Hello!

Have booked Center Parcs at Whinfell for a Mon-Fri in spring. We’re first timers. 2 adults and a 3 year old. Hoping anyone that has been can share their experience/give advice 😊

  • any specific activities you’d recommend for 3 year old? I’ve booked the mini off-roading, mini aerial adventure, family ball wall and pottery painting. I’m thinking an activity a day should be plenty with having the swimming/walks/ cycling/play parks etc?
  • any restaurants you would recommend/avoid? 3yo is a great eater. Would rather have a smaller portion of whatever we’re eating than the usual nuggets/pizza/sausage/chips offerings on some kids menus.
  • We’re staying in Penrith the night before so we can arrive early and make the most of the first day. Any recommendations on somewhere nice to eat dinner? Maybe a nice pub that does a Sunday roast?
  • Anything you would advise taking that we may not have thought of? 😊

Any advice welcomed 😊

Might want to take a picnic! There is a very nice cafe but it’s very expensive! There are picnic seats up near the adventure playground at the back.

@JennyLake I’ll keep that in mind, thank you 😊

Not that I want to mention the wonders of Booth's again... But they usually have a lovely deli counter with fresh made quiche and pies etc. Would make a lovely picnic.

And again, I don't work for them 😁

@BigBoysDontCry ohh don’t tell me that 😅💸 I just know this week away is going to cost me a fortune 😂
