Center Parcs Woburn Forest - Bedford

We got a good last minute deal for a mid week break during the (Scottish) half term holidays, otherwise we would not have considered driving 7+ hours away for a wee break. We're a family of 4 with kids aged 11 and 14. || The lodge (executive 3 bed) was very comfortable and well located. I slept well each night which is unusual for me! The kitchen facilities are good and the showers in the bathrooms are great. A winning combination!||The site is clean and well tended and I felt safe walking around by myself, even in the dark, as a woman. Everything is walkable within about 15 mins so bikes are not a necessity. I recommend driving to the Aldi supermarket about 10 mins away for grocery shopping, though the on-site shop (Coop) has everything you will need albeit at inflated prices.||The pool and slides were the main attraction for us as a family. We loved the outside water rapids and the place was kept clean and tidy with lots of lifeguards on duty. Unfortunately the big waterslides were out of order on 3 full days of our stay, and as a result everywhere else in the pool complex was very busy. We're glad we tried them out on the first day before they broke! I think the complex is best suited to families with younger children if the slides are out of order.||If you can get a good deal and have primary aged kids, you'll enjoy it!

We had a really lovely time at Center Parcs Woburn this week. Staff are beyond friendly and helpful, from activities to servers and check-in. Plenty to stay entertained. We were an adults-only party and still found lots to keep us entertained. Facilities are well-maintained. This location is very hilly, but we don’t mind that, and took our time getting around and enjoying the peaceful forest. I’ve visited before and particularly enjoyed this trip! Would definitely come again.

We've been to CP before and enjoyed it but this one was a bad experience. Where to start, our lodge door would not close properly, the décor in the lodge was tired and needed a complete revamp. The main toilet had some brown ooze seeping out for the sink hole seal, the back bedroom smelled like a swamp and outdoor table had what looked like a dirty protest from a flock of birds some time ago. There were not enough parking spaces for entry and exit days. Staff moved around in vehicles at speed compared to other CP sites. Everything in the parc market was extortionate (but that's standard CP) and the biggest let down was the slides were out of action for the entire time of our stay so that ruined a massive part of the break. My 12 year old was not happy. I would say the smaller kids would be happy, the pirate ship and the paddle area is actually very good for those 6 and under. The staff we all nice enough. The big issues were no slides, a manky place to stay for the week and stressful entrance and exit. We wont be back to Woburn. Booked Duinrell and euro camp instead.

A Magical holiday with squirrels, deer and pheasants at our porch every morning, my kids felt like Snow White. |Everything about the holiday was brilliant: lodge accommodation, cleanliness, facilities, activities, spa, staff...the list goes on. |However, prices for some activities are expensive for what they are e.g Lazer quest and escape rooms.||One minor point is we ate at Huck's on the first evening and found it overpriced for small portions and left feeling hungry. |We cooked our own meals from thereon and had quality family meal time in our lodge instead. ||Can't wait book again and will maybe try another Parc for variety.

We spent the day here today and honestly it has been one of the most relaxing days we have had in a long time. The different spa experiences are great!
The staff were absolutely amazing especially Tracey who explained everything to us in such great detail and went above and beyond in anything we asked for.
The food was great (again the staff are brilliant)! The puddings are absolutely massive! Cocktails are also great!

Pah . . I'm going to miss today tomorrow, but I'm very grateful for the lovely experience here in Woburn.

4 day break from 14th to 18th October. A few faults were accountered. Firstly the safe didn't work. This was replaced on the Tuesday. Secondly the fridge was so noisy it kept us awake at night. Engineer adjusted thermastat and said it could be replaced but it is better to do it between guests, so we agreed to switch it off at night. Thirdly both rides not working all week at Subtropical Swimming Paradise. And lastly very poor service at Rajinda Pradesh restaurant. During our stay this was only open from Wednesday. We booked a table on the Thursday for 8 o'clock , had to wait half an hour to be serviced, then for some strange reason thd waiter brought our main course whilst we we still eating our starter. The quality of the meal left a lot to be desired.

A fantastic place to stay with the family. Loads of activities for all ages. The location is also very nice, set in the forest and all facilities are within walking distance. Great choice of shops and eating places also. Lodge we stayed in was fantastic which featured a hot tub and sauna.

The only reason I have not given 5 stars is because of the length of activities for the toddler sessions (sensory and water play) which were only half hour long. Didn't seem long enough for it to be properly enjoyed. Maybe consider making them longer (1 hour perhaps)

We didn’t want to leave!

Great weekend away. Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed our break at Woburn Centre Parcs. We made use of all of the great facilities. We really enjoyed the Aqua Sauna and next time we’ll have to book a treatment.
Shout out to maintenance Mark who fixed our lights in our room. He’s seems a great asset to the team and a great guy to talk to about the Centre Parcs.
