Good time had by all
@Shirleyd652018 - May 2024, Woburn Forest
We had a great time as a family. It was our first time at Woburn Forest, but not at centre parcs. The size of the park was just right for the children who were 3 and under, with lots of activities to keep them occupied. The lodge was comfy and warm with great facilities. The weather even managed to stay dry for most of the week.
Excellent birthday weekend
@David N- May 2024, Woburn Forest
I celebrated my birthday with a group of 10 friends at Centre Parcs Woburn. Two adjacent "executive" lodges were perfect as every couple had ensuites, and the bigger lodge had space for the 10 of us to eat together. We enjoyed the pool, bowling, crazy golf, playing pool and plenty of eating and drinking!
A particular highlight was dinner at the Amalfi restaurant, where our waitress Jessica looked after us very well, and even brought me a pudding with a candle on it!
We all have fond memories of CPs over the years with the kids, and it was just as nice to be back as a group of older grown ups!
Our new annual holiday
@Kimberley H- February 2024, Woburn Forest
This was our first time using Centre Parcs and we were incredibly impressed. The entire site is amazingly clean, well thought out and child friendly. Cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be making this our annual holiday. The lodge was well laid out and spacious for us and the other family we shared with, well equipped and we managed to things like extra bedrails without fuss the same day - so easy! The onsite activities were excellent, the children really enjoyed the jet-skiing and the mini-off-roading. Cannot wait to go again next year!
Another fantastic time :-)
@JaneO'G- August 2023, Woburn Forest
We’ve been visiting CPs since 1994 so can’t imagine not having a wonderful, fun, relaxing, memorable time, every time. We’ve visited all UK sites and each offers something slightly different, but with the same Center Parcs relaxed, away-from-it all vibe, whether spending time with friends or family, it’s always brilliant.
