We recently came back from Centre Parcs in Longleat. Choosing to go over a long weekend as opposed to our last visit to Nottingham being a midweek break, we decided last time we were too tired by... more

    5 Stars Perfect holiday pretty much guaranteed. Review with images 14/09/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages very family friendly, close to our house, perfect for an active holiday

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can be busy, often get cars on site when they are not meant to be.

    Center Parcs is one of my favourite UK holiday destinations. My in-laws treated us to a holiday in the Whinfell Forest parc in Cumbria in 2006 when I was heavily pregnant with my son, and since then we have returned many times, experiencing the parcs at Sherwood Forest in Nottingham, and Elveden Forest in Suffolk over the past 5 years. Last weekend we went to Sherwood Forest which was our 3rd visit to that particular parc, and I am already getting twitchy fingers wanting to book in the next visit, with the only thing putting me off is the fact that we now have to go in school holidays and the ... more

    5 Stars Center Parcs - Family Fun in the Forest! Diamond review Review with images 20/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great family holiday, perfect for kids, lovely natural setting, plenty to do

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lodges can be shabby, you will wear yourself out with all the activity!

    Center Parcs is a resort type holiday where the aim is to enjoy a family holiday in natural surroundings. Accommodation is in self catering units, although there are plenty of restaurants available. The holiday can be as relaxing or as active as each individual chooses. There are plenty of optional activities available for those that want to keep busy or expand their horizons. The basic cost of the holiday includes accommodation and you then pay for any additional pursuits you wish to engage in. The main attraction for most families is the natural setting and almost total absence of cars ... more

    5 Stars Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest? Diamond review Review with images 29/12/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Relaxed Environment, Plenty to do, Fab Accommodation

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Costly to eat out.

    As some of you may recall I recently was awarded a diamond for my review on Center Parcs the Oasis Whinfell Forest back in September so I decided that when I went back last week that I would write up a review of my next visit…. Sherwood Forest. Last time I just went for the weekend which was the Friday to the Monday as cars are only permitted on both of these days. Advertised in Oasis was a Welcome Back Discount for up to 25% if you booked another trip within 28 days of returning. My boyfriend and I decided to take full advantage of this the cost of the break was £407.00 for the midweek stay ... more

    4 Stars As Relaxing As Sleeping In A Beehive Diamond review 06/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots and lots and lots to do to keep the kids entertained

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Most of it requires you spending all your time with the kids

    Going on holiday to a resort just twenty minutes up the road from my house is total anathema to me. Even worse is spending quite a lot of money to do it yet, despite my protestations that Spain would be cheaper and sunnier, last week we packed the car up until the suspension rested on the bump stops and travelled the 14.7 miles from our front door to the Center Parcs site in Elveden where my wife assured me we would have a peaceful and relaxing break from the pub. To be fair, several of my friends and my bar staff have all travelled to the same destination and assured me that, once settled in ... more

    5 Stars Centre Parcs: SHERWOOD FOREST: An Honest Review 27/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Location; Wildlife; Accomodation; Range of activities; Shops

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite expensive; accomodation could be a fair distance from main areas!

    I have been to Centre Parcs (SHERWOOD) a few times, and thought I'd share my experiences with this review. The last time I visited Centre Parcs was with my partner in February of this year - the only time I have ever been during the Winter months, but as it is both of our birthday's around January/February time, my partner took me as a birthday treat, and I have to say it was probably the best birthday present ever. We stayed in an 'Executive Lodge', which was a two-storey house, and were there from Friday morning - Monday afternoon. ARRIVAL When you arrive at Centre Parcs in Sherwood Forest ... more
