Mum's £1,100 Center Parcs trip ruined by 'lack of common sense'

A mum has said she'll never return to Center Parcs after her £1,100 break was "ruined".

Daniela Sponder spent three hours and 40 minutes driving to the Sherwood Forest site in Nottinghamshire on July 1. The 35-year-old paid extra for a lodge for herself, her husband, and two children, a son aged two and a now 16-week-old daughter, so they could be by the lake.

But when they arrived, they found the back patio was covered in bird excrement. Daniela, who works in HR, raised a complaint with guest services on the site, and says she was told it would be sorted within the next 24 hours and it would be jet washed.
