REQUIRES IMPROVEMENT AND BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE

Our holiday started 30/06/2025 for 1 week, We contacted centre parcs before we arrived asking for a air conditioner for the duration of our stay, they said it wouldnt be a problem and we could hire one. When we arrived they had none. They reassured us we would all have 1 fan in every bedroom as part of rooms amenities, when we got to the room we had no fans in any of the 3 bedrooms. We text day after day trying to get atleast 1 fan it was 38°C and we stressed we had a young infant. They stated they had none left, when you go to the reception and staff members have 3 fans on themselves and tells us they have no more even though every bedroom should have 1, when they said they would send us one they didnt. This didnt start our trip off very well. The cabins are loverly, clean. The swimming facilitys are amazing we spent alot of time there only disapointment is they close early at 8pm. And food and drinks was stopped be served at 4pm in the swimming area. We didnt eat at any of the restaurants on site as they too closed at 8pm and wouldnt let you in from 7pm which was really bizarre. Everything closed really early, bowling at 9pm. Even though there was so many people around. The bar also shut at 9pm, what bars shut at 9pm! They also had a strict dresscode, we arrived one day in shorts and another in a vest top and where refused entry, the weather was 38°C in a family centre parcs surely no dress code would be needed. Requires improvement and better opening hours.

Accomodation high quality and immaculately clean and site well maintained. Lots to do on site from parks, paid activities (such as pony and boat rides ) and unlimited access to the aqua mundo which is fantastic. Location is also great just a short drive from the disney parks and shopping centre. We will be back!

Fantastic week away

Fantastic week stay at the Villages nature the accommodation was a 3 bed premium cottage. Slept 5 very comfortably plenty of space. Great kitchen with everything you need for cooking. Great pool and plenty of other things on site to keep the kids entertained.

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed our week at Center Parcs, place was very quiet and relaxing, had a couple of small issues with lodge but worked through issues quickly with team which was great. Also having Disney on the doorstep was great for kids. My parents are less mobile so got a golf buggy which also went down a treat with my kids

No air conditioning or fans as standard

They were several issues with our voyage from the moment we arrived. The wrist bands that were meant to open the front door didn’t work. We couldn’t get in ! We didn’t know who to contact as there is no reception desk as such. The wrist bands are issued as you drive in. Following the advice of another family we went around the back of the voyage and got in through the unlocked patio doors. The property was exceptionally hot and there is no air conditioning or fans. It was over 30 degrees. It was impossible to cool the place. The safe had been left in a locked position so we were unable to use it. The TV had awful reception so was pixelated with distorted sound. The app didn’t work for us as we booked through hotels.com so we didn’t have a center parcs booking number. There was a phone number to WhatsApp with concerns that we later found inside the cottage. I messaged the number but received a reply to say that it closed at 8.30pm. None of us slept very well because of the heat. The next morning I messaged again. It was very difficult to get a response. After multiple messages and visits to the front gate we finally got some fans at 10.30pm. Somebody called to look at the safe early afternoon but left it unfixed and said maintenance would come but that never happened the other issues were never addressed. We had to leave the cottage unlocked because of the problem with the front door and we couldn’t secure our passports and tech.

Excellent base for Disney!

We have just returned from a week at Villages Nature. This was the perfect base for our family whilst visiting Disneyland. Bus stop at entrance for 47 to and from Disney and Val d'Europe mall. Swimming pool was out of this world and whole site was so peaceful, clean and calming!
Rosanna, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

Shocking from start to finish

Not great to say the least. The communication is shocking and the app is very poor. There is limited translation into English and it’s very difficult and confusing to work out where to go and what to do. You cannot access the app without a booking number, if you book through hotels.com you don’t get a booking number. There are no interactive maps of the property and even the paper maps should you be lucky enough to find one are poorly designed. If you love aggravation then this is the place for you!!

Wonderful stay in VIP cottage. We have previously stayed in Comfort Cottages but really enjoyed the extra space and views from VIP. Whirlpool bath also a big hit! Fabulous stay. Highlight was seeing a beaver from our patio. One star knocked off as UK visitors can no longer use the app making checking basic info like opening times and booking activities more difficult. Note that if booking via hotels.com you cannot check in online in advance, despite all the pre-travel information telling you to do so.

Lovely weekend break.

Lovely family holiday. Great accommodation, close to Disney, with good in site facilities. Kids loved the pool. The cabin was hot! We were worried we would be cold, but the opposite was true.
Emma, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay.

Amazing setting for a pre and post Disney excursion! The pool and facilities are fantastic. Short walks from all. The sofa in the accommodation could have been more comfortable and the proximity of the bedrooms are a fair distance from each other but both a personal preference. We had a wonderful stay and would return even without heading into Disney!

The property and activities are excellent. The only negative was that all three mattresses are very hard and are really uncomfortable.
Kristian, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had the best time here. The accommodation and facilities were lovely. The only thing we would suggest needs sorting is the floor is VERY slippy around the swimming pool and changing room areas. Also in the wet room in our vip cottage. My dad is disabled and this was dangerous
Michelle, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

Great for spider lovers & dirty unhygienic people

No electricity, and emergency contact details and front desk don’t pick up or take accountability. Accommodation so dirty, they clean a whole two floor three bedroom cottage in less than an hour, and full of spiders everywhere! So if you don’t want to spend your holiday killing spiders or having a holiday with them then not the place for you
Joan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good : The accommodation was great - nice decor, clean, well equipped. The same high standards you would get from Center Parcs in the UK . It had 3 spacious bedrooms , 1 bathroom, a toilet room and 1 shower/wet-room with toilet. Livingroom /kitchen was open . The kitchen was well equipped, there was a large table and sitting area. Nice patio area. The swimming pool was amazing, loads of slides, a wave pool, jacuzzi, lazy river outside.There are plenty activities on-site. There's a farm, supermarket, shops, restaurants, bowling and escape room. All were reasonable price for being on a purpose built resort. You can hire bikes and electric buggies . We stayed here as going days to Paris and Disneyland Paris. Excellent location for this . Away from it all but close enough to visit. Not so good: location of cottage was furthest away from reception (about 30mins ) so with suitcases and no luggage transfers was difficult. You could hire the electric buggies but these were expensive as cottage only used as a base. Customers with cars were placed near to amenities while non drivers further away. Always pay more to choose your cottage ! Smoke alarm bleeping .This was notified on the number given but nobody came out to fix it ( we were told not to touch it). Ants in shower/wet room, could see this being a bigger problem high season . Towels- you need to hire them as not enough in cottage and they dont get changed . No change of bedsheets either which is rubbish for 1 week stays

Lovely resort, smelly bedroom and uncomfortable

The lodge itself was lovely and the placement. However there was an awful smell in the double bedroom throughout the entire stay. There was also a few cobwebs around and dead insects, the sofa wasn’t very comfortable at all for relaxing on. However checking in/out was very simple, and the resort itself was lovely
Victoria, 4-night trip

Great family trip

Had a great family stay here. Done 4 days in Disney first then came to Les Villages Nature for 5 days. Lots to do here so can always keep busy or chill. Overall the cottage was in good condition, but finer details like pulling out the couches and the beds to clean properly underneath would make it better. There was only one fan so it would be good to have two, one for each room when it is warm of an evening. Restaurants are quite expensive, but what you would expect. The supermarket Franprix on site is good value for a lot if stuff. We would recommend here and return.
