Center Parcs

Just spent long weekend at Sherwood celebrating a very special occasion and we were so disappointed. The villa was dirty - you should have seen the state of the toilet when we arrived!! - nothing seemed to work correctly in the accommodation and nobody seemed to care. The facilities are excellent if you don't mind queuing and your expectations are not high. The restaurants etc. are good if expensive. All the accommodation we saw was tired and in urgent need of up dating. After reading reports before booking we did not believe we were at the same place as others described. Our advice would be to give Center Parcs a wide berth, especially Sherwood Forest. Obviously other ...  Read the complete review

Wow! What a holiday. I never wanted to leave the peace and tranquility. I am yet to find another place where it is safe to walk/cycle in the evening without fear of being attacked or mown down by a car. I have been to the one in Sherwood Forest three times and if it wasn't so expensive, I would be back every year. The accommodation is lovely and there is enough in the way of equipment to mean that you don't need to take much with you. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and having a yard with beautiful views is just so relaxing on an evening. We had a sauna in our last villa - what a luxury! The activities that are available are ...  Read the complete review

I have been to Center Parcs several times but hadn't been for a while and since my last visit it has altered a little but still just as much fun as I remembered it to be. I thought I should review it as people who have never been are always asking me what it's like and whether it's worth it. The basic idea of Center Parcs is to have an active holiday where you try things you may never usually get round to doing without having to go far. All of the attractions are very close together so you don't have to spend all day travelling from one to the next and so you can really soak up the family fun atmosphere. I thought instead of reviewing everything ...  Read the complete review

I had visited centre parcs in various locations across the country as a child and remember it being absolutely brilliant! As an adult and parent myself years later we went camping to Wiltshire and visited Longleat and it poured down all week and we made a promise that next year we would go and stay at centre parcs! We rang up as we had a code from the paper to give discount and the guy on the phone attually said he had a better code we could use and we ended up getting a 4 bedroom chalet at a very good price - we got 4 bedroom as we were going 50/50 with another friend and his wife and 2 kids so it worked out at just under £200 each for 5 days. When we ...  Read the complete review

When i was a child my mum used to take us to sherwood forest 2 - 3 times a year, And we absolutly loved it, My mum especially. They are alot of activities to do what ever your age. Theres archery, clay pigeon shot, tennis, badmington and football to name but a few. They are also water activities such as pedalos, canoes and water skiing. They do charge for these but they aren't expensive. I stay in the comfort villa as i have been told that the expensive villas are showy on the outside but not looked after on the inside. The 3 bedroom comfort villas are spacious with a double bedroom, a twin room and a single bedroom with bunkbeds. ...  Read the complete review
