Forest holidays feedback

[Ilikewinter]

Hi,
Am looking for a short break in February 2023 for DH 50th birthday and it needs to be dog friendly!.
Im down to either Centre Parcs or Forest Holidays as I cant find anywhere else open in February, plus I dont fancy a caravan in the cold.
Has anyone been to on a Forest Holiday and can give some feedback please?
Or other recommendations would be gratefull - it cant be a hotel as winterpup cant be in our bedroom!.
Im in North west so Cornwall is out as we dont want to travel that far in February just for a few days....just incase we get snow

We went with Forest Holidays last year to the New Forest. It was pretty pricey and I think they have increased their prices since then too. However, we had an absolutely amazing time, the accommodation was very comfortable and relaxing. I think we had a golden oak lodge, not sure but we had log burner and jacuzzi. We saw deer every day and they came pretty close to the lodge, lovely sitting with the patio doors open, having a coffee, listening to the birds and spotting deer. We had a lovely relaxing break and would definitely go back.
Also we found their customer service to be excellent. We originally had to change our dates due to covid: my husband is a GP and we were worried in the beginning that he wouldn’t get the time off work as things were quite frantic. So I emailed and explained the situation and they sorted out a later date for us, no fuss and wrote a lovely reply back basically saying thank you to DH for his work during the pandemic.

We went to Sherwood Forest one in summer 2020. Had a golden oak lodge. Had none of the issues others have described but perhaps we were just lucky. I thought the lodges themselves were very nice and really enjoyed the hot tub. Lodges are spaced out so you have privacy. Lovely to walk into the forest. We went as a young family but can see it being a relaxing break too.

We have been 3 times.
First time to Sherwood Forest in a 2 bed golden oak, booked very last minute during a brief gap in 2020 when they were open and we could leave our region. It was very peaceful and the cabin seemed quite recently updated. The walls were lovely.
We went again to Sherwood Forest in the same cabin type at the end of 2021 but with our dog. Cabin was very dog friendly and he enjoyed the walks. It was again very peaceful.
Then in February we stayed with friends in a treehouse at Forest of Dean and it wasn’t very good. The treehouse was a nice design but was starting to look tired. There were w lot of very loud people staying so it didn’t feel like the peaceful Forest. I wouldn’t return to that site.

If I book it, it will be to the one at Delamere forest, I know its quite new so hoping the the comments about tired looking accommodation wont apply there just yet!
