Lots of people think it’s expensive
With good reason, as it is. Far better value holidays out there.
Enlighten us…
Last 2 years we have gone to Duinrell in Holland, full 7 days in a large lodge (glorified static caravan) for same price as 4 days at Centrparcs in UK, and that’s including overnight ferry from hull (making it 8 nights away) and ferry back from Calais (with a day stop on way back in Bruges or Antwerp)
Has on site theme park ideal for kids from about 3-15, swimming pools with loads of slides etc and all the Centrparcs type activities, in a forest near a lovely beach, nice town outside the gates for supermarkets and cheaper food/pubs and within easy distance via train/bus/car of Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Leiden for days out
Plenty other similar parks in Europe all better value than UK Centrparcs
We have also used the tokens in local paper to go to UK Haven sites for 4 night breaks, £10pp then all the extras push it to about £100 for 4/5 people, if you just want to explore an area and have a basic base with swimming pool and some entertainments on tap it’s great value, whenever we go to Centrparcs we don’t really use anything there other than the pool anyway so makes no difference to us
Having said that we are off to Centreparcs next week for £350, so it’s not always that expensive
