Our 2nd visit to whinfell however this time was for our daughters 1st birthday & 1st holiday! Can’t thank the staff enough for making it so special. Cleaning staff for writing a happy birthday message on the board for our daughter on our arrival! We didn’t request anything, they just did it! A lush surprise!

Family gathering
@Barry C- July 2023, Whinfell Forest
Fantastic facilities for all. Loved the no cars on site which gives a much quieter, relaxed feel to your holiday. Little girl loved the park and swimming complex, she had a ball!!
3 bed Woodland Lodge we rented was ideal apart from no toilet in shower room (look closely at floor plan).
All in all we will definitely be back.
We visited Center Parcs Sherwood as a family with two young grandchildren , we had a wonderful weekend , the lodge was comfortable and clean , we loved the swimming and pancake house , the activities with the little ones were reasonably priced as was the bowling and adventure golf , we will definitely visit again
Had a fantastic time

Loved our little family holiday, celebrating our daughters 1st Birthday. Had alot of fun and was surrounded by beautiful trees and wildlife 🥰
I would definitely recommend having a holiday at Center Parcs!
We had a mid week break taking our 2 year old granddaughter,over the years we’ve had many great holidays here . This was no exception, the villa was excellent, comfortable, roomy and well equipped. There has been considerable changes in parts of, all for the good , there are several excellent play areas for children of all ages , we trued her with roller skating , mini football neither of which she’d ever done before . The staff running the courses were brilliant , happy , professional and really put the very young children at ease , the dome offers great water experiences for all ages , but may get very crowded at peak times . Good choice of restaurants and the parc market which is now co-op offers a large variety of foods etc at reasonable prices . All in all a great few days .
LOVED IT XX

Just on our way back from a wonderful weekend at Center Parcs, 6 off including a toddler and a 7 year old and our dalmatian. We had an amazing time. Parc was fantastic (although hilly!) But you can make use of the land train which was helpful.
Special thanks to the staff member who stopped in his van just to give our dog a treat! Made us all smile that he had taken the time to stop and speak to us and fuss our dog.
Staff on the mini Land rover experience were also terrific too.
We ate in Hucks restaurant and the sports bar, both lovely and ordered food from Indian and Chinese takeaway to our lodge that was very nice and convenient too.
My kidd loves the pool and many parks, beach and lake watching the fish was also a hit.
We also made use of the location and visited Longleat Zoo, highly recommend the visit. We couldn't visit all the attractions in one day, so if we had stayed longer would of returned. The Koalas and sloths up close were worth the visit on its own! Loved it.
Cabin had all amenities, couldn't fault the park in anyway. My toddler loved waving at the people abs driver on the land train as they passed too.
Will be rebooting one of the Center parcs locations for next year on our return home!
We had a lovely family weekend. We stayed during the 'Forest Lights' period and everywhere looked fabulous after dark. Pool brilliant and kept toddler amused for ages. The mini ropes were a lovely activity for the wee one. We all enjoyed cycling around the village and the daily visits to our patio by the muntjac deer was a highlight. We'll be back!
Fantastic fun filled family break
@Sally H - May 2023, Elveden Forest
We all had a wonderful holiday, our ages range from 63 years down to two years and there really was something for everyone; baby ballerina , Little dolphins and toddler football for my granddaughter and of course lots of fun in the swimming pools, for the adults; kayaking, and badminton along with swimming, walking in the beautiful woodlands and eating out at different restaurants in the evenings. Our accommodation was clean, stocked with everything that we needed with lots of room to move around. The parc market was handy and had everything we needed , and we all enjoyed the Starbucks ! I would recommend Centerparcs to anyone wanting to get together with friends and family for a relaxing and funfilled break . I have already booked for next year x
As a young family with a 2 year old, it’s faultless! I was worried because we only live 30 minutes away- that it wouldn’t feel like a “holiday” but wow was I wrong!!!
The minute you arrived it felt like a completely secluded new place. My husband was saying he felt like he was abroad.
On arrival the ladies in the check in desk were friendly and welcoming. They explained everything I needed to know and automatically felt at ease.
The lodge- wow. Beautiful!! It was modern, clean, tidy and had everything we needed!
The maintenance staff of the lodge were helpful and quickly brought a bed for our toddler without any issues and were more than happy to help us!
The restaurants were great, pancake house and hucks even had indoor play areas which was great for keeping my little one entertained between wait for food. (Not that there was a wait!)
Every single worker we met was fautless and really made our stay enjoyable.
Engaging activities for our toddler; swimming was fantastic too so we were never left wondering what to do next. (We wish we had stayed for 7 nights)
The private sauna in our three bed executive lodge was a beautiful edition to the lodge.
I think it was great value for money actually. The supermarket too was lovely and had everything you could need should you want extra snacks food; or have forgotten anything.
Stress free family first holiday
@Julia H - July 2023, Woburn Forest
Lovely cosy first family holiday with our toddler. Executive 3 bed lodge was warm and clean and spacious with everything we needed. We bought more than we needed at the shop as we didn’t realise they even provide a sponge and washing up liquid and extra bin liner wrapped in the cleaning towel at the kitchen sink! Baby facilities are amazing, buggy parks everywhere and great microwave/bottle warmer and Ella’s kitchen sachets at sports cafe. Lovely play areas and activities and friendly staff. Everywhere is kept clean and immaculate. We enjoyed our log burner and the barbecue in the garden too!
We asked the Howell family to tell us about their weekend break at Center Parcs. From slipping and sliding down the Wild Water Rapids to a delicious meal at The Pancake House. Find out what there family of six plus nanny Christine got up to during their break
