Center Parcs Le Lac d'Ailette is approx. 2hrs from euro tunnel when using the toll road so a good commute from the UK. The scenery is beautiful, it is situated overlooking a lake with lots of forest views. We did pop to Laon which is 10mins away, Reims which is 45mins away and Paris which was 2hrs. The resort is most definitely in need of some refurbishment as it’s looking very tired inclusive of the accommodation, the grounds aren’t particularly well kept either. On arrival, there was a overgrown tree blocking access to our property, the sink wouldn’t drain and the toilet door handle was hanging off, all of which were addressed very quickly once flagging with the team there but why the staff their hadn’t addressed this following routine cleaning is beyond me. The cleaning capability is poor so do take your own cleaning products so you can whizz round on arrival. The bedding was all clean. The shop is sufficient but expensive and we totally overlooked bringing our own salt, pepper, sauces, and teabags. If you plan to cook whilst there I would encourage you to bring your own food. There are lots of picky bits but no over in your accommodation, there is a microwave and a hob. There are restaurants and the food in them is average but the prices are quite high so everything is c.18 euros and there isn’t lots of variety at some of them so you may want to bring your own meals. There is no BBQ facility at the property so this is a further €30. There are activities to do whilst there, definitely appeal to the below age 6 population more so than older children and the team are incredibly flexible with letting you love them and refunding the money to your bracelet and you can then use in the shop, restaurant or on more activities. The swimming pool needs attention, there is mould in some areas, leaves everywhere and paint had peeled away meaning it’s visibility tired and in need of a refurb which is hard to look past when you’re on holiday. Despite that there are a number of slides, rapids and a lazy river so good fun if you look beyond it. Overall, we had a nice week and very much used as a base to visit other areas. If you have it booked I think you will have a lovely time as it’s in a quaint part of the country, however, we won’t be visiting again unless it’s refurbished.
