If you want to feed the squirrels you should come to our garden we have lots of them they even knock on the door for monkey nut's.
Great video love little Casper 😍
Michelle in her dreams I would like to go on to the centre parcs by Michelle..
Caspar is such a happy, smiley little chap. What wonderful parents he has x
The dimples get me every time he is such a cutie 🤗
That's kind of you to say , thank you

He is a sweet little boy. And so well behaved.
I was thinking the same thing. He is SO LOVED, well adjusted and sweet! He is going to grow up to be a wonderful lovely man!
Casper smiling, laughing and having fun warms my heart. I miss my kids being that age, enjoy. They grow up all too quickly.
he helped: he showed the couches are kid-friendly with his climbing and bouncing 🤣
I know he's changing so much already 😢

im here aged 30 wondering why ive let myself be so lonely my whole life. Im missing out 😪
Even my grumpy ol husband loves watching you and you're wonderful family! The world is yearning for wholesome content like this! Thanks from Arizona USA
Thanks so much!!
What a lovely family… so honest & nice xx
My two tips for centre parcs....
1) Do you research and book what you want to do in advance, including meals. All activities get booked up well in advance, and they are done on a first come basis - most of what we wanted to do was booked for the entire weekend before we even booked in to our chalet. Otherwise to eat at the most popular restaurants you will end up eating either really early or late.
2) It's expensive- everything apart from the swimming pool pretty much costs you money, and it's not cheap (the ropes course was £28 per child and lasted 20 minutes). Food even at the supermarket is dear, so do a shop before you arrive (and bring your own alcohol, milk, tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, cordial, pop, shower gel, bread etc - you literally have nothing in your chalet). £31 for 2 small English breakfasts is a good example.
Good points
Really valid points made.... Ive been long gone from the Uk, but for many years with a family it was always the case of bringing a lot of your own items as its save a large amount of money. booking... well last minute is often cheaper, but like you say most of the features are booked up... its a choice you have to make.
In regards to food shops, one of the Centre Parcs (Elveden) actually has a large retail park thats about a 5 minute drive from the place itself with several supermarket stores so that one is quite easy if you need to buy more stuff.
He can afford it
With regards to a grocery haul, there’s a Tesco superstore 5 minutes up the road from Woburn, for essentials, booze etc
Sauna talk from 11:25
Gaby "I think we should just let it all hang out" 😂
Hilarious when Tim asks Gabby about stains on the couches, and Gabby’s face is like “yes Tim, because every couple that stay in here shag on them” 😂😂😂 its like classic partridge 😂
More women have been rogered on that sofa than a coppers radio! 😂😂
And then Gaby telling Tim to just "let it all hang out" in the sauna 😂
So funny 😅
We should of brought the infrared and filmed 😅
Have no words 😂
No. 1 you forgot to do a 'bed test' as in HAIRS and stuff and no 2, your Casper is ALWAYS smiling and laughing...what a lovely little lad he is !! Never crys at all !...Very good info vid as always. 👍👍👍👍
Guys, the plural for deer, is deer 😅 Great video as always Tim, I know this isn't a recent video but I've somehow missed the centre parcs videos!
Unless you're talking about multiple breeds of deer 😉
I’ve never commented on any video but Casper in his little yellow outfit and the life jacket was the cutest thing ever! ❤️❤️🥰🥰
Used to go all the time as a child here in the early 2000s. My dad knew someone who worked there and they used to do cheap deals for families of friends before it became as commercial. £50 for a weekend in a 3 bed lodge in October then with family deal! It was a lot more spacious and no Starbucks or anything - less packed. It’s still good now but this place used to be a lot more magical! I remember getting picked up early in year 2 and getting in the car and my parents driving here - always loved how each time you went, there was a different lodge and you could explore your ‘back garden’ space every time as something new
I wish Canada had these type of places. Here there are expensive, posh resorts for couples. This looks FUN!
£29 for half an hour on a boat is ludacrus. Should be a tenner at most.
Casper's too cute! All that fresh air really knocked him out. ⛵
Casper was almost giving a review of his own. Lots of running room!
Casper is beyond adorable.
What a lovely place, I'm sure. Caspar has the most endearing smile ever! What a cutie.
