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

CP is ridiculously expensive for what it is. Self catering properties usually provide at least one toilet roll in each bathroom. Generally you buy your own after that.

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

I was just thinking this!

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 04/01/2026 16:23

I have been 4 yea in a row and there's ALWAYS loo roll. The last time we had loo roll on 2 of the bathrooms but not the 3rd, we called customer services and they brought loads to us.
Just contact them, it's not an issue.

GiantTeddyIsTired · 04/01/2026 16:21

That's weird - we've always had a starter loo-roll - and that's at many Center Parcs, in 3 different countries (my children are creatures of habit)

I do always take some too though..

An edit - check the boiler cupboard (I always investigate everything) - sometimes I've found a stash there.

I’ve been about a dozen times and there has always been a loo roll in each bathroom/loo (but we pack extra as they probably cost a fortune in the shop)

So do we now have loo roll trolls? Is it poo troll adjacent?

Always get it at CP.

It’s pretty fucking rude to accuse me of being a troll. I’m not btw. Never commented or created a threat about loo or poo before.

I guess we were missed. But friends staying in a different lodge were also without

I’m wondering whether they may have had some supply issues so stocks of loo rolls are a bit limited and it’s a case of housekeepers grabbing it when they can, as I’ve seen a couple of comments on SM about this in the week or so, but it has been very inconsistent, different style lodges etc, so I don’t think it’s a new policy. And if they were planning on stopping supplying it, I think they’d announce it on the news section of their website.

We went in December and stayed in the cheapest lodge going (It was under £550, which was split between two families, so really cheap), and we had plenty.

I messaged a group chat I’m on and my friends said the loo roll thing is well known.

So you've messaged a group chat and you've started a thread here, but you've not actually checked with the place you're staying? FFS. How helpless are people these days?!

swapsicles · 04/01/2026 16:08

Always had loo roll provided but generally take extra to last just in case.
Not sure why you're complaining on here before asking guest services though!
Oh and we always refer to the loo in the hall as the one to be used for number 2's but since upgraded to ensuite accommodation so no longer an issue 😂

Seems strange you AND your friends would both be missed by housekeeping 🤨

I was there in December and had a supply in each bathroom. Same as every other stay as It’s provided as standard. Even states this on their website.

Lots of loo roll threads today… just saying!

YANBU
Self catering can vary massively but we always self cater and I've only ever been to one place that didnt supply toilet roll.
And CP is not exactly a budget option, so id expect at least one roll per bathroom

Migraleveyellow · 04/01/2026 16:04

Stayed in umpteen self catering places in the UK. Sykes; national trust, English Heritage … Always had loo roll provided. The catering bit refers to food. I’d be pretty cross to get no loo roll, plus the owner is probably risking their drains as new arrivals would need to use whatever they had to hand…

Redwinedaze · 04/01/2026 16:03

That’s poor for the high prices, I stay in Airbnbs a lot all self catering and have never not had at least one toilet roll and usually some tea/coffee is also available.

Seawolves · 04/01/2026 16:02

Did you contact Guest Services about it?

Kibble19 · 04/01/2026 15:58

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.

Notmyreality · 04/01/2026 15:57

Always had at least one roll provided at CP whenever we’ve been. After it’s gone you provide your own.

Been to Whinfell multiple times and never had this issue. Always one on the holder and a spare in each bathroom. Towels all fine too.

haveaword · 04/01/2026 15:55

We were regular visitors to CP.

Kids got older so it had less appeal but ok did a short break and not main holiday - but omg the last time we stayed just noticed how tired the accommodation was and yes not enough toilet roll.

Kelticgold · 04/01/2026 15:52

Fitzcarraldo353 · 04/01/2026 15:40

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.

What? I saw 3 threads, I thought there were too many 🤣

MyCatStoleSausages · 04/01/2026 15:47

One of my childhood memories is being with my grandparents when they were packing to bring us to centreparcs. My grandmother asked my grandfather to stick some loo roll in the bag and my grandfather said no, we would be fine without it. My grandmother snarked back at him 'What are you going to use instead Dennis, your finger?'

I was far too young to take any notice of whether or not loo roll was actually provided but that exchange has stuck in my memories 30 years later for some bizarre reason.

Makemeanonymous · 04/01/2026 15:41

Yesterday I was actually looking at accommodation in my own area - because of a thread posted on MN I was being nosey.
Most of it was self catering and I saw some of them actually stated Toilet Rolls amongst the things that were included in items supplied. I found this quite amusing because I'd assumed toilet rolls would be supplied as standard . And lo and behold this thread pops up today and yet again I feel totally out of touch with what is normal these days.

I'm old enough to remember that when I was a child and we stayed in B and Bs for our holidays we had to take our own towels because the land ladies didn't supply them. We were a family of 5 travelling by train and the amount of space taken up in our suitcases with towels for a fortnight was a serious inconvenience.

Facecream24 · 04/01/2026 15:40

I got back less than a week ago and had loo rolls in all 3 toilets and a spare in a couple of them too so they do definitely give it.

Poo troll? There used to be a prolific one a few years back.
