Treehouse Review

The Treehouse is as good as all the hype promised!, The space, the décor, facilities and customer service are fantastic. Everything we could have wanted or needed was provided. Center Parcs and their Treehouse hosts provided so many special touches it’s hard to choose any one in particular to tell you about….the complimentary bar, the gift basket, the coffees and teas, the token gift for the children, the log fire lit when you arrive and the champagne chilled and ready to go.

So where do I start - the games room – what can I say! The AMBX lighting was just a superb finishing touch to a brilliant entertainment room including the all important bar and dishwasher, there was even a selection of soft drinks for the children. There’s plenty of room for all to play both the Wii and on the pool table at the same time. The TV quality in both the lounge and the games room was superb and the surround sound was awesome if not scary at times :o)

The lounge is divine, so very comfortable and a great room to chill together as a family and chat, watch movies and share special new memories to keep forever and ever! I loved having the log fire glowing, iPod playing and drinking bubbly with my precious family in this beautiful room.

The spiral staircase is a masterpiece, built by one man in Canada and it is every bit as special to walk on as it is to look at. The bedrooms were equally beautiful, restful and spacious with plenty of storage areas and the bathrooms with their rainforest showers with jets from every direction were a pleasure to go in….I had difficulty prising myself out of them because they were so relaxing! There are toilets in every bedroom, one in the hall way and one outside for the “spa” area.

Dining was easy and great – we really didn’t want to move out of the Treehouse and wanted to enjoy every minute so we cooked each night and all mod cons were supplied together with top quality dinnerware, barware and cutlery.

And then after all that there’s the eco factors, heating the treehouse from sources 130 metres below the ground, recycled hot tub water to flush toilets, lights that come on and off automatically….the list is endless and Center Parcs have done a great job here to help protect the environment.

We received the highest quality accommodation; facilities and customer care during our stay in the Treehouse and sincerely wish to thank Center Parcs for a very special and absolutely fantastic break. We hope we can visit again soon!

My Center Parcs Memory

I remember approaching the park, the Center Parcs sign we see
We're are always inquistive, excited and happy as can be
The arrival lodge has staff full of smiles
While the cycle park has bikes travelled miles

We've laughed and we've ran to the centre of fun
I've lost count how many times this memory we've redone
To the original Elveden our memories now rest
Entering the centre the bakery smell was the best

When we learned of its fate, we felt bereaved
To Elveden our holiday cancelled so instead we did grieve
We had watched TV in horror, saw the terrible cost
Our hearts were saddened, an old friend was lost

When the park reopened we just had to be there
So we booked and ourselves we did prepare
With trepidation we travelled to the reinvented park
To see our new friend, a turning point it did mark

Laughing together to the centre of fun we ran
To build a new memory, as fast as we can
We marvelled and drank in the new sites galore
Martin Dalby had given us our Elveden and more

We raced to dive in to the famous water filled dome
My children safe and so free to roam
We've swam and we've splashed for so many days
Thinking back about this, my face smiles always

Late nights walking through the forest so dark
With log fires burning, the smell warms your heart
I get warm and fuzzy when these things I recall
Our kids have grown up at CP seems no time at all

These days are so precious for my family and me
Our photo album bursting for all to see
We shall always collect new memories in your park
Until our lives have ended and become dark

Center Parcs you have given us so many years of good times
From the late nights swimming, eating and fine wines
Our family salute you and all your staff too
For making our time together matter, we truly love you
