Center Parcs - Whinfell Forest, Penrith

Location great. Rooms/lodges fantastic. Lots to do to keep everyone entertained. Spa was the highlight of the visit. Food quality in restaurants wasn't great and very expensive. Service varied at restaurants, with some being great and others being poor.

The lodges could do with a bit of modernisation. We stayed here 10 years apart and it didn't feel like anything has changed. They are fine though but for the price you are paying they could do with a revamp. Activities are great. Being able to cycle everywhere is very enjoyable. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurants is fine. Nothing fancy and a bit expensive in my opinion. Overall I'd recommend it if you want to get away from it all. It's nice just parking up your car on the first day and leaving it.
