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

They seem to just keep cutting costs whilst raising prices. I usually go every year but I've nothing booked this year because every time I go it seems a little worse than the last time.

What gets me is how wasteful centre parks is by default: everything that gets left, gets binned.

What do you mean "everything that gets left gets binned". Surely people just take their belongings home with them, what do you suppose "gets left"?

Interesting we had absolutely nothing and neither did our friends.

There's always been one roll in each toilet when we've stayed at Center Parcs

It is standard at Longleat center parks at least that you get 1 loo roll.per bathroom. I would assume it has been forgotten about and go to customer services to pick up some.

Okay I must live in a parallel universe cause dh is a pilot so we got to the continent a lot. Never stayed anywhere that didn’t supply loo roll.

Yes, I never heard of this. Travel a lot to continental Europe, born in another country. Starting you off with a loo roll in the toilet is basics of the basics.

@Mumsntfan1yes. You must poo in the small bathroom in the porch and never in the one next to the kitchen

Switcher · 04/01/2026 15:27

The comedy prices are why we don't go any more. I can afford it but I'm not a cash cow for their private equity owners to keep milking in exchange for making no new investments in the amenities. I expect a lot more than that crap for that kind of money.

I’m just back.

six in main bathroom, AND a full packet of nine in poo bathroom.

so, I suspect, cleaner arrived, got distracted by a squirrel, ran to stop it entering lodge, door slammed shut, loo roll was left with me and you were forgotten.

Do you get a special poo bathroom at centre parks?

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

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

I have a bowel problem & they’ve always made sure to include one loo roll there at the start of my stay. You just need to contact their customer service team.

Surely everybody needs loo roll.

Baboutheocelot · 04/01/2026 15:19

Before Covid the cleaners came in every day and topped up the loo roll. They don’t do that now but they normally leave you with at least one in each toilet when you arrive.

TheMateofOphelia · 04/01/2026 15:19

The expectation is if you can afford centre parces then you'll wipe with a bunch of fifties.

Did you ask them? It may well have been an oversight.

MiddleAgedDread · 04/01/2026 15:17

YANBU id expect any self catering property to have some in each bathroom even if it’s not a full roll or enough to last your entire stay.

How bizarre. I expect anywhere self catering to have one lol roll to get you started and then you buy more/bring some with you. I’d feedback your surprise to CP and see what they say.

BettysRoasties · 04/01/2026 15:15

Pretty standard to be given a roll or size wise a half roll in each toilet in self catering places.

Then you buy more.

MellowNewt · 04/01/2026 15:13

I think it’s ridiculous it’s not given as standard. Fair enough they give it but what an absolute pain in the arse.

You don’t usually have to contact them. Usually there’s a stater roll in each loo… your cleaner must have forgotten or run out and forgot to come back with it.

But they are given as standard. We go 2-3 times a yearc most recent was a couple weeks ago, and have never had no toilet roll. I suspect the housekeeper has missed it.

MellowNewt · 04/01/2026 15:14

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

Could be the difference between self catering in the UK and abroad? I’ve never done self catering abroad, only in the UK, and it took me a while to get into the habit of bringing extra toilet roll!

Smartiepants79 · 04/01/2026 15:13

Been several times to three different centre parcs. Always get given toilet roll. Did you go to guest services and ask? Always found them very helpful.
