We’ve just returned from our second visit to Center Parcs at Whinfell this year and again, had a great time. This time, we stayed for a midweek break in a “new style” 2-bedroom lodge, which was really nicely done out and very cosy. I was very impressed with free wine and chocolates and complementary towels and toiletries. Our lodge was... more

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend with a group of friends (including two babies) in early August. As a group we’ve stayed at both this Centre Parcs and the Sherwood Forest one in the past so we knew what to expect – it’s basically a fun place to stay with family/friends/kids with lots of activities on your... more

Had a holiday here in May this year, with my husband and 3 year old and our baby. We stayed in one of the new style woodland lodges, and were delighted with it. It was stylish and very comfortable and had everything which we would need for our holiday, although I would add that a washing machine would have been... more

We are usually travellers to the Caribbean but since having our daughter last December we decided on somewhere nearer home! Had been recommended Centre Parcs by several people so gave it a go and have to say we weren't disappointed. We stayed on a midweek break after the school holidays so it was busy but not so bad. We stayed... more

We visited Whinfell this Summer with friends. Two families of 4 with 2 teenagers and 2 pre-teens sharing a 4 bedroomed refurbished woodland cottage. Our 4 day break was very good value as we booked it the previous January and with 2 families sharing it was just a couple of hundred pounds per family. We were all very impressed with... more

We have stayed at Centerparcs at Elveden a couple of times in the past when the children were a bit younger, and they loved it. This was our first venture with them as teenagers (14 and 16), and we also took two of their friends, which turned out to have been a very good decision as they amused themselves happily... more

Center Parcs could be fantastic, there are alot of activites on offer and a great place to visit with the family. It is badly let down by the exorbent prices it charges for all the activites and the could do with some care and attention. We visited in August 09, and stayed in an executive apartment. Although quite clean, the... more

Whinfell is well hidden from the rest of the world. The signopost from the A66 is discrete. I 've driven past before and not noticed it. However a mile down the track and you are confronted with what looks like a customs post or a prison camp entrance. However you are speedily through and then into a huge car patk... more
