“Great way to spend 4 days with our Family.”

★★★★★

written by on 10/06/2014

My wife & I had a great time,we took our 2 sons,daughter in laws along with our 5 Grandchildren & their 2 dogs,we stayed in 2 villas. There was so much to do,great walks plenty of great places to eat & drink,the grounds were safe as there are no cars etc. Check in was easy,the sports was great & the water sports were fantastic for all ages. We all liked the facilities & the easy way to book everything,with all costs very clearly shown. The gift shop was very expensive.

“Fantastic family holiday”

★★★★★

written by Wayne1956 on 13/03/2014

Fantastic family weekend away. Good value for money very helpful staff engineer in cycle hire taught my children to finally ride their bikes without stabilisers (something I thought I would never see) staff at center parcs elvedon go above and beyond it was my youngest daughters birthday was on the day we arrived when we checked into our villa housekeeping had left a welcome and happy birthday message on the chalk board. It's little things like this are the reason we came back Monday night and rebooked Tuesday night. Great facilities, clean and well equipped accommodation safe environment value for money helpful and knowledgable staff amazing holiday

“Definitely worth a visit with one's family”

★★★★★

written by edhailey on 02/01/2014

This is one typical British park that everyone's heard of. We've been there in December 2013 and although it was cold, we really enjoyed it. It's an amazing piece of real life nature and you simply have to visit it. It's definitely worth a trip over with your family, you won't regret it.

“Brilliant and fun”

★★★★★

written by Mummyemma26 on 26/08/2013

Me n my family had an amazing time there was plenty to do for children and adults. I would defiantly recommend the teddy bears picnic for little ones. The bike hire is really good too. We will defiantly be booking up again. My little girl loved waking up to deer, squirrels, and du is right outside the door overall was an excellent holiday. The staff were brilliant and very friendly everywhere we went. The swimming pool was great fun.

“Amazing, best holiday of my life”

★★★★★

written by on 04/05/2013

Stunning, full of activities, accomadation fantastic, loved the stay. I would definately recommend it to other families, especially those with children. We were there a week and didn't get bored once. I loved the children's options there. As adults we could book our children into the football or the Snorkelling for 2 hours or so and go off and do what ever we wanted. Amazing service,there are a HUGE range of eating options from American to Italian to Asain and we loved our Culinary adventure. A big highlight of our stay was the aquatic centre. Lovely slides, nice and warm and comforting, fun things to do and overall, probably the best bit about the stay. I would undoubtly recommend you go there, for me and my family it was the best holiday we'd ever been on.

“Wonderful Company Lovely Staff Atmosphere Great Value For ”

★★★★★

written by ImpossibleMission on 07/12/2012

I've been going for 20 years now I have stayed there about 24 times fabulous place wonderful staff customer services at Head Office really lovely people. I have spent loads there and had some of the most fabulous times in our lives. Twice I went in the first week in July it was so hot it was like St Tropez. You cannot fault this place in any one iota. The facilities, the staff, the villas, the food, the ambiance, is second to none for a UK break. This is quality and comfort at a decent price. I am happy for you to contact me via Review Centre if you want the personal touch. This is a lovely environment to bring up kids, I brought both my two up here over 20 years. At least your spending money in the UK providing UK jobs in a fantastic environment without getting over charged by businesses overseas.

“Fantastic, relaxing and fun at center parcs”

★★★★★

written by on 21/10/2012

We arrived and were met by a friendly face, we were in our car and she got our keys and ave us directions to our apartment. We pulled up outside and went in to look, we had a great 3 bed en-suites apartment, sauna in the garden which was a bonus! The place had everything u would need to cater for your family, well equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms, gorgeous views! We didn't eat in any of the restaurants as we ate in apartment but we enjoyed a drink in the bar and bowling etc. the pool was fabulous, I have a 1 yr old 10 yr old and 14 yr old nd they all loved the pool for a few hrs a day. Cannot wait to go back. Brilliant time had by all. Only negative is that the pillows were like bricks! But the beds were so comfy.

“A Refreshing Break.”

★★★★★

written by keith.jacobs on 04/07/2011

As first-time visitors we were exceptionally impressed by the Quality,Presentation,Cleanliness and Facilities of the Accomodation,(Cedar Lodge),which puts many 4 and 5 star Hotels we have visited in the past to shame. We were a family of two Grandparents, a Son and two Grandsons aged 3 years and 5 years.Everyone of us in the party had a great time, cycling,walking, swimming,outdoor activities,eating,etc.etc., what more do you need on a Holiday? Was anything wrong? well, yes....the Maid forgot to make one of our beds on one occassion but this matter was dealt with about up 15 minutes after I had advised the Housekeeper of this oversight.

