Center Parcs Vossemeren

We had a lovely stay here. We had a 2 bed premium cottage 469 which was nice and close to the Aqua Mundo and indoor discovery cove. It was easy to book the activities using our activity vouchers and we played both badminton and bowling using them. We also booked the indoor laser tag which was great as it took place in the discovery cove ‘after hours’ which my kids thought was great. The site itself is near to big supermarkets for self catering.

Lovely flat site, perfect for cycling. It is very like most other centre parcs in lay out and cabins. We stayed in a dog friendly cabin but was pleased I had left my dog at home. He is a food orientated fiend and we would have struggled to store food out of his reach with the kitchen having very little places to store food out of his reach. As there was only shelves and no cupboards, as all plates etc were stored in cupboard. We had a golf buggy whilst there and it was great fun. Kids tried water skiing there and loved it. They enjoyed the water park as well as the pool. Excellent for active families. But it can be a bit pricy to do lots of activities. . The weather was around 20-23 degrees and not sticky. We had a little bit of rain (not lots) one bad lightening storm which knocked the WiFi out for a few hours. The location is excellent and venturing to nearby towns and restaurants we had some of the best meals we have had in a long time. Also went into Germany to see a football match as it was not far. The staff were friendly and helpful, nearly all of them speak English extremely well.

We decided to go to this Centreparcs resort this May half term (as did many other UK residents judging by the cars in the car park!) as the cost of the 7 days plus Eurotunnel was nearly half of what any UK Centreparcs was charging for 5 days. Having gone to De Haan last year, we chose this one this year as the resort looked lovely and the list of activities seemed endless. First off, it's a long way to go (we're in Bedfordshire), and the drive from Calais to the park took over 4 hours thanks to the legendary and much-warned-about traffic bottleneck south and east of Antwerp. We sat there for around 40 mins going nowhere so the first tip is to avoid Antwerp and find another route - it may be longer but at least you'll be moving. We broke up our trip home by stopping in Gent for a couple of hours. Anyway, the resort itself is pretty big and sits right on the Dutch/Belgian border, just over the bridge from Lommel which is a lovely town to visit on your bike and is also ideal for day trips to places like Eindhoven (about 35 mins away and there's an easy to use park and ride in operation, even I managed to work it out) and other smaller towns. Amsterdam is 1hr 45 mins away, which was too far for us to do a day trip, but might not be for those with older kids who might appreciate the city more than younger ones. The theme park, Efteling, is only an hour away and is also well worth a day trip. We got into our accommodation after the long trip and immediately realised we'd have to do a bit of cleaning ourselves. The second our shoes were off, we could feel bits of grit and general dirt on the floor. A quick sweep with the broom we found in the service cupboard revealed an alarming amount of dirt etc. If the place had been hoovered and cleaned, it had been done in record time. This prompted a closer inspection and basically anything above eye height (6ft-ish) had been neglected, with dust on surfaces and cobwebs in too many places to mention. We also had a bit of an ant problem, so no food was left out or uncovered for long and that helped keep them away. While the combi-oven in the kitchen is fine and fairly easy to figure out, it sits at around 6 feet up the kitchen unit, which was fine for me (over 6 foot tall) but no good for my wife (or anyone around 5ft 5in or less) as taking hot trays etc out can be a dangerous activity. It's also a challenge if you want to make different meals at the same time as there's not much space in there. On the subject of the kitchen, I recommend taking some of your own stuff like a cheese grater (theirs is very lightweight), sharp knives, oven gloves, cereal bowls (their bowls are basically flat plates) a big mug or two if you like tea/coffee (again theirs are on the small side). Also, we took a bathroom mat with us, which turned out to be a good decision as there isn't one in the lodge and the floor could get very slippery. Also, take your own pillows as the ones provided aren't the most comfortable. Disappointing

The Parc itself is amazing, especially for kids. There is a subtropic swimming pool, plenty of playgrounds, indoor and outdoors. The accommodation was basic. Although it was called comfort, we were slightly disappointed with our accomodation. The couch was small and hard, not very comfortable. Also the matrasses were very hard. The kitchen was small but fine . There was no bathtub and no bath towels in the bathroom. Maybe you had to pay extra for it at reservation. In that case the park was a little overpriced

As a group of two couples and a three years old child we stayed at Center Parks de Vossemeren for four nights during April 2024. We had a VIP room which was clean and very nicely decorated. It had two bedrooms, a big bath containing a bathtub and sauna, a furnished kitchen and on top of all, a wonderfull view of a big lake. The view was awesome. Couldnt get any better. We also had a BBQ and some furniture outside. The only negative point about the room was its tiny toilet. There is enough space at least for two toilets but there is one small toilet with just cold water. The pools and aquapark were very nice. It was a great opportunity that we could use these amneties during our stay. There are two slides (one very big) in the pools that despite a long line, worth to try. The pool bar was expensive and low quality and the staff were not very friendly. Dont recomend. There are lots of other playgrounds and activity options in the resort. Specially for kids. We hired bikes for a day and that was fun. We could visit plenty of beautiful places in the park. So lovely. There are lots of restaurants in the property and a supermarket. They are OK but more expensive than outside. The service in the restaurants needs to get better. In conclusion we had a great time there and we will consider this resort for our next short time peeks.

We had a very nice family holiday here between Christmas and New Year. We took a Premium 6-person chalet, which was spatious, clean, and modern. The setting around the lake was also very pleasant. In the park, the main activity we participated in was the pool. It was a little crowded, and there is not really provision for actual swimming, but the kids loved the several water slides. They also enjoyed the large ondoor playground. We joined a few of the free ranger activities (local tours, cooking in the wild, bushcraft). These were excellent with friendly, well-informed guides. On the downside, most of the other activities were for an additional fee and rather expensive. The restaurants were overpriced and mediocre quality, and the on-site shop was also rather pricy. There are several restaurants in the local town which were cheaper and better so I would suggest you try these instead. Overall I would recommend this place for a short stay.

Although it is nice to have the park car free, i found it striking that the employee at the Park entry, either lacked empathy or doesnt understand that walking from the entry of the park to most of the cottages with two sleeping little children is really far. If customer friendliness is not a selection criteria for this job, why have a human there in the first place. It would be cheaper to have entrance to the park fully automated....other option is to add extra parkings at far end of the park, or give electric cars for free...

We have just returned from a week at the parc. We have done uk CP before but never in Europe. We are total converts. We were lucky with very quiet parc as most schools not yet on holiday. The pool area has great rapids and four fun slides. Clean and plentiful showers and lockers. Only upgrade would be heated floors in changing rooms! We loved the free nature activities - cooking and bush skills. We did badminton, mini golf and climbing. The farm activities were great - our girls loved donkey care, meet the alpacas and the small creatures. Animals looked well cared for and lovely staff. It was very muddy though! So take wellies! It's not a big parc but in very wet weather we were grateful for having booked a golf cart for getting back quickly after evening swim. The free discovery cove was amazing - an incredible area for kids and free to use! We only ate out on the last night - frites affair. It was ok but pricey for essentially MacDonald's. We stayed in a VIP villa. The daily bread delivery was exciting and we took a slow cooker with us which we used for soup at lunchtime and meals on evening. We loved the sauna for drying swimming stuff! Shop on site well stocked but expensive. Go to PLUS supermarket just over the border in Netherlands. Well priced and great products. Their soup and meal kits were perfect!
