Mum says her £1,100 trip to Center Parcs ruined by bird poo on the patio

A mum says her first ever visit to Center Parcs at Sherwood Forest has "put them right off from ever going back" after her holiday was ruined by bird poo. Daniela Sponder and her family live in Croydon, South East London and made a 180 mile trip up to the Sherwood Forest site near Clipstone in Nottinghamshire.

The 35-year-old, her husband and their two children, a son aged two and a now 16-week-old daughter, spent three hours and 40 minutes on July 1 driving across England to reach their holiday destination. They had spent just under £1,100 on a week's stay.

But upon arrival at their lodge, which they'd paid extra for as it was by the lake, they found their back patio to be 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.
