Center Parcs through the decades

To stand perfectly still and hear nothing but the gentle sound of rustling leaves, and the occasional cheery tingle of a bicycle bell. It has to be Center Parcs.


Believe what you want on tripadvisor! Here is my insight into this holiday destination.


Having visited Sherwood and Elveden I believe the latter of the two to be the better by far!
Been going since I was a wee baby! And believe me I have seen the changes over the years.


One noticeable complaint by most people on tripadvisor is value for money. I must say we as a family tend to do things the more expensive way, usually staying in top accommodation. But even I must admit that once on site they will suck as much money from you as possible! Food, activities and daily supplies can be triple the amount they are in the nearest Tescos!


This can be easily avoided by planning ahead. Taking ones own food and essential supplies, with possibly one or two meals eaten at one of the many onsite restaurants, including cafe rouge, Bella Italia,  and Hucks American diner. 


Activities are extremely varied, everything from falconry to pottery painting, high wires to raft building. The phrase "There's something for everyone" really rings true. Plus once again a wonderful price tag!


Book only low price activities - adventure golf, pottery painting and racket sport courts. 
For the larger budget - action company challenge, Aqua Sauna and quadbiking.


Remember use of the swimming pool is free and bring your own bikes! Plenty of exploring to be done for your little ones!


Your villa will be a welcome site at the end of a hard day! From comfort villas offering all the basics right up to the Executive Lodges and Treehouses offering hot tubs and gamesrooms. 
Go on! Give it a go! Book your holiday today!