The two parcs are very similar, they were originally practically identical but Elvedon burnt down, when it was rebuilt there were changes. I like the fact that the Forresters Inn at Sherwood is much further away from the main buildings and to go there you actually feel like your going somewhere. The other big advantage of Sherwood, if you walk out of the main entrance and turn immediately left you will go down a fire break road for Sherwood Pines, which is a huge Forrest.
Really enjoyed this one , most likely we’ll book this for next year with some friends 😃
Casper always looks soo happy in your videos! what cracking parents you both are 🎉🎉
Thanks shane
Hi Tim was awesome to bump into you outside Starbucks at center parcs last week! amazing video as always! All the best.
What better way to start the weekend then a new upload with Tim. At present my favourite UA-cam channel.
That's very kind of you
We go to Longleat Centre Parcs every couple of years. It's always fantastic. Clean, welcoming and loads to do. Since the recent rise in holiday costs in the UK, it's no longer as expensive by comparison. Lovely at Christmas too.
What a genuine, happy family you have. So good to see 👍😊
Aww lovely casper. Bless him he's having the best time xx😊
Hi Tim, Gaby and Casper Lovely to see you again. This looked really nice the lodge looked great . Casper is living his best life you are amazing parents. Really enjoyed the vlog thanks for sharing with us. Love to you all as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Oh wow! That looks so amazing there with the lodge, glad to see that Casper enjoyed his self.
Looks lovely and cozy, and the food looked good , can’t believe how quickly your son is growing up , loved too see you all together as a family , of course I remember Gabby saying it’s a lot of work when your doing your vlogs too have time too enjoy the place your staying in , but hopefully you had a nice time together there , be safe and hope your Chanel goes from strength too strength, 😊
Oh it warms my heart how Casper is always smilling, giggling and full of action, it reminds me of my son when he was that age - wonderful times
Casper is so cute with his happy big smile. ❤❤
We spent a week at this Centre Parcs. We had six nieces and nephews with us. They loved it and was really nice to be in the countryside and was easy to manage so many kids because of how secure it is. The shop is pricey so we ate out more than eating in as it worked out as similar prices to feeding so many kids. I would definitely recommend 😁 be prepared to spared a lot of money though 🙌🏾xx
what a wonderful place,it looks so nice,and i love casper in that yellow colour,he is so cute,hes gona break some hearts when he grows up,bless him.
mum has been working at center parcs for over 25 years, I believe it closer the 30. at longleat forest, we get free stays there every year and 60% off the villa/room package. great place for kids and also so much to do. expensive once your there though, really expensive, even with discount lol
How do you get free stays and 60% off may i ask? : ) We go to Centreparcs a lot, and my wife is less abled.
@@benfletcher2911 it’s something every staff member has. 60% off 1 holiday each year. Free entry whenever you want with friends and family. Also get tickets to give to friends as well so they can go in.
@@oneway_sting3 REPLIES
This is so lovely. Enjoy. It passes so quickly.
Casper Laying down on the boat is such a mood! LoL 😂
Thanks Tim, Gabby and Casper. Great review as always. 🇿🇼
I have never been to center parks but would love to go and stay in one of those lodges. Casper looks like a mini Tim. Bless him ❤ xxxxx
Thanks Tim and Gabby and Casper enjoyable to watch as always look forward to the next Yvonne 😊
Nothin' more than a Pontins mock-up ! 😂😂😂😂
Casper is such a delightful little child! Isn’t he a happy chap!❤
It certainly is a stunning park Tim. Great tour.❤❤❤
Awww Ive fallen in love with Casper! Awww him in his little life belt is sooooo cute!!! Awww bless him!
I used to work here 20 odd years ago behind the bar in the dome.. loved it.. 84 degrees all year round.. and you were right about the rapids that terminate near the bar..pretty fast/steep and once a week, a few swimming garments would go amiss!
