Centreparcs not giving loo roll

I’m sorry but I think after the amount you spend on CP it is a complete piss take they don’t give you loo roll. Luckily I had pocket tissues but what on Earth?? That level of stinginess has really put me off ever returning

Is it anything to do with the lodge type? Ie, we stayed in an executive lodge in November and definitely had toilet roll in each bathroom. Just wondering if you stay in the basic lodge, that you don’t get toilet roll included?

Possibly… we both stayed in the basic lodges. Overall it wasn’t an issue but we did expect there to be one on arrival and then for us top up throughout the stay

Interesting we had absolutely nothing and neither did our friends.

There’s a shop for supplies at Centerparcs.

We stayed in the cheapest lodge available. Still not cheap mind.

we always stay in the lodges that are closest to facilities (you pay extra) so wondering if that’s why we always have loo roll?

ELMhouse · 04/01/2026 17:21

We go to CP each year (Sherwood Forest) and always have loo roll, In fact we go to guest services when we run out and they provide more if needed. How strange you haven’t had the same.

Agree, we also didn’t have loo roll on arrival when we stayed neither did our family members in a different lodge.

It’s a rubbish troll thing isnt it, all the stuff you could be getting your kicks from and to choose loo roll. I assume it’s faeces they really like?

I suppose they are simple to please, it must be a nightmare in a supermarket when they see a full aisle of it.

Humans are odd.

Like I said I’m not. It’s extremely rude to carry on assuming I am

Only been once (that was enough) about 7 years ago and there were 2 loo rolls but they were the very cheap awful kind.

I did wonder. Poo troll was so annoying.

There's this one, one about loo roll versus wet wipes, one about guests using too much, and one about running out while on holiday.

They're self-catering - you're meant to provide your own.

Every self catering I’ve been to provides loo roll. Even if just one or two rolls and you’re meant to top it up yourself.

This is the fourth thread about loo roll I've seen on here today. What is going on? 🤣

No idea but they can bog off Grin

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 04/01/2026 16:55

We went recently and there was one roll in each of the bathrooms. They give you a list of things you do and don’t need to bring when you book; loo roll is listed. We just buy onsite.

You ARE allowed to drive your car to the lodge when loading and unloading at the start and the end of the week 🤷🏻‍♀️ and we’ve also been allowed to do it when we’ve had to leave the evening before checkout day.

Yes we took the car straight to the door to unload which was very handy. I enjoyed the no car and cycling element.

But have you contacted guest services? You’ve been asked a few times but don’t appear to have replied.
I’ve always had a loo roll and a spare when we’ve been to CP and guest services are usually very good.

No cause I had tissues and a Tesco shop was being picked up by a friend which had plenty. The issues resolved itself.

Been loads of time, always loo rolll then you buy more at the handy shop.

Your housekeeping must've missed you op, I wouldn't fret about it these things happen.

I’m not fretting. I was lead to believe CP don’t provide toilet paper full stop. If that were the case then I think that’s pretty unacceptable. But I think we were simply missed. We had a Tesco shop to pick up so it wasn’t a massive issue. It was really just the principle of they deliberately didn’t provide any.

How much are you using???

Barrenfieldoffucks · 04/01/2026 16:47

MellowNewt · 04/01/2026 15:11

We stay away a lot in self catering. Always get given loo roll. CP is the only place I have not been given any.

Edited

We were there over New Year's, had a roll plus a spare in each loo. We were only there 4 days and didn't need to get any more. We were given a designated EV charging slot for the week and it all worked very smoothly. This was Woburn, but have had similar experiences at Longleat.

May try Bluestone next year.

One thing that does annoy me about CP is that you can’t use the parking spaces, even if your lodge is assigned one and you have a Blue Badge. It’s a bit much, as people aren’t driving around the site; just using it to load and unload their stuff at the start and end of their break.

You ARE allowed to drive your car to the lodge when loading and unloading at the start and the end of the week 🤷🏻‍♀️ and we’ve also been allowed to do it when we’ve had to leave the evening before checkout day.

(sorry)

Catsonskis · 04/01/2026 16:41

I’m literally at Whinfell cp right now and we arrived to toilet roll in all the bathrooms of our 4 bed ensuite lodge, a soap in all the bathrooms. Had to replenish but it’s self catering and what else do you expect when here for a week!

LumpyandBumps · 04/01/2026 16:37

I’ve been going to Center Parcs for nearly 20 years. There has always been at least one loo roll in each bathroom. There are sometimes extras in the boiler cupboard.

FruitWordSalad · 04/01/2026 16:35

We've self catered for decades, must be well over a hundred times. I have never stayed anywhere SC that didn't provide loo rolls, so that's not an excuse for lack of provision.
