Latest News update
Last updated 12 July 2021
At Center Parcs we’re planning to step away from COVID-19 restrictions in a cautious and careful way with our priority being to keep guests and colleagues, as safe as possible in the forest. With COVID-19 still in the community, it remains important that we all continue to look after ourselves and those around us.
We’ve also been listening to guest feedback and some of the changes we have had to make over the past few months have been so well received that, with further review, they will help us evolve and consider new and better ways of doing things into the future.
Following the Government announcement, we are still working through some of the detail but the information below will help guests understand some initial changes:
Are pool slots staying?
Yes. We still believe it is important to avoid overcrowding but also, longer-term, we have been closely monitoring guest feedback from those that have stayed with us recently and they consistently tell us that fewer numbers in the Subtropical Swimming Paradise gives a much-improved experience – and it is the pre-booked swim slots that help us to manage guest numbers better. The pool is less crowded with shorter queues for slides and the changing experience is more relaxed. However, guests have also told us they would like to swim more often and this is certainly something we will make available as soon as it is safe to do so.
Text message offering extra swim slots?
We are planning to offer additional swim slots where we can. If we find that we have last minute availability we will text guests to let them know on their day of arrival.
Additional swim slots aren’t guaranteed and can vary depending on booking volumes by village.
Will the wave pool be open?
Yes, the wave pool will be open.
Will Canopy Café and Starbucks be open on the Subtropical Swimming Paradise?
Yes
Will the showers be available in the Subtropical Swimming Paradise?
Yes, the showers will be open.
Will all play areas be open?
All outdoor play areas will be open and indoor play areas will open when we feel it is safe to do so.
Will the village start accepting cash?
No, we are now a cashless environment and this will continue.
Is maid service being reintroduced?
We’re stepping out of the COVID period very carefully and taking the opportunity to review our Housekeeping Service. For now, we won’t be reinstating our daily service, however, we will be replenishing some essential items part way through your break (Executive lodges and above).
Can we arrive on village from 10am?
From 19 July guests may arrive on village from 12 noon.
We are planning to return to normal arrival times soon but we would like to review the volume of guests on arrival days to ensure this is safe before we jump to 10am.
Can I check-in my lodge at 3pm now?
We’re stepping out of the COVID period very carefully and taking the opportunity to continue the increased cleaning we have introduced. We feel that this is still really important and may be something we continue to do. For now, guests may check-in their lodge from 4pm.
Will there be more availability in restaurants and activities?
We will be doing this carefully, we will start to gently increase availability if we feel it is safe to do so.
Test & Trace
We will continue to request details from all guests at the time of booking to support any future requests. However, providing Test & Trace details for everyone at individual units will now be optional.
Face coverings
We request that guests wear face coverings in indoor public areas and in close contact areas. There may also be some close contact activities where we require guests to wear a face covering – this is for the protection of both our guests and our colleagues.
We strongly suggest that all guests bring a face covering with them.
Will there still be sanitiser on village?
Yes, we will continue to provide hand sanitiser and strongly recommend that guests continue to use.
Book with Confidence Guarantee
All guests with an arrival date up to 18 April 2022 are covered by our Book with Confidence Guarantee and will have the option to reschedule or cancel with a full refund 11 weeks before arrival.
How to change or cancel your break for any arrival date up to 18 April 2022
Under our Book with Confidence Guarantee guests with an arrival date of up to 18 April 2022 may change the date of their booking or cancel by completing this form. Our team will pick this up, action your request, and you'll receive an email confirmation within seven days.
Guests are responsible for checking the latest Government advice
Government information may change and rules and advice are constantly under review. Guests must check government information themselves to understand any changes or new rules prior to visiting Center Parcs, booking a new break or when considering a date change or cancellation of an existing booking.

First Aid Centre Closure at Longleat Forest
30 July 2021
This Unit will be closed until at least 7 August. This is due to staff shortages within our First Aid Centre team resulting from compliance with NHS Test & Trace contact isolation requirements. We have immediate emergency First Aid arrangements in place and will of course have our usual trained first aid colleagues around the village to support our guests with minor injuries. Issues requiring additional care will be referred to NHS services.
Rajinda Pradesh at Longleat Forest is undergoing refurbishment
6 July 2021
Rajinda Pradesh at Longleat Forest is closed for refurbishment from 5 July to 30 July. Even with the restaurant doors closed, a delicious curry is still on the menu. Guests can order a delivery and enjoy in the comfort of their lodge instead – order here up to four days in advance.
Bella Italia maintenance works
13 May 2021
Due to essential maintenance works, the ramp access to Bella Italia will be closed until 9 July 2021. The only access to this restaurant will be via steps within the main plaza building. If this is an issue, please contact Guest Services in the Plaza, or re-book your restaurant on our website. Apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause.
Our retail shops
4 September 2020
Like many businesses, our retail partner has been severely affected by the pandemic. As a result, they have decided to no longer operate in the fashion sector, which sadly means that they will be closing some of their stores on our villages. Aquatique, Just for Kids and The Store Room will remain open, but unfortunately, Spirit, Sportique and Time for Shade will all close by October, with some closing as soon as Sunday 6th September. We know these stores are firm favourites with our guests and we are working hard to look at new and exciting alternatives to add to our retail offering.
Forest safety
7 August 2020
During extreme dry weather spells we take advice from the Met Office, please see below some basic fire safety points:
- Smoking is permitted only in designated smoking locations on village and on the patio/ balcony of accommodation
- The use of wood from the forest is strictly prohibited for use on the fire in accommodation (please only use logs purchased from ParcMarket)
- The making of fires of any sort is strictly prohibited
- Should you discover a fire no matter how small, please contact the village emergency number or call 999
- Due to our forest environment, we may need to withdraw the use of BBQ’s in extreme hot weather
We do have regular fire checks in place but please be vigilant and help us to maintain a safe environment in the forest.
Aqua Sana Longleat Forest has had a makeover
Updated 20 November 2019
We have unveiled our newly refurbished Forest Spa, bringing together 24 unique spa experiences and harnessing the proven benefits of forest bathing at Aqua Sana Longleat Forest.
Lake closures on our villages
2 September 2019
As we operate a number of submersible activities on the lakes at our villages, we test our lake water for quality on a regular basis. Due to natural organisms, we occasionally receive a reading that means we have to close our lake whilst we treat the issue and gain a normal reading again. Should this happen we will ensure that guest disruption is kept to a minimum and that we bring activities back online as soon as we possibly can.
New fun-filled activities for little ones
28 January 2019
Discover three new activities for your little ones to enjoy. Make memories that will last forever as you forage through the forest to create your very own Family Nature Journal, or help our rangers discover woodland animals and their habitats in Nature Detectives, both at the Ranger’s Lodge.

Minimising traffic on the village
