“Thank you so much for my family’s break at Center Parcs”

One of our military families has just returned from a short break at Center Parcs Elveden which enabled the family to unwind and reconnect as a family unit. This village is set in stunning 400 acres of Elveden Forest where many gorgeous muntjac deer roam! There are all sorts of activities for families to enjoy including walks, cycle paths and all the fun to be had on Center Parcs’ largest water sport lake: try the exhilarating Cable Water Ski and ‘The Drop’, if you fancy free-falling 10 metres!
