Whinfell Forest

Best family holiday!

@Claire M- March 2024, Whinfell Forest

"This was our first holiday of a family of 4, travelling with a 6 month old and a 2 year old. Center Parcs have really thought of everything to make your holiday easier and caters for all. We got the bikes with the toddler seat and one with the trailer. Both kids loved these. We had take aways 2 nights and eat in the restaurants the other 2. All meals were delicious! The restaurants offered Ella's kitchen pouches - I’ve never experienced this anywhere and was such a lovely touch. The swimming was amazing and we were in for over 3 hrs and had lunch there too. Our 2 year old done a few activities which he loved but will be better as he gets older as we will 100% be back for more adventures"

Happy place

@racmichelle- March 2024, Whinfell Forest 

"Whinfell, Centre Parcs is beautiful, relaxing, fun, adventurous and has the best restaurants. The new swimming ride, cyclone, is definitely a must do.
So much to do with family and friends.
Comfortable and clean lodges with all the home comforts.
It's definitely our happy place."

Sherwood Forest

Fun, fast but also relaxed

@Anna J- April 2024, Sherwood Forest

"An amazing family fun filled weekend at Sherwood Forest! From the fast paced racing of our kids down the rapids, playing bowls and cycling to a more relaxed morning in the spa, we couldn’t fault any of it. It was what we all needed to recharge our batteries. Loved it all."

Our best visit yet

@SA L- March 2024, Sherwood Forest

"This has become an annual visit for us and every year it’s the best visit. The accommodation was spotless. The restaurants and bars had preorder functionality which is great. The aqua sana is just bliss. The site is so clean and the employees are all so friendly. I’m already booking my next visit having only retuned on Monday. I love that you can have a great time regardless what the weather is. There’s something for everyone. We had the perfect blend of activities and cosy up time in our lodge. Precious memories were made."

Elveden Forest

Fantastic trip to Elveden Forest

@Mrs H- April 2024, Elveden Forest

"I have honestly never been anywhere quite like UK Centreparcs… the staff are unfailingly happy and willing to help and support where needed.. literally nothing is too much trouble for anyone.. their positive attitude gives a fabulous vibe across the whole site. The facilities are incredible. Beautifully equipped lodges, activities for everyone, a well stocked shop so you can abandon your car for a week and not have to worry about driving to supermarkets, restaurants galore.. just so much Elveden Forest is particularly good for anyone with mobility issues as it is very flat, an abundance of wildlife. I truly cannot say enough good things about Centreparcs .. we are addicted and can’t wait to come back. Thank you all so much for the way you make our holiday so enjoyable and memorable. You are truly an amazing bunch working in amazing settings providing 5 star everything"

Super relaxing and fun family Easter break

@ANna K- April 2024, Elveden Forest

"Super relaxing to be in a forest while still been comfortable on a nice house and all facilities so we didn't have to think about how to entertain our 3 and 4 year old kids, we went 2 families sharing a house with sauna. Every morning super cute animals were coming for breakfast in front of our house.The walks throught the forest were amazing with the little ones, we didn't even renter bikes as we were trying to get them to walk more and it worked like a charm! even coming back from the swimming pools all tired, the walk was so nice that they stopped complaining after we left the swimming pool building and been in nature! such a relaxing experience. The spa is the the best one I've been in my whole life, all seeing the surounding, forest.
The activities we've tried were amazing:
- spa
- little explorers (the drive of the mini-land rovers for kids) was amazing
- the pottery studio was such a great quality
- the clubs were engaging for our little girls
- the easter egg hunt
- the swimming pools were great, a bit too noisy inside, but I guess it's impossible to have heated and outdoor in the UK"

Woburn Forest

6th visit at Woburn

@Lisa C - April 2024, Woburn Forest

"This is our 6th visit to center parcs Woburn and it never disappoints. The children love the freedom of bike riding and the smaller village and flatter roads make it easy for them to get around. The swimming pool is excellent and is always the highlight of our trip. We had 3 lodges in a row (which we paid for) but was worth it to be together. The staff on all the activities were super friendly too. I’d highly recommend the 3 hour spa session at the Aqua Sana. Brilliant celebration weekend together!"

Great Easter break

@Kirstie700 - April 2024, Woburn Forest

"Great family reunion. Perfect activities for our wide age range. Lodges were clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Woburn site was small enough to get around easily without a bicycle. The restaurants were also pretty decent value. Would highly recommend the Restaurant Rummer delivery service!"
