"So it was me and my dad who came in October 2024. We arrived and got to our lakeside apartment, we got some visitors at the back door! It’s a lovely room with a kitchen, bathroom, bed, wardrobe and a couch with a Tv. Decently sized for 2 people and a child under 2, we went on the adventure course and it was amazing! It was very secure, there seemed to be 2 Starbucks on sight ( next to the dome center and in the sports center). There are more than 6 restaurants and perfect for picky eaters, it’s good for everyone! You can hire a bike to ride around sight. The swimming pool is amazing with lots of slides, a wave pool and rapids. There are little floating vests for children, the only slide that is very scary is the one that goes outside with the red stairs, as I ended us backwards head first! A little supermarket with lots of food (frozen, bread, etc). Plenty of places to get souvenirs! We also went rollerskating for £10 pp, you get the option to wear knee pads, elbow pads and ones on your hands so you don’t break them. Aqua jetting in the center is amazing, a very good demonstration by the instructor! In a few of restaurants there are soft plays (the best one is in the lakeside inn). There is bowling, canoeing, and much more! In the bath there are jet tubs! The button is above the door, the only thing is that it sometimes doesn’t drain the water out and jets turn on at random times. Thank you center parcs and we will be back!"
Wonderful relaxing get away!
@Scott H- October 2024, Whinfell Forest
"This is our 5th visit to Centre Parcs and we still love it to this day. It has plenty of restaurants and activities for all to do, as well as a massive sub tropic water park suitable for all ages. Our cabin was so nice and modern and being surrounded by trees just helps you relax and fell you are nice and secluded. Although there is a lot of walking, there is still plenty to see along the way, including wild life, activities in action and plenty of hand carved wood sculptures. I would recommend Centre Parcs to families and couples who want a fun yet relaxing trip away."
"We have just returned home from a 4 night break at Sherwood Forest Centre Parcs.
A family of 7 ranging from 71 to 2 years old and we ALL enjoyed our time there. Centre Parcs is SO well organised, everything seems to go without hiccup. Nobody was bored, we met up, had one evening out and also had some time to do our own things. We had an Executive lodge with outside sauna and hot tub to keep the adults happy and a games room to keep us ALL happy. What a wonderful bonding few days with a spa and a really decent meal too at the Country Club. We all hired bikes, us elders the ebikes and a trailer for the little one. Mum to be had a trike and we all managed to get around easily.
Very clean - such a wonderful peaceful place to be - like escaping from the 'real' world. Already booked for next year."
"Do you like amazing holidays? Center Parcs is an amazing holiday resort with lots of things to do. Including a massive plaza with lots of water slides and swimming pools. And it is a great place to ride your bike. Plus there is multiple gourmet restaurants there. I liked the 4 person water slide and the rapids those are some of the many water slides that I really liked at Center Parcs. I really liked riding my bike there because of the beautiful landscape. I would rate it a 9.7 out of 10. The food tasted wonderful, well cooked and decent portions.
Good value, definitely not over priced."
Memories made for the family
@Discover13541594619 - September 2024, Longleat Forest
"From start to finish this holiday was one to remember. Me and my wife loved taking our little girl (2 years old) here. Center Parcs have thought this through so well, it’s an easy fun filled place where we made some amazing memories. The staff were amazing on hand to ensure it was a smooth ride too."
"Me and my partner went here for her birthday as she had always gone as a child and highly recommended it. It was my first time there (as well as my first time going away for a long while) and I can honestly say it was one of my favourite experiences! I felt like a kid again with all the wonder and happiness it made me feel. The staff were so lovely, always smiling and asking us about our days and our experience, the lodge we stayed in was beautiful and I loved having wildlife coming up to our doors and waiting for us to feed them! Squirrels, ducks, even a heron! The pool, the food, the activities (especially the beautiful spa!), the Winter Wonderland, all of it was just perfect! It was the perfect time for our first ever couples holiday and even though the prices were a bit high for some things it is more than worth it! We're already planning to save up to come back next year!! Definitely would recommend to anyone who loves nature and wants to have an amazing time with family or anyone close to you!!"
The break we needed
@Laura.S - November 2024, Elveden Forest
"Thank you so much for the most perfect break, we are absolutely over the moon with how everything went from start to finish, our lodge was absolutely delightful, the swimming pool is pure heaven and spent hours there, and the favourites to eat were hucks and the pancake house. We will be back. Thank you."
Fantastic experience from start to finish - we WILL be back
@garry c - September 2025, Woburn Forest
"To sum up in one word - "amazing". We'd not been before but always fancied it. Very glad we went. The whole experience from start to finish was fabulous - the staff were so helpful, friendly, professional. The food was really good too, especially Cafe Rouge. We did activities each day ; it's a shame we just couldn't fit in any more! The range of activities provided was very good indeed."
A wonderful, fun filled weekend away
@Jo West- October 2024, Woburn Forest
"Absolutely brilliant family weekend away. The lodge was beautiful and clean. We loved every minute! The staff cannot do enough for you and go the extra mile to make sure that your stay is wonderful. They were all so happy and smiley the whole time. Big shout out to Mags in Aqua Sana for her kindness and for security for assisting us with my mobility scooter several times. We are already planning another visit."