“Centerparcs elveden forest June 2011”

★★★★★

written by on 19/06/2011

Recently got back from a 4 night stay at centerparcs elvedon forest. First time I had ever been to centerparcs and I was very pleased overall with the accommodation and whole resort. The subtropical swimming paradise really fives you a feeling of being abroad and my son loved it! While we were there a child fell over and banged their head and the staff responded brilliantly! We stayed on a new style woodland lodge and I woul definitely recommend paying the little but extra for one as they are so much nicer lookin than the comfort and comfort plus lodges l also picked where our accompdatuon was which was great as we were really close to everything we wanted to use. The food is expensive especially in hucks but was mostly of good standard. The menu in the foresters inn was limited but the service and play area were fantastic. And it was a little more reasonable than the other restaurants. The only evening entertainment really was a kids disco which was very dark and my son who normally loves a disco never really settled in it so we left after bout half hour. The tips I would give are take a bucket and spade for the sand by the lake if u have nice weather and are taking young kids.!it's something free and the kids love it. Also there is animal bit of sand in the swimming area where u could use it. If you are staying near the sports plaza you don't really we'd to hire bikes but I did enjoy a few litte bike rides. The golf simulator is a waste of money didn't work properly and we found the same things with some of the amusement games in the bowlin area amusements. The time out club was fantastic, my son had a great time when we left him for andew hours ansni dealt enjoyed The break. Overall it's and expensive holidaynut you get what you pay for and it's a 5* holiday. Can't wait to go back!

“First time at Centre Parcs and not disapointed!”

★★★★★

written by on 18/06/2011

WE stayed in a 3 bed executive lodge at Elveden as the newer style ones didnt have enough bathrooms. The villa was a good size and the bedrooms were a good size too with the baby cot in our room and still plenty of room to move around, ensuite to all rooms only prob was that the rear room backed onto next doors patio so was a bit noisy for our lil un. The villa backed onto the forest where we were greeted by muntjacs (reindeer as lil one called them) ducks rabbits and squirrels galore. The bike hire was easy and the mobility scooter for grandad was great. Maid service a bit hit n miss as never seemed to be a convenient time and on the last day they are hovering outside your villa by 10am waiting for you to go! The amenities were great but we thought it would be more undercover so we still got wet as the bike park is outside the main strip if you like. The swiiming pool is great but does get busy and we struggled to fins changing rooms but plenty of lockers, theres loads of baby cots dotted around which is very useful if you dont want to leave but babe needs a nap. The slides n shoots are not fast at all and ok for the lil ones. Defo prebook activities though as they go fast! Make a memory was worth it tots bowling not so. Arrive early cos theres a massive queue to get on the park but why they say you cant go into your accomadation untill 3pm I dont know as they give you your keys when you arrive? We had a fab time and would defo go again!

“Center Parcs: Perfect long weekend”

★★★★★

written by on 18/06/2011

We spent a long weekend at Center Parcs to celebrate my boyfriends sisters birthday. Despite the typical British weather of rain, little bit of sunshine and more rain! We had a great time. The accommodation was modest yet comfortable and clean. We booked well in advance so it was reasonable price and one of the better lodges. The lodge was based about 5 minutes bike ride from the village centre, so it was easy to access the shops, restaurants, Starbucks, the activities and the swimming pool. The swimming pool was the best thing about the weekend, we spent hours going round the rapids! We did have a few issues with our meal at Cafe Rouge, as my food did not arrive with everything else's but the waitresses was very helpful and it did arrive about 5/10 minutes later and they took the meal off our bill. Overall it was an excellent weekend and I would recommend Centre Parcs to everyone who wants a nice British weekend break with the ease and friendliness of the Parc.

Waternymph's Comment

Written on: 18/06/2011

So glad you, too, enjoyed Center Parcs. We have now been five times with our family (we're Grandparents) and have enjoyed each one. Sherwood is our favourite, though Longleat is much closer to us. Can't fault them, and as you say, they're just right for a 'British' holiday. Long Live the typical British holiday!

“Third visit to Elvedon and we still love it.”

★★★★★

written by rachelhill on 17/06/2011

This is our third visit to Centerparcs Elvedon and we think it's fab. Everything is very central. Even though we were in the furthest away villas to the village square it was still a six minute walk/three minute cycle. Quite flat and easily travelling too for my dad who uses a stick. The beach at the Lake is always popular with the little people (we liked the pedalos too) and I took my mum up on an aerial adventure trekking through the trees. Hopefully one day she will forgive me! My son had a small accident (he fell out of bed and cut his head) and the staff were really solicitous and helpful and any other faults reported were fixed very quickly. They even came and cleaned our villa (unexpectedly) as a courtesy to make life easier for us. Things you need to know: (1) The carpark is massive - write down where your car is somewhere and don't lose it. (2) The lockers in the swim area don't always have numbers on the wristbands so you have to remember them (or take a biro and write it on your arm. (3) between 4 and 7 the pool is really quiet but manic between 10 and 12. (4) If you feed the squirrels or the birds at your villa the WILL knock on the windows at 5am expecting breakfast. Overall I'd be really happy to go there again (though I think we'll try Sherwood Forest next time or the new Woburn one).

★★★★★

written by on 17/05/2011

Having heard great things about Center Parcs, we booked a weekend break in Elveden over Easter and had a fantastic time. The accommodation was brilliant; clean, comfortable, full equipped and close to all the amentities. The kids loved it - they enjoyed the freedom of being able to cycle safely around the parc, meeting up with friends and going swimming or to the shops.

The Aqua Sana spa was amazing. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere so tranquil and relaxing, that I wish I had booked a full day!

Our family will certainly be back to Center Parcs again. Thank you for a wonderful time.
