just back from a 5 day break and ready to book again. The family really enjoy coming here even though we end up exhausted by all the activities. We had a three bedroomed new style executive lodge- with a sauna!!! loads of room and really comfortable. The moonlight spa for 2 is unbelievable good value if you book before you... More

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.

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
