We visited with 5 children aged between 8 and 11. We can't wait to go back. The Sub Tropical Swimming Paradise is fantastic fun, and there are more than enough activities to chose from to keep an active family busy. The accommodation is good quality, clean and comfortable . You can barbeque and self cater, but if you want to... More

Just returned from our 3rd midweek break at whinfell and as usual cant wait to go back. We normally stay in Badger Wood but this time we needed larger accommodation so took the luck of the draw and were given New Style Woodland lodge at Beechwood, lodge itself was immaculate and private. Quite a lengthy walk to centre and sports... More

It was an opportunity for my husband and I to spend time away with our two daughters (23 and 21). The lodge was great and had everything we needed. The activities seemed expensive but I would say that the aqua sana packages are very good value for money and the facilities are gorgeous. My daughter and I did the sub... More

Booked up for four days at Whinfell Forest with the wife and two children (4&1). Impressed with the initial surrounds and booking in system, and drove up to my accommodation. We liked the look of the place, and no major faults identified, except the gaping hole behind the toilet, and mouse droppings in a cupboard below the sink where pots... More

A beautiful location that offers excellent accomodation that is maintained to a high standard. There is plenty to do for all the family and children of all ages are catered for. The staff provide excellent service and they are all very friendly especially Daniel in the Sports Plaza. I will definately return. Thankyou Centerparcs foe a brilliant holiday. More

We are regular visitors to Center Parcs and in our opinion the centre is in need of refurbishment and a good management team to review what customers are actually experiencing for their money. We went away for a special weekend and upgraded to a luxury lodge, which had a mucky rug in the lounge and bathroom floor was sticky.The main... More

We stayed here in mid may 2012 and paid extra to be near to the pool area, which we all thought was fine. The accommodation was spacious and very well designed...(4 bed executive lodge). There is certainly plenty to do despite the weather not being good at all..... However, we all thought the prices charged in the restaurant a bit... More
