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.

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...

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
