Centre Parcs Holland - anyone done it?

[Mrs TP]

I know we've discussed Centre Parcs UK several times on the Forum and we've been to Longleat a good few times but just thinking about Holland - has anyone done CP there? Any tips / recommendations?

I just booked a long weekend at one of the Landal parks in the Netherlands, which are supposed to be similar but a bit cheaper than Centre Parcs. We booked Het Vennenbos I think it is called. We're taking the Eurostar to Brussels and then it is 1 hr 20 mins drive from there.

Oh thank you, let me know how it goes. The only tip I have received elsewhere on holidays in Holland is to take mosquito repellent if you are near a lake!

Yes, we went to Het Heijerbos (or something like that!) about 5 years ago. The swimming pool was fab and we spent a lot of time in there! There was also an indoor jungle thing and bowling that we did. And I think indoor tennis or badminton? We took our bikes and rode around a lot, but it was very chilly, so we couldn't get the children to play in the outside play areas for very long!

The cottages were like Hitlers bunker from the outside, but quite modern and clean inside and reasonably well-equipped. The restaurant that we tried was a typical child-friendly place...
