This was our second break in just over 2 months (6-9th jan). Just the tonic after a busy festive season! We always try to arrive early to avoid the check in chaos and make the most of every minute. Bike hire was half price which made it more affordable, if only they applied this all the time the cycle centre... More

3 adults one dog and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves,new style lodge had everything you could need and was spotless, you have to keep pooch on a lead so they dont eat the squirrels but there are exercise areas to let them burn off all that energy but to be honest by the time you have trekked through the woods...

I previously provided a critical review of Centre Parcs. We visited last year and felt it was getting very shabby. We have just returned from Whinfell and it is vastly improved. The accommodation has been re burbished, arguably to hotel standards. We were very, very impressed. The pool changing rooms have also been re done and they are fantastic. I... More

We love Centre Parcs, plenty for the adults and children to do. My 2 year old was a perfect age to enjoy the swimming pools and the tots soft play. Everywhere was clean and well maintained, however we were very disappointed with our accommodation -70 Fell View. We picked comfort accommodation knowing it would be basic, however I did not... More

The overall experience of Whinfell was lovely and I would go back but I was very put off by the letter from the manager in our lodge when we arrived. Yes we were a group of girls who were meeting up and staying in 2 lodges next door, however, a letter on arrival stating that this was a family resort... More

The ages of our family party ranged from 1 year to 58 yrs with varying ages in between and there was something everyday for all of us. Came back very chilled and looking forward to next... More

Centre Parcs, Whinfell, is great. We found plenty to do (for free) with two young children. Paths and roads (although icy due to the seasonal weather) made pushing our double buggy easy. We chose not to hire bikes this time and I'm pleased as the icy roads would have made cycling very difficult. Swimming Pool: There were plenty of places... More
