Construction on £9.1m lodge scheme for Center Parcs Woburn Forest begins
Stepnell is building a mix of two, three and four-bedroom lodges on a sloped forest clearing to the north of the development, west of the Village Square.
Designed by Jackson Design Associates, the lodges will be constructed from timber and stone cladding, in keeping with the character of the village’s surrounding 643 lodges, which opened in 2014.

John Neill project manager for Stepnell, said: “We are delighted to be working with Center Parcs for the first time on this exciting and ambitious guest accommodation project which will be carried out in a ‘live environment’ with the short-break village, roads and footpaths remaining open throughout the construction.
“Over the next 48 weeks, we will be liaising closely with Center Parcs to continue to deliver an excellent experience for guests.”
Nestled in 365 acres of natural forest, Center Parcs Woburn Forest is one of five UK villages and is just an hour away from London.
