Center Parcs Erperheide

“Excellent park, paticularly if you have young children”

This was our first time at a Center Parcs in continental Europe and after some research we found Erperheide highly recommended for young kids. Lived up to that reputation.

This was our first time at a Center Parcs in continental Europe and after some research we found Erperheide highly recommended for young kids. Lived up to that reputation. Cottage was well equipped and clean and even in zone 7 (as far from the Central dome as possible I think) it was only a lovely 10 minute walk to everything (plus there was a good playground right next door). Pool was huge and impressive and we did loads of activities, which we found to be reasonably priced. Everyone (including childrens entertainers) were happy to flip into English with us/our kids. Only regret is we didn't get a chance to explore the local area as there was too much to do in the park. One thing missing maybe was a nice barista coffee place/kiosk - think it would be a great addition. But perfect otherwise; would recommend and return

“Great Family Holiday”

This was our Second stay at Erperheide but this time we stayed in a VIP cottage. Last time we stayed we visited in May in glorious sunshine so it was nice to see the site in the Autumn. I do love the way Centre parks changes with the seasons. We paid around £740 for our stay from Friday to Monday at the end of October half-term - Half of what the UK Centre Parcs costs for the same amount of time. The Cottage we stayed in was Clean and Modern and came with a Sauna and Bubble bath (which my son loved). The cottage came with two good size bedrooms - the only issue i could foresee for a family with 2 kids would be the second bedroom beds can’t be separated like they can in other cottage's we’ve stayed in. No problem for us though as our son got a massive bed all to himself :D The cottage was quiet and private. It’s just the sounds of nature and the occasional Chicken wandering around !! You get Wristbands that act as your door key , swimming pass and locker key plus use it to book all your activities. We love this system and find it works really well. During our stay we used the Aqua Mundo everyday !! We really love the way centre parcs operate their pools. The facilities are so clean and well managed !! You can swim from 10am - 9pm. If you wanted to you could swim all day or multiple times a day. The pools do get busy but you can find quieter times throughout the day. We didn’t do many activities this time around but did book bowling and table tennis. The screens to book are dotted around the site and really easy to use. If you do struggle with modern tech you can also go the reception and their more than happy to help. We ate in the Grand Cafe a few times during our stay. It is one of our favourite things about Centre Parcs EU. The Staff are super friendly and Helpful. The ones we encountered could slip quite easily between multiple languages which is super impressive and helped us a-lot when ordering. Really quick service too - didn’t take long to get drinks and food even at their busier times. The food is on the more expensive side but it’s all really tasty and of high quality. You can 100% do this holiday cheaply if you buy your shopping before you go or from one of the surrounding supermarkets. We’ve done this multiple times and it does keep the cost down so you can spend on the activities. Overall we had an amazing Holiday - which was no surprise because we always do at CentreParcs !!

“A jam packed amazing time”

We’ve just stayed for 10 nights with our two kids who are 4&6 and everyone had an amazing time. We’ve stayed at het meerdal in the Netherlands but we felt here had a lot more offering for the kids.

We’ve just stayed for 10 nights with our two kids who are 4&6 and everyone had an amazing time. We’ve stayed at het meerdal in the Netherlands but we felt here had a lot more offering for the kids. There’s a huge inside play area with several soft play areas and activities, great if the weather isn’t always the best. The pool was amazing as always, slides, rapids, splash park area, a pool with fish that you can swim underwater and see through the glass. The restaurants on site are expensive except for the frites fast food place which is more reasonable but that’s to be expected at Center Parcs. We just went to jumbo in Bree about 15 mins away which is a nice supermarket. The Bruno petrol station which is walkable from Center Parcs does amazing fresh pizza and sandwiches. The activities we did were face painting (did an amazing job but is only on a Tues and they also got a free toy too) trampolining, pony rides. The kids did cupcake making in the kids club which was really reasonably priced. The kids club has role play areas that the kids can play with after they’ve finished their activity and the mums and dads are welcome to coffee and tea. We also did tiara making there too. Days out we went to an outdoor swimming pool called Wilhelm Tell Zwembad which was amazing! But be warned you’re not allowed to wear swimwear with sleeves. We went to toverland theme park about an hour away. It’s fab and always really quiet later on in the year, you could literally sit on the ride to go again. There’s not much to do in peer which your able to cycle to, we cycled to bree as well and had amazing ice cream at omas lj’s. I’d definitely go back. I do think the cottages and site is maybe older than other center parcs but it catered for everything we needed.
