Having enjoyed a previous stay at Whinfell 2 years ago, I was extremely disappointed with this holiday. On arrival the smell in the lodge (56 Moorland View) my friend was staying in was so bad,that by 8pm they had to upgrade her to another lodge at the other side of the park.

This was my second time visiting Centerparcs Whinfell Forest after a trip in 2005. I have noticed some changes, but for the most part, the central feature, and what keeps me wanting to return, is the beautiful woodland surroundings. Our party consisted of myself and my fiance, in our early twenties, and my future parents-in-law. Walking through the paths in... more

this was our first visit to the park but it certainly won't be our last. the queues were long on arrival but it was dealt with quickly and efficiently. our lodge was a bit of a disappointment on the outside with cigarette butts lying beside the door and woodwork flaking off but inside more than made up for it. bikes... more

We witnessed quite vicious 'sun lounger rage' at the pool and suffered the worst meal we have ever eaten in the Lakeside Inn. the manager returned our money as though he was well... more

I have been to Center Parcs every year for the last 16 years and have visited all their locations. During this time the ownership of Center Parcs has changed on numerous occasions, Scottish & Newcastle, Deutchbank, Mid Ocean, Arbor and finally Blackstone and this is where the problems have really started to affect the quality of the Center Parcs product.... more
