than 3 villas please call our Reservation Team on 08448 267723. Please bear in mind that if you book different types of accommodation, they probably won't be next to one another. This is because villas, lodges and apartments are grouped together in different sections around the village.

Will my accommodation be exactly the same as the ones featured in your brochure or on your website?
The pictures used in our brochures and on our website are for illustrative purposes only. In addition, although we try hard to make sure your accommodation is similar to that shown, some villas, lodges and apartments may differ in age and furnishings.

Do I need to bring my own sheets and bedding?
The only bedding you'll need to bring is cot linen if you require it. All your beds will be made up with fresh linen when you arrive. So if you need a lie down after a long journey, go right ahead!

Return to top

Do I need to bring my own towels?
You only need to bring your own bath towels if you're staying in one of our Comfort Villas. If you book a Comfort Villa, you can add the hire of towels as an ‘extra' to your booking. You can do this during the online booking process. However, whatever type of villa you're staying in, please remember to bring your own towels for the pool – our towels like to stay in the bathroom.

Is there an iron and ironing board in my villa, lodge or apartment?
Ironing, whilst on holiday? It's probably the last thing you want to think about! But rest assured, if your shirt or skirt has post-suitcase creases, you can get rid of them. There are irons and ironing boards in all types of accommodation, except Comfort Lodges and Villas.

Can we bring our own video/DVD player/game console to plug into the TV?
You're going to have a fantastic time at Center Parcs – there's so much to see and do. Many of our accommodation types include CD and DVD players, so we advise against bringing your own. Most of our guests seem happy with this policy, choosing to spend most of the time out and about with their families and loved ones.

Please remember that any available sockets in your accommodation won't have been electrically tested for equipment like this, which means any accident as a result of using it would be your responsibility. Furthermore, your items will not be covered if they are stolen. We highly recommend that all electrical items you wish to bring are PAT tested before using them within Center Parcs.

Do villas or lodges have videos or DVD players?
Many of our accommodation types include CD and DVD players for your use, as well as multi-channel TVs with a wide range of terrestrial and satellite channels.

Do all villas allow dogs?
Dogs are welcome at Center Parcs although there is a maximum of two per villa. Please check if we have a specifically designated accommodation available for the time of your stay. You can check this during step 2 of the online booking process or by calling our Reservations Team on 08448 267723.

It costs £55 for one dog and £80 for two and this cost will be added on during the online booking process.

Do you supply baby furniture?
Center Parcs provides a cot and high chair in two, three and four bedroom accommodation, if you require a cot or highchair for a one bedroom accommodation please contact the call centre.

Additional cots and highchairs can also be hired for a small charge by calling the Call Centre on 08448 267723

Can I park outside my villa?
One of the greatest things about a Center Parcs village is that it's a car-free zone! You can, however, park outside your villa when you're unloading your car at the start of your holiday. When you're finished, you must park your car in the main village car park. Think of it as a holiday for your car – and the environment. Certain accommodation types do come with their own private car parking spot. To find out more click here or contact the call centre for advice on 08448 267723.

What parking facilities are there for disabled guests?
If you're one of our disabled guests, you can leave your car outside your villa, providing that it is one of our specially adapted villas. There are also clearly marked disabled parking zones that give you easy access to where you're staying. Alternatively, we will happily pick you up from where you park your car and take you to your villa. Our shuttle service runs from 8am - Midnight at Sherwood Forest, Elveden Forest and Longleat Forest. At Whinfell Forest, the service runs from 8am - 11pm.

I am disabled; can I use my car on site?
Unfortunately, due the need to limit traffic on our villages we do not generally allow use of vehicles on site. We provide a mobility service (a wheelchair accessible coach) which is available on request via guest services. Further information is available by clicking on the following link www.centerparcs.co.uk/dda.

What time do we have to leave our villa when our holiday is over?
We ask our guests to vacate their accommodation by 10 am on the morning of departure. This gives us time to get the villa ready for the next guests.

 

Return to top

Should I lock my villa, lodge or apartment when I go out?
Yes, although we do our utmost to provide a safe and secure environment for you and your family, it's still important to be careful. We also advise checking that your accommodation is locked when you arrive and letting us know right away if it's not.
