Woburn's perfect place for a weekend away

Center Parcs ticks all the boxes when it comes to a great relaxing and highly enjoyable break away.

Just recently, I visited the Woburn site for a weekend break. It’s perfect for week-long or week-end breaks for parents with young or teenage children, or as I did, with the grandchildren.

Set in acres and acres of picturesque Bedfordshire woodland, it’s the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There are a wide range of lodges that go from a basic style right up to Executive & Exclusive lodges.  These offer superb facilities, such as private saunas, whirlpools, play rooms, en-suite bathrooms and flat screen TVs in every room.

What I love about Center Parcs is that once you’ve unloaded your car and parked it the massive car park, cars are banned from driving around the site.  This way parents and children can enjoy a traffic free environment, creating a safe and unique experience.

Personally, when being on holiday I like to switch my mobile phone off, but for those who prefer to be switched on at all times, you will be glad to know that internet and phone service are available over all sites.

Guests can walk or cycle around the site, Woburn is quite small compared to some of the other sites so you can get places quickly.  You can hire a trailer for the little ones when you hire a bike and helmets are also available. You can also take your own bicycles if you prefer.

As for those who enjoy splashing about in the water, well nothing and I mean nothing, compares to Center Parcs Sub Tropical Paradise, aptly worded, as it is an unbelievable experience. There is a large wave pool and two toddler/small children pools. Not only do you have the choice of different pools but also a host of slides and flumes. The rapids at Woburn are especially worth a ride and you’ve just got to take a trip on the white knuckle Tropical Cyclone raft ride.

The pool isn’t the only place to have fun. There’s a thrilling new adventure activity high in the trees at all villages. Guests can get their adrenaline pumping, with ‘Tree Trekking’. This is sure to be a hit with children and adults alike. Traversing from tree to tree and reaching heights of up to six meters, this aerial adventure includes several challenges, culminating in an exhilarating 12-metre-high Zip Wire finale. On top of that, to name but a few, you can enjoy tennis, badminton, bowls, rowing, archery, horse riding. Basically, you think of it and Center Parcs offers you the chance to experience it. And the little ones aren’t forgotten either, with lots of indoor and outdoor activities for every age group.

For those who would rather sit back and relax, the very popular Aqua Sana Spa continues to receive huge praise, it has constantly picked up prestigious Hotel Spa of the Year at the Professional Spa Awards. Each Aqua Sana Spa offers a unique choice of spa experiences, all hidden within the tranquillity of a beautiful forest. In addition, there’s a comprehensive range of face and body treatments for both men and women.

There is a well-stocked supermarket on site and a range of fantastic restaurants for every taste so you won’t go hungry!

All in all, a fantastic holiday experience that all the family can enjoy.
