"The Lakeside apartments have had a make over since our last visit. Loved the new fresh look. The whole of Center Parcs was well kept and spotlessly clean.
Visited Hucks, Bella Italia and Lakeside restaurants. The food was lovely and service amazing, all the staff we encountered were friendly, happy and professional.
Used the supermarket on site too. Great range of products and good prices. Also lots of gluten free choices. Loved how clean and well presented it was.
Visited the spa for a massage. Again staff were lovely and hot stones massage was amazing. Overheard other customers saying the same.
Thorough enjoyed our stay, weather was mixed but thankfully it's the type of break the weather can't spoil even when it rains.
I like how it is peaceful particularly at night. That's the main attraction for my family and I, relaxing in beautiful surroundings enjoying nature and no rowdy party atmosphere."
Unbeatable short break experience

"CP always delivers a quality short break. From the comfort and privacy of the accommodation, to the wonderful seclusion and beauty of the forest surroundings, to the amazing diversity of the available activities and spa treatments, the whole experience is unbeatable."
Fabulous family break
@Sadie D- May 2024, Whinfell Forest
"Another wonderful break at Whinfell. Lodge spotlessly clean, lovely bed linen and towels. Village centre clean and great atmosphere. Pool and changing room clean. Food excellent in the pub. The most relaxing and peaceful weekend. Already planning our next visit."
"From the moment we booked to the moment we left everything was utter perfection. The facilities are why you book a Centre Parcs holiday but the standards and staff are impeccable. It was my second trip but first for my partner, mother and children and all are already discussing when we can go back.
The weather wasn't reliable but that didn't affect our holiday. With young children we had mostly booked inside activities including the Chestnut Picnic which was a lovely hour which got our 4 year old singing and dancing and also the family interactive squash which was brilliant! Lots of fun and more importantly more memories made. We swam every day at busy times and quieter times but the pool is so efficiently ran that it never felt full. The variety of swimming facilities is incredible and was the main reason we booked as our daughter is swim mad and we wanted her to experience waves and rides. All the staff were brilliant and vigilant on safety.
We had meals out which were all delicious and good value, we'd like to mention Jo at Cafe Rouge who went above and beyond for us.
Also to the two cleaners in Maple and the first responder who dealt with my mum when she had an asthma attack on the last day, ensuring she got to guest services and returned to us accompanying her the whole time.
Our new style Lodge felt brand new and clean with the hot tub being checked daily was appreciated as we had small children using it regularly. On arrival the cot wasn't in the room but this was promptly fixed by guest services."
Awesome
@Sarah H- May 2024, Sherwood Forest
"We hadn’t been to Centre Parcs in a good few years and forgot how much we loved it! Sherwood is beautifully placed, facilities are great and so much to do, you can never get bored!
The pool area is amazing for all ages but now my children are older, they can go on the slides themselves and would spend all day in there if they could. All the staff are so friendly and keep smiling even when busy. The food is also wonderful in Hucks. Next year we are going to Rajinder Pradesh as they smells coming from there were heavenly!
We all loved it and the kids cried when we had to leave!"
Fantastic holiday at Sherwood
@Ross D- May 2024, Sherwood Forest
"All staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful especially the young lady who was our paddle board instructor.
All the activities went smoothly, were fun, as expected and very enjoyable.
All our meals were of a very high standard and excellent service.
Our lodge was clean and tidy and the whole site was too.
We've been to CPs 7/8 times now and we will be back."
"The scenery is beautiful, the apartment we stayed in clean and comfortable. The walks were very enjoyable and seeing the occasional wildlife was so nice to see, it is a lovely place to stay for family. Hucks American bar and grill is brilliant."
Superb
@Cathy H- May 2024, Longleat Forest
"Fabulous. Second year with family. Its lovely that children have the freedom to run, cycle scooter swim and play in such a safe and beautiful place. Will be back again year after year. Swimming pools are clean, safe and fun for any age group. Accommodation in the woodlands is stunning, clean, spacious and has everything you need."
A very enjoyable stay
@Maggie T- Mary 2024, Longleat Forest
"We were very impressed the whole centre. The accommodation was excellent and well equipped.
The pool was lovely and the rapids were great fun. My grandson could get enough of it and spent as long as he could there. The grandchildren enjoyed the activities that they participated in.
We will definitely be returning for another visit."
"First time at Center Parcs and what an amazing experience! My wife, son and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend. Lots to do and keep everyone entertained as well as having a peaceful and relaxing time. Love the family vibe. Subtropical Paradise was fantastic, a fun filled day had by us all."
Mid Week Break
@Justine R- May 2024, Elveden Forest
"Had the best time, plenty to do and plenty of places to eat. We ate in Hucks, Bella Italia, Cafe Rouge and the Indian Restaurant all amazing except the Indian Restaurant which was very disappointing and would not recommend it. Loved all the wildlife the Deers are so tame. All staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the subtropical swimming pool and the Cyclone was so much fun!"

"Could not love the Elveden Forest experience more.Even with over 24 hour rain there's so much to do from the amazing swimming area to the bowling alley and animals a plenty with amazing lodges perfect my me and my husband who live in a flat to have a patio area surrounded by wildlife.This was my 4th visit and there will be plenty more."
"We had a fantastic time at Center Parcs and would highly recommend a visit! I'd previously read and heard that Center Parcs was extremely expensive and that people feel ripped off at every opportunity - however our experience was the total opposite (we did visit during term time so I'm sure holidays are pricier!) and we felt it was all very good value for money when split between three families.
We stayed in an executive lodge which was well worth the upgrade and within close proximity to the plaza and village. Lovely having our own en-suites and the lodge was very clean, well decorated and had everything you needed for a week's stay!
The pool was incredibly clean and wonderfully warm, it felt as though Center Parcs had really thought of every detail - including having a staff member on duty to inflate our baby rings and inflatables before you get in the pool! Would highly recommend getting a cabana if you have little ones as it's nice to have somewhere to feed/change easily.
It was the first time we stayed away from home with our baby - and it was much easier than I anticipated thanks to all that Center Parcs provides! The free Ella's Kitchen baby food in the restaurants is a lovely touch too!"
Amazing holiday
@Luke B - May 2024, Woburn Forest
"Our first trip to any Centre Parcs, with 2 families of 4 sharing a three bed lodge.
Everybody in our party thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay. The lodge was comfortable, with plenty of space for us. I love how each lodge feels so private in the forest. The kids loved watching the deer, squirrels & pheasants on our patio in the mornings.
We did most activities available for 3 to 4 year olds, and they were all very good. All the staff were friendly & efficient.
We ate at Amalfi, Las Iguanas & Pancake house. All waiting staff were friendly & polite. I was very impressed with the free baby food pouches.
The pool is just amazing, with enough to keep the family entertained for many hours each day. It was always warm & clean.
Overall I thought our stay was great value for money, with so many things to do and everything being high quality.
Will definitely be returning to Center Parcs!"
Lovely holiday
@Sami M- May 2024, Woburn Forest
"We spent 4 nights at Woburn and had the most amazing time and will definitely be returning.
We mostly enjoyed the swimming facilities there is something to do for everyone.
There is plenty of restaurants to choose from if you did want to eat out. My little one really enjoyed the family disco that was on a Thursday evening.
The lodge had everything we needed with lots of wildlife around.
Very much recommended."
