    Bad Points: Needs larger outdoor pool area, needs more evening entertainment other than bars and restaurants.

    General comments: 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 views and food. Comfortable accomodation, wildlife is everywhere and quite friendly. Elveden is very flat so it makes it very pleasant to walk around. Overall, a great 5 days.

    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 ...

    We've been lots of times to center parcs since 1992 as a family . we now go with our grown up son and daughter & their partners for weekend breaks . often recommending it to other families. we've have just returned from a fantastic weekend at elevden forset ~ this was the first time we took a dog. So had to book villathat is designated for pets/dogs ~ not so good .

    23/3/09 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.

    Loads to do. Safe for the kids to ride thier bikes due to cars not being allowed on to site. Dont need to spend lots to enjoy the facilities. Almost domesticated wildlife. Bad weather doesnt affect the holiday. Our holiday in Center Parcs, Elveden Forest was in February so off peak and reasonably priced. we had a comfort villa which was spacious and had everything you need. this type of villa doesnt have a DVD player but there are 12 channels, we had wildlife on our patio everyday includ ...

    Center Parcs, Elveden Forest, have good activities and excellent staff who are enthusiastic about their sports. Our accomodation was dirty (cobwebs, strange smells, oven covered in grease and heavily stained, dirt pushed under rug). We had our locked bikes stolen, staff not very sympathetic we were just quoted terms and conditions ,think very carefully before taking your own bikes and lock them in bike parks with CCTV.

    We stayed at Center Parcs Elveden Forest. I would definitely like to go again and would say that Centre Parcs is the best UK holiday I've had for ages! I understand the need to keep cars off site, but would warn people with young children or with walking/mobility problems to take this into consideration before booking. Everywhere is a fair hike away, but this keeps the surroundings nice and allows the widlife to thrive.

    Went in 2008 and stayed in the executive lodge at Center Parcs, Elveden Forest It was fab there was 8 people in the lodge and 2 infants and would recommend...however went this year 2009 and stayed in the same accom (just over the road to be exact) and the place was filthy, mucky floor, broken ps3, broken bath, missing remotes, not enough crockery for 8 people, damp in living areas. The Parc map was wrong as they had removed activites they no longer do. Good points were aubtropical swimming pool ...

    I would reccomend Center Parcs, Elveden Forest holiday for familys with children ranging from 2-15 ish a great break for everyone. Lots to do such as paintballing, climbing walls, golf, tenis, classes. the swiming pool is great full of rapinds slides and a wave machine. no cars, peaceful great atmosphere Slighty pricey (but worth it) the lower price acommodation isnt that nice e.g decor i would recommend paying more for better accomodation. the fact that u have bike every where but i didnt re ...

    Great Fun for all the family! Center Parcs Elveden forest is most probaly the best UK family park to go to, there is friendly and welcoming staff. And the activites are fab, I recommend you center parcs, maybe just for 2 people or maybe a whole family! It's where memories are made! My particular bad point is the service on food in resturants, it nearly took 1hour+ when our food was served. Center Parcs is the best hoilday resort for familys in the Uk and europe. I 99.9% recommend center parcs, ...
