HOLIDAY resort Center Parcs is one of the country's most parent-friendly breaks, according to a national baby charity.

Center Parcs, set in Longleat Forest, which has three other resorts across the country, clinched the award from charity Tommy's Campaign

The accolade has been running for 12 years and rewards companies for taking parents' needs into consideration.

Simon Kay, Center Parcs sales and marketing director, said: "We are thrilled to have been acknowledged by Tommy's as the most parent-friendly holiday company in the UK.

"We recognise that taking a baby or toddler on a short break can be quite daunting and therefore we are committed to providing facilities and parent-friendly service that ensures parents, toddlers and babies alike can all have a relaxing hassle-free break."

Tommy's Campaign is a charity to raise money to fund research into the causes of premature birth, miscarriage and stillbirth.

Center Parcs collected the accolade in London on March 31.
