Center Parcs Erperheide

Convenient location near amenities and shops, with easy car access. Excellent service in multiple languages via WhatsApp. Great facilities including pools, play areas, and varied on-site activities.

We've been to a few CPs in Europe over the years, and this one was ok, but not the best. Positives: *Aqua Mundo is clean and good fun. This is a small one compared to others though, with only a couple of slides, a Crazy River and some smaller pools. *Good range of activities around the site - the animal area was lovely (but give 'treasure river' a miss, it's about 5 seconds of fun for €5). *Soft play is actually really good - different zones and lots of space, so although it was busy, it didn't feel overcrowded. *Due to its small size, it's an easy CP to get around on foot. *Staff were friendly and helpful. Negatives: *The accommodation is pretty dirty, considering how much it cost. Although most surfaces were clean, the floor was filthy, and there was no mop provided to clean it with. There was lots of dirt and dust under chairs, radiators and beds etc, and it could really have done with a deep clean. *Limited provisions - in this case, no bedding or towels (apparently, it's common in some European CPs to have to bring your own bedding or rent it which is fine if you know this - but it's €75 for the week if you dont). There's also no bath mat, which is such a petty but annoying point. Also, when you rent the bedding and towels you forgot to bring, it's all wrapped in individual plastic bags, so not very environmentally friendly! *Showers are slow to drain and blooming lethal - bring an anti slip mat if you have kids. *Food onsite is poor quality and very overpriced. *Shop is similarly overpriced (and overpriced compared to other European CPs we've visited) - €8 for a bottle of conditioner!
