Half term holiday plans ruined for families as Center Parcs closes three sites due to storm damage

Center Parcs has decided to close three of its sites as a result of storm damage, spoiling the holiday plans of many families.

The holiday company has stressed the "decision was not taken lightly" and acknowledged the disappointment that will be felt by many.

A statement read: "In light of the damage to our villages caused by Storm Eunice we have taken the decision to close Elveden, Longleat & Woburn Forest. The storm has been persistent over the weekend which has slowed the clean-up process for our team.

"We understand that this will be disappointing news for those guests who were due to arrive tomorrow but keeping everyone as safe as possible and maintaining our standards is always our priority. We do not take the decision to close our villages lightly and we hope our guests will understand why we feel it is necessary to take this course of action.

"We expect to re-open the above villages to guests arriving on Friday, February 25

"Guests due to arrive at Elveden, Longleat & Woburn Forest tomorrow will receive a text and email today. Any impacted guests can now either change the date of their break or take a full refund."

Instructions on how to apply for a refund can be found by visiting the Centre Parcs website by clicking here.
