What’s Included in a Center Parcs Lodge?
Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. If you book or buy through them I may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. Read our full disclosure.
I started this list in 2021 and have updated it on every visit since — most recently in March 2026, having now visited Center Parcs more than ten times across multiple villages and lodge types.
Everything below is based on a standard Woodland Lodge. Higher-tier lodges such as Forest Lodges, Grand Forest Lodges, and Exclusive Lodges may include additional features.
Kitchen & Dining
- 3 Dishwasher Tablets
- Tea Towel
- Washing-Up Liquid Sachet
- Dishcloth
- 2 Plastic Bin Liners
- Large, Medium & Small Saucepan
- Frying Pan
- Large Spoon
- Potato Masher
- Tin Opener
- Bottle Opener
- Corkscrew
- 3 Chef’s Knives
- Spatula
- Cutlery
- Large & Small Plates
- Bowls
- Plastic Cups
- Glass Tumblers
- Coffee Mugs
- Espresso & Tea Cups
- Wine & Champagne Glasses
- Egg Cups

- Colander
- 2 Pyrex Dishes
- BBQ Tools
- High Chair
- Dining Table & Chairs
Bedrooms
- Hairdryer (in each bedroom)
- Bedding (2 pillows per person)
- Cot
- Bed Rails (available on request)
- Safe
- TV (one in each bedroom)
The TVs in standard Woodland Lodge bedrooms are basic flat-screen models with no smart TV capabilities and no Netflix. However, each TV has an HDMI and USB port — so if streaming is important to you, bring a Firestick, Now TV box, or Chromecast.
The higher-tier lodges such as Woodland Premium Lodges include Smart TVs.
Bathrooms
- Towels (one bath towel and one hand towel per person)
- Bathmat
- Footstool
- Shaver Plug
- Travel Bodywash & Shampoo — once used, these are not replenished
Your towels are provided for use inside the lodge only. If you plan to visit the Subtropical Swimming Paradise, you’ll need to bring separate towels. Towels are not changed during your stay.
Living Space
- TV
- Log Burner
- Sofa
Free WiFi is available throughout your lodge and across the entire Center Parcs village. In my experience the connection is reliable enough for streaming.
Outside
- Furnished Patio
- Brick-built BBQ
- Bike rack
The above applies to lodges only — outside facilities differ for apartments and hotel rooms.
Outside each lodge you’ll find a bike rack. Center Parcs bike hire includes a padlock, but if you’re bringing your own bike you’ll need to bring your own.
What’s Not Included at Center Parcs
Here are some key items that are not included in a Center Parcs lodge:
- Washing machine or tumble dryer: There are no laundry facilities in any lodge or on site. If you need to wash clothes during your stay, you’ll need to do so in the bath or sink.
- Board games: No lodges include board games. Exclusive Lodges include a games room with a pool table, though availability varies by village so check before booking.
- Daily housekeeping: Center Parcs does not offer a housekeeping service and towels are not changed during your stay.
- Additional toilet roll: Each toilet comes with two toilet rolls. Once used, replenish from the Parc Market onsite or bring your own.
- Additional toiletries: The travel bodywash and shampoo provided are not replenished once used.

Do you need to pay for the electricity that you use in an executive lodge?
No, gas, electricity and water is included in the price of the lodge.
Do the childrens bikes come with stabilisers please?
Hi, yes they can do 🙂
Great advice thanks
Thanks for your information. It’s extremely helpful. I’ll be packing extra toilet rolls and bring my towels for the pool.
You’re little “to bring and to do” list is excellent. Thank you
