Very Clean Villa. On site supermarket isn't that expensive. Even though the activities are quite expensive, I would definitely go there again. When it rained a lot of tiny frogs came into the villa so we complained and gave us a £60 onsite restaurant voucher. Activities are quite pricey.

Easy access, friendly staff. Not enough bar staff. Very enjoyable break at Center Parcs, Longleat Forest, would go back anytime of the year

To achieve there max rental let out sub standard faulty lodges

Customer services frugal on there level of compensation for the cost of holiday

Box again they want over £1000 with a discount on offer of £82
Will write to CEO

The accommodation was warm and comfy, it was reasonably clean. We had a dripping tap in the kitchen, which we reported, by the time we had coffee and cycled back it had been repaired!! Hills and weather, neither of which could be changed.
The changing rooms for the pool are a bit of a nightmare.
People who had taken their own bikes, but not lights very scary.
There was a daily visit by ducks, squirrels and rabbits, and even on one occasion a deer. I thought it would have been a good idea to inc ...

We booked a 7 day break and were pretty annoyed that one of these days [swapover day for midweek to weekend breaks] things were either closed or not running. A day of our holiday where we were pretty much in limbo and even the plaza was hugely overcrowded due to an overlap of guests. The rapids were far from rapid but the children loved the children's slides and pool in general but it perhaps needs to be bigger as even more accommodation is being added to center parcs.

The children are encouraged to have fun out doors in the fresh air. I have been there a number of times and the only disappointing part of the break is departure day!!!!!!!! If you have a large family it can be very expensive for all the activities!!! Would totally recommend the short breaks for young and old!!!!

Having been to Elveden and Sherwood Centre Parcs we were excited to be able to book accommodation over February half term. (4 adults, 2 teenagers) We were informed that the Sprundal pool would be closed for this week . On arrival we were surprised to find that it was very hilly in some places and that the activities were very spread out. Some areas of the park are off limits to cyclists and although we appreciate the safety risks, with two teenagers part of the fun is riding down steep hills. W ...

Having visited Center Parcs at Nottingham over a decade ago, had fond memories and now with a toddler, wished to go again. Visited Longleat late last year and had an enjoyable time although we personally thought that the restaurants and extra activities are all overpriced. The Parc market is well stocked and competitively priced in the main if you are soley self catering. So disapponted when we returned in January to stay in one of the new style woodland lodges. Light fitting missing from Dining ...

We've been to Centre Parcs Elveden many times and Longleat once before. My husband and I go with a friend in her late 40's and her daughter. We fell in love with Longleats beautiful forest and the amazing Red Woods. Our last trip to Longleat was really disappointing, especially as we were taking someone who'd not been to cp's before.
On arrival they have only 2 ladies loo's in the main restaurant complex, between all the new arrivals! Next stop was to book our beauty and hair appointments, the ...

Center Parcs used to be a great place to have a weekend break with the kids, but the overcrowding has totally spoiled it these days. They've added a lot more accommodation over the last few years but no extra attractions - result: the pool is always crammed and you get barrelled into a lot on the rapids.

Center Parcs are happy to take your money but if any problems your on your own jack! Every activity is paid for separately just for an evenings entertainment cost for a family of 5 £100 although this holiday in the long run due to damage cost us 1000s

Having been to three of the four UK Center parcs sites (not Cumbria) this is the most scenic. Set in 400 acres of hilly woodland, perhaps not the best for buggies (Elveden is best for those). There are two types of families, I find. Those that have never been to CP's and those that go all the time. Our children (7,5,2) would rather go here than any other single destination - you'd be hard-pressed not to have a good time. The creche is top notch; it is the most family-friendly resort I ha ...

We went for a midweek break at Centre Parcs, Longleat Forest in December, had a great time.
I have read many negative reviews on the Longleat park, some complaining that it's a holiday park, well guess what - it is (and I'm not sure how you could think otherwise).
The accommodation isn't all that clean or well equipped but these shortcomings are more than made up for when you walk the park. The walks are enjoyable and the overall layout is well designed allowing for days spent strolling around a ...

Center Parcs, Longleat Forest is definitely a place to go and relax and not worry about having to go anywhere else, it is worth planning a shop before you go and taking supplies such as salt/pepper, sauces etc. The shop there is well equipped and beautiful organic produce but is slightly expensive. I would recommend it as a total 'get away from it all' place. Lovely and clean throughout and the pool was fantastic, I felt like a 12 year old again playing around on all the slides, rapids and wave ...

We love Center Parcs. So much to do for children and parents. Lots of wildlife on your doorstep. The nursery nurses and activity staff are excellent. Customer service in restaurants a bit hit and miss. Good supermarket. The whole place could do with a good clean up though forest areas are usually spotless.

We went to Longleat Center Parc when our youngest was 4 months old and our toddler was nearly 2 years old. As the brochure describes the accommodation as a villa, I was expecting great things, particularly as you pay through the nose to stay there. We were disappointed therefore when our so-called villa actually looked like a toilet block. It wasn't too bad inside but once again, given how much you pay to stay there, it was no better than Butlins. Also, we stayed in a 2 bed comfort plus vill ...

Having previously visited the Whinfell Forest park for 2 great holidays, my family and I were really looking forward to our Longleat Park holiday. However we were very disappointed. I do blame myself slightly for maybe not doing a bit more research but I don't think that Center Parcs makes the differences between the parks very obvious in their brochures or on the website. Unfortunately our accommodation was a long way from everything and subsequently took a long time to get to the pool or be ...

If eating out at Centre Parc, book in advance, especially Sat nights.
A lot of activities only run a small number of times, so plan what you want to do ahead of your arrival. Also, they can easily get fully booked, so again, book in advance to avoid disappointment.
Longleat is more spread-out than Sherwood, so be prepared for more walking. This isn't unpleasant at all, but can be a burden if pushing/towing!

Stayed for a midweek in February in Longleat Forest.
I was very impressed with our accommodation, we stayed in a 4 Bed comfort plus, nicely decorated and a good specification, such as dishwasher, TV in master bed and DVD (which we never used), bathrooms and great view out to the forest, I liked the general decor and spec. Highly recommend these villas, however there were some breakages in the villa such as broken light fixtures. But generally clean throughout. The Village is large and there is ...
