just got back today from a completely disasterous break at whinfell. our first two visits there i couldn't have faulted, but this time they put is bang in the middle of a building site (they are re-furbing some of the lodges, cement mixers, lorrys, vans, dumper trucks etc all hurtling past the front door, mud everywhere, hammering, knocking, drilling (you get the idea!). not a bit like the advert for peace and quiet. they also closed the road meaning about another mile on our walk to get to anywhere on the park. they had the cheek to charge us a £25 fee for selecting one of these lodges! they didn't mention any building works on the phone or the website. absolutely furious. won't be going back.

I feel bad for you! I've always had good childhood memories of CentreParcs but it's all about making money at the expense of quality these days!