Hi Tim and Gabby, I'm really enjoying this i always wanted to go there but it was out of our price range but it's great that you both take us around 😊
Thank You Tim another great vlog your honest assessment always shines through ( that’s not a pun regarding the Centre Parks lighting )
Casper certainly enjoyed exploring your accommodation. The Tim and Gaby humour was brilliant too. Well Done
I have spent 2 long weekends at Centre Park resorts. Both lovely but spent my 60th birthday weekend in a Centre Park in Licolnshire. It was magical,in pine forest with resident pheasants wandering past and my grandson fed them in the woods just outside our lodge, so pretty. It snowed( my birthday is in February) and looked amazing in the forest. Then the snow melted and the paths were muddy and slippery but getting up in the morning and seeing the pheasants wander by and eat some of the food left by my grandson was enchanting,really pretty 😊😊
Well worth wathing, Thumps gets cuter every time. Thank you all for a lovely video, wish you a great weekend xx
You are so kind
Aww Casper melts my heart every time love you guys love your videos
loved this Tim, it was so nice to see Casper smiling and having his cheeky grin especially running all over the chalet, the pool area looked brill plus I love the fact that the chalet seem very spacious especially in their communal areas, the outside bbq area is a nice touch, I would have to agree with you that £30 pounds or so for breakfast is pretty steep thanks again for another fantastic video :D
I love you showing us all these video's, never realised how big these parks are. Casper seems so happy, what a lovely little boy.
Thank you 🤗
That looks lovely, never been to Center Parks, but what an experience. Thanks xx
Very enjoyable nice place looks like you all had a great time your little boy is do well behaved and happy which is great for you all centre park seems a great idea ( nature )
Enjoy watching both of you and Caspar ❤
Great video again Tim nice lodge and Casper once again was brilliant such a cutie well done xx
Nice Park tim and gaby looks a very nice place for the 3 of you casper looks like he is enjoying himself
Casper is ❤ so sweet and I hope you all have a great time .
I’ve never been to a Center Parcs but I am quite impressed 👍Thanks Tim , Gabby n Casper 🥰👍
I REALLY like gabby's comments throughout. I'd like to see your family more often!! 😀
I hope you have a wonderful time. I love wood smells aswell especially forests in fact that forest reminds me of the forest at Shugborough Education Centre.
I have a lot of happy childhood memories of this Center Parcs, especially the water rapids!
We love it when Tim comments about how many people can fit in the shower 😅. What are you getting up to when the camera isn't rolling? 😂😅
Think he's hinting 😂
What happens off camera stays off camera! 🤫🤣
Good vlogs guys, we go to Centre Parks every year and have done for 15-20 years but remember, they are sports villages as well as being a holiday park so you are not going to get entertainment. The lodges are ventilated for good reason on arrival days so you will notice linen and bedding feeling cool; in our visits to Centre Parks, we have never experienced any issues surrounding damp in any lodge we’ve stayed in and we have been virtually every month and season of the year. That being said, another informative blog, keep it up and looking forward to watching Gaby’s vlog
I love family resorts where everyone can have fun together. Caspar is so so cute. He seems to be adventurous and happy to experience everything 😍. I remember when I was young we’d go to the country to different resorts and one in particular was called Hidden valley Ranch it was an all inclusive with everything from horse back riding to boating on the lake to swimming in the pool three delicious meals a day with fireplaces in the cabins. I loved that place. There would be nighttime activities like talent shows put on by the guests, movie nights. I haven’t thought about that place in decades. I wonder if it’s still there. Those resorts were popular when I was young in the sixties/seventies great memories ❤. Thanks for sharing your fun family time I really enjoy it 👍
i remember going to center parcs at sherwood forest when i was a kid back in the 90s. i have many happy memories there and i'd love to visit again. i hope you both had a lovely time :) great vid!
Hope you 3 have /had a great stay it looks gorgeous 😍
Had a very “messy” work’s team building night and day here….wine was involved! Thanks for the memories!
What a cute lodge. Slightly on the expensive side for me for a short stay. Great video, thanks for sharing 😊
This video is pretty nostalgic, I went to this park with my grandparents a couple of times several years ago.
Very enjoyable blog Thank-you Tim Gaby and Casper
Casper was doing his best imitation of you, he tried to get you to mention the sign next to him but you didn’t notice it then he was testing the couch for kid-friendliness and it passed the test
Can’t wait to see the walk through the forest!
Stayed there for Christmas 2019 and was absolutely amazing. Great vid as always
With the exception of a three year stint in Hawaii, I've never lived without a dishwasher in my entire life. I'm pretty sure we even had one in the 1970s.
