Visitors to Center Parcs, which has a holiday village in Nottinghamshire and has its headquarters in New Ollerton, love the facilities but have criticised the prices according to a survey published by Which? today (Friday July 29). The consumer champion released the findings of more than 2,200 stays at holiday parks across the UK.
Customers ranked holiday parks on price, accommodation, cleanliness, food and drink, entertainment, customer services, facilities and value for money. Potters Resorts, which has sites in Norfolk and Suffolk, came out on top with five out of five stars in every category and a customer score of 88 per cent.
Family favourite Center Parcs, which is a Nottinghamshire-based company and has six locations including Sherwood Forest, came 12th in the table out of 19 different venues. It scored just two stars for value for money as guests reported paying £71 per night on average with extra activities on top, finding it was almost the same price as first-place Potters – an all-inclusive. One guest said it was “second mortgage” expensive.
