🟢 October half-term abroad: 5-night Center Parcs family break 🟢

October half-term is notoriously brutal on the family wallet. Prepare to shell out an eye-watering £1,500–£1,600 for a standard 4-night UK Center Parcs break. 😬 Or, pick the Netherlands instead! We’ve spotted an absolute steal: 5 nights for a family of four at Center Parcs De Eemhof from just £1,043 total (for a family of four) during the school holidays -- that's around £261 per person for the whole stay. 🔥

This highly rated, family-friendly park sits right on the edge of a stunning lake.

How to get there?

Via Eurotunnel or Calais Ferries: The Crossing: Folkestone to Calais (Le Shuttle - 35 mins) or Dover to Calais/Dunkirk (Ferry - 1.5 to 2 hours). The onward drive: Roughly 4.5 to 5 hours (approx. 220–240 miles) once you hit French soil.

Harwich to Hook of Holland (Stena Line - approx. 6.5 hours). The onwward drive: 1.5 to 2 hours (approx. 97 miles) once you arrive in the Netherlands.

Good to know:

October half-term in the Netherlands is beautiful but can be crisp and damp. Pack plenty of layers, waterproof coats, and wellies. Since the park is car-free, most families rent bicycles on-site to get around. If you have your own bike rack, bringing your own family bikes will save you a decent chunk

Additional Information

We might be pirates, but we’re an honest bunch. We check all our deals when we review them to make sure everything is available. However, with deals this hot, things change quickly—flight prices fluctuate, hotel rooms sell out, currencies yo-yo. And just so you know, local taxes might still apply – even treasure has its fine print. But mainly, demand for the best deals means the lowest prices don’t last long. If you’ve missed out this time, don’t worry, we’re working on more great offers.