Really enjoyed this thanks. Looks a great place for a family break. Thanks 👍
Well Tim, youve done Elveden, Youve done Sherwood, now you really need to come to our neck of the woods, Longleat, bring your walkking boots, its a slog around that parc, great video again Tim, 👍
Thanks for a lovely video. We went to CP sherwood forest last year when the winter wonderland is on, its magical, Casper would love it
My son is similar age to Casper and one thing I'd like to capture is my son swimming. Great to see they allow cameras in their pool. Living in the Midlands this is the nearest centre parcs to us so will probably be giving this a go some point soon hopefully. Love the video. Thanks for all the hard work!
thank you
My favourite center parcs is longleat been going there with family for over 15 years love the peace and tranquility ❤❤
I love your little family so much. Gabby is really nice and Caspers so cute. These videos are so nice because I probably won't realistically ever go to center parcs but its interesting to see
I have to say the lodge price for the stay not bad at all, but then all extra's on top. Loved how Casper ran round exploring the rooms, our son when he was that age in caravans he was the same in and out all rooms opening and closing the doors. Kept him happy in evenings.
Great Vlog as always , love Center Parcs we normally visit a least once a year in Spring or Autumn. I have stayed at all of the uk Center Parcs over the years.
Can't beat it in Autumn
I just came back from Elveden Forest celebrating my 30th Birthday. My first time at a Center Parcs. I absolutely loved it tbh. Will definitely he goimg back next year!
Lovely to see you all together again for a break. Casper stealing the show of course as usual bless him!! So nice to share in your adventures with the family to places I have never been to. But I am lucky with the wildlife aspect as I have squirrels, owls and foxes etc in my back garden every day of the week!! No swimming pool though :-)) x J x
I have some really fond memories of Sherwood Forest Center Parcs as for my teenage years we came with our extended family in the run up to christmas. Christmas time at Sherwood Forest was magical, and some of my family still go with their children now. I will say its more cost effective to go as a group to split costs and bring most of your own food (and fire logs) as parc prices are high. I would love to go again sometime :)
Looksxa great place for families. ❤
winter time for us, we love the Woburn park with the santas little village is brilliant for our young child
Casper is such a smiling baby, Gabby is also very normal unlike some UA-cam partners
Who do you mean ?

She poured the curry on the plate before the rice!! That's criminal 😮
Longleat Forest is our favourite. We have been taking our kids there every year since 2008. We have been to Elveden, Sherwood and Woburn Forest, but Longleat is our favourite 😊
I'm in love with Casper, such a happy child ❤😊
Appreciate your videos. Always on topic and informative without unnecessary fluff. Oftentimes other creators' family trip vlogs can be a slog to get through because there are long segments of "family fun time" or what have you, without any info about the facilities, which is what I clicked on the video for. You do a great job with your videos, it's entertaining and informative from start to finish!
It was a very good travel day blog today chilling out and staying at center parcs sherwood forest for the holiday vibes tim and gaby / Casper aswell
A good video of I Return To Center Parcs - Our Experience!😎😎👍👍✔✔
Lovely video. Considering booking my next centreparcs trip soon, I just love the vibe of the place. Casper looks like such a happy kid!
Great watch thanks and really useful as staying there in January.
I have so many videos to catch up on, I love this channel!
I’ve been to Whinfell Forest a few times now in the winter. It’s a magical place to visit in the winter time and usually reasonably priced. Looking at the lodge you had at Sherwood, the Whinfell lodges are definitely nicer. Also I’ve always found the heating is on thermostat so it’s never cold and never had damp bedding due to temperature.
Really enjoyable video and a great showing for center parcs, it looked wonderful!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. Thank you!
Would recommend checking out Longleat Center Parcs on your next visit. One of the biggest and more adventurous with its hills, redwood trees and the land train - it definitely has the most unique feel. Though, plan timing of activities needs to be done well, as areas can be quite separated. The main plaza design is better with all the shops and restaurants, feeling like your under a forest canopy and the swimming pool is much larger, in and out. More likely to see deer here from the Longleat estate.
Elveden has a lot of the Muntjac’s and all the activities are central, so practical in that sense. Woburn is very small and compact, being the more recent design, good for locals wanting a short-visit. Mid-week visits I find are a happy medium between finding time to relax, as well as do some activities - weekend stays can feel a bit rushed. Arrive at 10am, park in car park, and maximise time in there (same for leaving day).
Some saving tips in future, go shopping in a local supermarket beforehand, saves on money. Have a list of kitchen items to take like washing-up liquid, kitchen roll etc., just keeps expense of using ParcMarket to minimum.
