Brilliant, needs some changes.

“Brilliant, needs some changes.”

I am a huge fan of center parcs, and have been visiting since i was a child. I stayed in the Lakeside Apartments which was a studio.
The sofa is comfy, the beds brilliant, the television and sound system good and the kitchen was absolutely fine, but at a place like this how much time are you actually going to spend in your room?!
The only problem was no chopping board, but i went to guest services asked if there should be one, and we had one dropped off within 45 minutes.
The forest is obviously well maintained, no litter anywhere. The activities are high prices, but what do you expect in a place like this, there are cheaper ones which will certainly keep you entertained though!
We did horse riding, tennis, kayaking, bowling, and some inflatable run on water thing (sort of like zorbing).
The swimming pool is full of things to do, my boyfriend and i easily spent 2 hours in there a day. Water slides (not just for kids!), jacuzzi, spa pool, outdoor pool, rapids, wave pool, lane pool. The only problem here is that there are some area which desperately need cleaning. They are in the same condition as two years ago, and some areas it was obvious people were avoiding.
As for restaurants, i eat breakfast at cafe rouge, lunch at the lakeside inn (carvery which desperately needs improvements), lunch at refresh and tea at yang, which i highly recommend.
All in all, beautiful place with a magical atmosphere which just needs a few tweaks.
