Explore baby and toddler-friendly holidays

Amazing!

@Abigail C - September 2023, Whinfell Forest

We have just returned from our first holiday at Center parcs as a couple with a 11 month old.

Check in was really easy, we arrived around 1pm and headed straight to the cycle Centre for our bikes, we hired 2 bikes - 1 had a toddler seat on the back. The only thing I would say about this is whinfell isn’t flat, lots of hills so as people who don’t usually cycle we found this quite challenging! Probably won’t rent them again but that’s just our preference! Getting the cycles and returning was super easy.

We went to the subtropical swimming paradise every day - our baby loved the toddler splash park and the wave pool. We ate at the cafe one day but tbh it wasn’t amazing (except the chips!) and quite expensive but I suppose it’s personal taste!

We went to Bella italia and hucks. Both where lovely, I had the best burger I’ve had in my life at hucks so I 100% recommend you try it! I don’t know how it has any negative reviews.

Overall and amazing break, the day we got home we also booked for next year!

Second visit and a lifetime more to go! <3

@Sabrinarh91 - May 2023, Sherwood Forest

This is the second time my partner and I have stayed here, this time we was joined with our lovely little baby. We have made a pact that we will visit every year now and make it our new family tradition!

There is something for ALL ages and the only thing I would change is to make time go slower as the week just flew by.

I would like to mention that the staff (everywhere) are so welcoming and friendly and I think that can really make or break a holiday. There was one girl in particular who worked in the toy shop who was super lovely but sadly I didn’t catch her name (working afternoon 22/5/23)

Sadly I left a couple of things behind in our lodge but Guest Services were so wonderful and have been able to recover and post it back to us.

I’ll stop going on now but I’ll add some photos of our stay and the CUTE wildlife!

Thank you Sherwood CP for being the first and best holiday for a baby girl, we can’t wait to come back every year! xx

Great time had by all

@Little bird- March 2023, Sherwood Forest

We had a short break at Centre Parc Sherwood, to enjoy a family get together and celebrate the youngest member’s first birthday. Everyone had a great time, most especially the 4yr old who found everything magical . The chalet was clean, spacious and comfortable. As we have 2 babies in the family, a second cot and high chair was provided. We all enjoyed the tropical swimming pool, as well as cycle rides, walking, even able to enjoy a play on the beach. Fabulous long weekend, already planning our next visit!

Great family break

@pink fairy - March 2024, Longleat Forest

Lovely family mid week. All staff we came into contact with were helpful, polite and courteous.
Lodge clean and very comfortable, enough space for 6 and a baby.
All public areas clean and welcoming.
Great fun in the swimming pool, lots of slides and the rapids were such fun!
Will definitely return!

Fun for the whole family

@Rachel S - February 2023, Longleat Forest

So much fun for the whole family. In our party there were 5 adults, a teenager and 2 babies under 2. I can honestly say there was something for everyone and we all loved every minute. Staff were particularly friendly and helpful. We can not wait to go back.

A wonderful break

@218491 - March 2023, Elveden Forest

First time visiting Center Parcs - really relaxing, lots to do and family friendly. A wonderful setting and we can’t wait to return. It was our first trip away with our baby and everything we could possible need was on hand, can’t recommend enough.

Quality family time

@Chloe L - February 2023, Elveden Forest

We’re a family of 2 adults and a 5 month old baby. This was our first family holiday and first time visiting Center Parcs and we had the most amazing time! The check-in / check-out process was very easy and straightforward. We stayed in Oak 943 and had lots of wildlife visit every day…from deer, squirrels, robins and blue tits! We took a window bird feeder that stuck on the window (definitely recommend getting one of these) and lots of bird seed, berries, monkey nuts etc. The facilities on site were brilliant, especially the Subtropical Swimming Paradise! We went swimming everyday and loved it. We also done adventure golf, bowling, pottery painting, badminton and sensory baby. The Winter Forest Lights were magical and each evening we loved walking through them. I couldn’t fault a thing. We had breakfast at Pancake House on our first morning which was delicious. We also ate at Rajinda Pradesh and Huck’s which were lovely. All the staff were polite, friendly and super helpful. Overall we had a lovely family holiday and we’re already looking at booking for next year. I think we may now have the bug for it! 💗

Amazing Family Holiday at Center Parcs Woburn

@lisaranson - September 2023, Woburn Forest

What an amazing holiday! Center Parcs Woburn is fantastic. Not only is it clean, tidy and well run it offers so much fun for everyone no matter what age.
We went for 4 nights family holiday and had the best time. Our lodge was well equipped and spacious. The beds were super comfy. The lodge was located in the wood so we had the joy of watching the deer, birds and squirrels playing around outside our window. Every lodge has a BBQ area in a secluded garden and we made the most of that.
My 4 year old son took part in 3 activities; Explorer driving, jet skis for juniors and Fun Football Factory. He enjoyed them all but especially loved the driving activity. Was well run and perfect for his age group.
I myself indulged in a spa treatment. I was overwhelmed by how big and lovely the Spa was when I arrived. It was so luxurious inside and I highly recommend a little pampering if you go!
The restaurants on site were great! We had a delicious meal at Hucks American Grill. They had a large soft play area inside the restaurant perfect for little ones who prefer to play.
They had playground scattered all over the park and I noticed they even had a dedicated dog play area too which I thought was a nice touch.
The highlight for my family was the Subtropical Paradise swimming pool. How much fun! Slides, wave pool, lazy river and just so much fun for all ages. Well monitored by lifeguards especially with little ones around. Felt safe!
Guest Services were great! My baby needed medical assistance and the first aiders Sarah and Charlotte were absolutely fabulous. They tended to my baby all the while keeping me calm and supported and ordering a pizza for my other son as we were just going out for dinner. Sadly we had to go to hospital but were home the next day. They couldn’t do enough to ensure we got out and back into the park quickly and smoothly. I am eternally grateful for their care.
The park is stunning! Location is perfect. There’s a supermarket on site which is fully stocked and just great! Plenty of treats; Starbucks coffee shops, ice cream parlours, sweet shop and other shops. We loved Joules!
Hand on heart I can say it was a fantastic holiday even with our little scare in the middle. Couldn’t ask for friendlier more helpful staff all over the park. It was super clean and just well run. We highly recommend and we will definitely return.
