    Have been to center parcs for every year for about 8 years, Lately we have been to one in holland. But back to Elveden. I love this place, most years we stay in the basic villa. This is always in perfect condition, its very clean, everything worked and it was perfect. We have also stayed in the next villa up and that was so nice. I and my dad both play golf so we make use of the lovely golf course. The pool is clean and very entertaining. It has two flumes and a massive white slide and also the rapids. All of this is included in the basic pack. Then there is the option if the extra activities, the staff there are always very kind and helpful. The food from the restaurants is probably the best i have had. The food from the market is a bit expensive but that is to be expected. The sports should be booked in advanced as they get booked quick.

    I Hope you enjoy your stay at center parcs

    We just return from the Elveden Forest Centre Parcs that was a lovely relaxing holiday we enjoyed the wildlife and it was very peaceful and quiet. The swimming pool was great and we find it was lots of fun. The hot tubs worked only 1 out of the 4 days a bit disappointed it that. We stayed in oak villa we expected it a bit cleaner than it was there was sweets papers underneath the twin bedroom beds, the hot tap in the basin wasn't working and there was just enough cold water in the tap to brush ...

    We have been to Centre Parcs on a number of occaisions but we were very disapointed with Elveden as it appears they have not kept up with the general maintenance. The Comfort Plus villa had many faults, as did the Subtropical paradise with lots of things not working (two out of 12 hairdryers working). Starbucks seems to have a concession there but the quality of the coffee was abysmal, as was the service.
    We will not be going back to centre parcs again as these many problems spoilt the holiday. ...

    Have just returned from a week at Elveden with the kids and grandparents. Stayed in a woodland lodge which was very clean and comfortable. Staff were pleasant and helpful. We hired a "duet" as grandma is mildly disabled, once we got the hang of it it was great to include her in cycling around the forest.
    We ate out a lot which can be very expensive, but only the same way that eating out every night is always expensive.Best value portions was the Foresters Inn and best quality food was Cafe Rouge ...

    I found Center Parcs, Elveden Forest was a great holiday, the highlight of my holiday was the cable ski and the aqua sana but it's nice to be surrounded by nature. I saw many animals including, ducks, swans, rabbits, dear, a heron and even a peacock!

    Overall I would deffinatly say this was a great holiday although the villas were not as clean as I would have hoped. I would liked to have been informed of the american air base nearbye before the holiday but this wasn't much of a problem as we wer ...

    Just been to Elvedon Forest and had a great time, we stayed in a woodlnad lodge which was very nice but i think the decor makes it look dark but apart from that it was great. we had a deer on the patio and we were feeding it off our hands so that was great!

    The swimming pool is just amazing, we just couldn't stop going down the rapids. we had a special money off code so all he acivities for us were very resanoably priced and so was the villa (just over £1000 for the week)

    I love playing ...

    Elveden Forest was a fantastic well run center. Not everywhere is perfect so it had its downfalls such as the leaves and dirt that had gathered at the floor of the swimming pool, the accomodation was okay but could have been cleaned better. The activities were so much fun and that is definitly one of center parcs strengths. Overall I very much enjoyed this center parcs and encourage coupes or families to visit!

    Just returned from a week at Center Parcs, Elveden Forest for the first time with my partner and 6 month old son, was a little worried that a week would be too long but actually it was great, plenty to do during the day even with a baby and especially if you are sports fans, bowling and swimming was fun although thought the bowling was a bit pricey at £25 for an hours play. Stayed at the Lakeview hotel which was nice, clean and quite spacious also close to everything so no bikes were need ...

    Just got back from a mid week break at Elveden forest, we stayed in an executive 3bdr lodge, was very nice, outdoor sauna was great, beds were very comfortable.

    Centre Parcs its was very nice, we booked all our activities upon arrival and found there were spaces left for everything. Could do with an outdoor pool area like longleat, restaurants were very good, staff were great and friendly.

    Aqua sauna world of spa - £26 for 3 hours of bliss, breakfast at the revolving restaurant - great ...

    well me and my hubby have just come back from our upteenth time at center parcs elvedon....and cant wait to go back next year!! we LOVE it.

    for the last three years we've stayed at the lakeview hotel...the sort of hotel accomodation we expect...good sized room, seating area, plenty of wardrobe space, dvd player and stereo. it was a bonus having free wi fi access as we wanted to stay in contact with our daughter who was holidaying in australia on her own! theres no cooking facilities in the room ...

    The Rapids at Elveden Forest Center Parc are under repair for a month as from today!!! Luckily just got back today but was very annoyed that our last day was spoilt and no notice was given! Neither tunnel slide was working either so the pool area was really packed!

    Moan over, and I have sent an email of complaint to center parcs so will be interesting to see their reply, we otherwise had a great weekend. Went with husband and two children ages 11 and 9 and another family group.

    Arrived at ...

    Center Parcs Elveden Forset Suffolk, is great to take the family to. It has some advetures things which do cost, but most probaly is. The Swimming pool in the heart if the forest, it has great things to do [i.e shoot the rapids and explore the other water shoots]. You would love center parcs, and should go, i reccomend you to stay in cedar in a 'Woodland lodge', this is an exclusive one which has loads of great features. Remember: not to book comfort as this has nothing, no towels , no dvd playe ...

    Thought Center Parcs, Elveden Forest was great on the first day and thought our three nights wouldn't be long enough, however by the second day we knew it would be. Must book everything in advance, and really plan your trip or be disappointed, such as pony rides which were all booked up 5 days before.

    The place we had was functional with all basics provided, you have a shop there a bit like a mini tescos. Great swimming pool and baby\toddler section. Lovely forest with rabbits, squirrels ...

    Had our first family holiday at Eleveden Centre Parcs. Four adults and 4 small children. We booked two new wood lodges.
    Think bike riders should be forced to ride on left side of paths leaving right hand side for walkers. Family almost had a nasty accident when a bike rider ran into two members.

    Lodges very clean and well equipped. Plenty wildlife to excite our two year olds. Had meal in american diner which was good and not too expensive.

    Just got back from a week in Center Parcs Elveden - and must say, it was miles better than I was expecting. I was a bit worried reading some of the reviews on the 'net about this location, but I think some people must be incredibly fussy, or just very unlucky.It CAN be expensive, but only as expensive as you make it. If you hold out for good offers on the accomodation and be sensible with your spending (take own food, dont do too many activities etc), then its very reasonable.We stayed in a new ...

    Center Parcs, Elveden Forest have Beautiful surroundings, loved the wildlife - rabbits, squirrels and deer.Nice decor in lodge but when you look closer it is dirty.stains on rug,they want you to clean when you leave. Staff grumpy.With exception of 1 or 2, the staff don't crack a smile.
    Accommodation OK but i expect more for the money.There is no entertainment (evening) unless you pay for it. I did and it was absolutely rubbish. If you do book evening shows don't expect much, it's similar to wh ...

    Stayed in Executive Villa at Center Parcs, Elveden Forest. One of the bathrooms needed re-grouting, kitchen was only big enough for 3 and so basic you could not cook a meal in it. In fact Very disappointing. would have been better in a Comfort or Comfort Plus. To top it all the last night we saw a mouse in the kitchen which ran behind the dishwasher - so far as to say we would not be staying their again.
    Rest of site was very clean and sports plaza/pool great.
