Center Parcs urges guests to respect rule of six when booking (2024)
Center Parcs at Elveden Forest is one of many holiday resorts asking customers to rearrange their bookings as a result of the government’s ‘rule of six’ for Covid-19.
The new measures mean it is now illegal for groups of six or more to meet in public or indoors, putting many group staycations on hold.
A spokesman for Center Parcs said: “At Center Parcs we continue to follow government advice. We ask that all of our guests keep up to date with the latest information to understand what this means for their own personal circ*mstances.
“If any of our guests are impacted by this update, or other Covid-19 related issues, then we are offering flexibility with our Book with Confidence guarantee.
“This allows guests to receive a full refund or change their booking date free of charge in the four weeks before their arrival date.”
A number of group bookings of more than six – who had originally booked one villa between two households – have since either booked two separate villas, rescheduled or cancelled their holidays as a result of the tighter measures.
Households and support bubbles of more than six people exempt from these rules and Center Parcs has said they will turn people away who are believed to be flouting the rules.
Those who have visited the holiday park recently have praised the company for how well they have followed the rules, their cleanliness and their refund policy.
The name Elveden seems to come from Old English *ælfa-dene 'elves' valley': the name appears, translated into Latin, as vallis nympharum 'valley of nymphs' in the mid-12th-century Miracula sancte Wihtburge. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the village was often referred to as Elden.

Can I purchase day passes for my friends and family? Family and friends are welcome to join you on your break for the day – all you need to do is pre-book our special Visitor Passes.

Invite friends and family coming with you to the booking so they too can book activities, restaurants and view the itinerary. It's really easy to do via the edit guest details pages of your account, or watch our video for a step-by-step guide.
Don't forget you are welcome to spend the rest of the day with us on your departure day, however please ensure your car is returned to the car park and vacate the village by midnight. Should you need to leave the village before departure day for any reason please inform Guest Services or Security, prior to departing.
Crowded, even before the school holidays, noisy, nowhere to swim, nowhere to relax, shallow water and a Lazy River that should be renamed Crazy River. The planners obviously put a lot more thought into the rides and flumes than they did into the Pool area, which used to be the trademark of Center Parcs.
Do you pay per person or per lodge at Center Parcs? You pay per lodge. Each lodge can accommodate a maximum number of guests depending on the number of bedrooms, up to a maximum of 8 guests in a four-bedroom lodge.
Center Parcs always has a 'come back soon' offer, which allows people who have stayed to get £50 discount on a new booking within 30 days of their last trip. However, this offer is currently open to everyone, whether you have been to Center Parcs before or not.
You also had to strip the beds and take out the rubbish, as well as ensuring the kitchen was left as found. This made the cleanliness issue almost worse, as they didn't have that much left to do! The beds were very comfortable and the living space was good.
Hello, every lodge as different facilities. No need to take towels and toilet roll as these are provided. There is a dishwasher in the executive lodges, and I'm sure all other lodges will have these, failing that washing up liquid is provided for washing up once a day.
On your arrival day you can arrive on village from 10am and start enjoying our facilities. You will be able to access your accommodation from 4pm. If you have booked early arrival, a Treehouse, or an Exclusive Lodge you will be able to access your accommodation from 2pm. What do I do when I get there?
Enjoyed our weekend but found some things to be very expensive - you are a captive audience. My wife ran out of cigarettes and had to get them from Parc Market at cost of £9.50 for a pack of 20. Cycles are £26 for the weekend - rip-off.
Yes - when leaving your dog alone in your lodge, we recommend shutting bedroom doors and closing your living room curtains to create a calmer environment for them.
Family and friends are welcome to join you on your break – all you need to do is pre-book our special Visitor Passes. Then they can get stuck into the activities and adventures with you during the day – whether you fancy some competitive fun or something a little gentler.
