We have just returned from Whinfell. Our 2nd time with last year being Sherwood. Out of the two we liked Sherwood. We feel that there was more wildlife at Sherwood. It is not as hilly & you have the benefit of going outside to the Cycle center in Sherwood Forest where you can cycle to your hearts content. Whinfell is... More

The villa (93 seven pines) a four bedroom new style woodland lodge was soooo cold it spoilt our stay. They tried to help but even when we overrid the heating it made no difference. It rained and froze making it impossible to ride bikes or even walk. The pool was also not very warm. It's a much more pleasant break... More

I also regret that most unusually our team were unable to resolve the issues with your heating system. i am not aware of any issues with the temperature of the Subtropical Swimming Paradise at the time of your stay. Thanks for taking... More

We have been frequent attendees at centerparcs whinfell, much more compact to longleat, notherners very welcoming, not overly expensive if you come prepared... We bring 60% of food sourced in penrith, as parcmarket would be priced as waitrose, brilliant for families especially under 5! More

We had a three bedroomed new style executive lodge- with a sauna!!! loads of room and really comfortable. The moonlight spa for 2 is unbelievable good value if you book before you... More

If you are considering Center Parcs then you are likly to be going with children and I have no doubt you'll all have a great time. I had my reservations before booking thinking it was going to be a posh Butlins but we had a wonderful time and will definately be going back soon. Travelling with just myself, my husband... More
