Amazing
@Lucy - April 2024, Elveden Forest
Amazing for first family holiday! Highly recommend the waterfront apartments. The animals come right up to the patio door. Spotlessly clean and very family friendly. Even the swimming area changing rooms have family changing rooms with a baby change in every one.
Wonderful Easter break
@Sima S- April 2024, Elveden Forest
The entire experience was amazing. From the courteous staff at arrival to the pleasant and unexpected treats for the children- I couldn't fault our weekend stay at all. The facilities were exceptional and kept kids of various ages entertained
Perfect November inset day weekend
@Adriana S- November 2023, Elveden Forest
Warm and snug, clean, comfortable with forest animals coming to visit us every morning 🐿️ 🦌 🦆 🕊️🐦
All staff were very kind and helpful and very gentle and respectful with children.
Swimming, family wall squash, tenpin and a gazillion other activities, topped with Christmas enchanted forest were excellent.
With no cars around the village, it felt very safe for all family to cycle around.
We will definitely be returning.
So convenient, so easy
@Mira M- August 2023, Elveden Forest
Holidays with small children can be harder work than, well, work, but Centerparcs Elveden made everything so convenient- seamlessly transferring to a well maintained and equipped lodge, groceries delivered, bicycles collected, so all set from the get go. Then the variety of activities on offer, easy to book online or spontaneously on the day with good availability, kept the kids busy discovering adventures. Not to mention the pool which was perfect for the kids and we went each day to start or finish the day. Oh and the Spa! Lovely team at the spa to treat you. To top it all, some fantastic food at the various restaurants, available for dine in or as take out. Honestly, the team have everything to make it as enjoyable and relaxing for the adults as the kids. This was our first Centerparcs experience, would definitely go again and do definitely recommend to anyone looking for an activity packed family holiday.
