Center Parcs UK - Accommodation

Accommodation

Each village has a number of different lodge types that range from one- to four-bedroom accommodation. In 2011, Center Parcs began refurbishing all of its lodges. A new style 'Woodland Lodge' replaced the previous basic lodges and became the entry-level standard accommodation. Executive lodges were also upgraded. The lodges have gradually needed refurbishment and in time it will probably be the case that some might be replaced by newer designs.The constant use does have its effect on these lodges and in time they will probably wear out.The simple but practical design has proven to be very popular.Originally there was a radio for the kitchen and bathroom and the speaker has been retained in some lodges although there is no radio to connect it to.Also the fairlight in the kitchen area and bathroom is a feature that will probably be phased out in newer builds.The beds were all replaced and new interiors introduced to help brighten up some lodges,Some of the larger lodges have extra facilities like a shower room or games room.The comfort version is the simplest version but even so it allows for self-catering if so desired.The lodges are usually in small clusters and give a good degree of privacy.Some of the new lodges have facilities like games rooms and are more aimed at the larger parties of 8 people,where as in some of the European villages some villas will take up to 10/12 people.Elveden Forest has no 1 bed lodges but has The Lakeside View Hotel and this alas prevents being able to go self-catering but is close to the restaurants and activities,it also features a revolving restaurant.
