Went to Centre parcs for the first time and was very disappointed with the attitude of the Guest Services. On arrivail we were allocated cabin Beechwood 27 and having unpacked and settled in with our daughter and her 3month old child along with her husband and my wife (whose benefit this was for her 60 th Birthday) we then had...

If you are considering Center Parcs then you are likly to be going with children and I have no doubt you'll all have a great time. I had my reservations before booking thinking it was going to be a posh Butlins but we had a wonderful time and will definately be going back soon. Travelling with just myself, my husband... More

All the lodges are great - some under going needed renovation. We always book a new style woodland lodge 4 bedroomed and it is very roomy for 7... More

I have visited Sherwood before, but this was my first visit to Whinfell and our first visit as a family; we were not disappointed. We had a comfort plus detatched lodge, that was in good order, I was a little bit concerned as I'd read some less than complimentary reviews, but we had no problems at all. The beds were... More

Not for the first time, I can recommend Centre Parcs as a great place to unwind and relax, especially at this time of year. Whinfell Forest is a beautiful area - especially in the frosty mornings, but inside the venues is always warm and welcoming. More

When the children grew up we visited once when the children where into late teens. For the last 3 years My husband and the grown up family and my Grandaughter have... More

Our lodge was filthy dirty, I think only the beds had been changed and even after telling the customer services and promised another(?) clean the following day, this didn't happen. All of the 3 children in our party came down with ear and eye infections the day after we visited the pool (one had to visit the local A&E), we... More

This is the 6/7th time at Whinfell and still really enjoy. We had a mixed age group from 4yrs to 75yrs old and something for everyone whatever your ability. All in all it is a happy place (villa a bit tired but hopefully they will all soon be re-furbished). Good value for money, especially at this time of the year. More
