Center Parcs Meerdal Limburg-Brabant

Sehr ruhig und mitten in der Natur

/

Sehr schöner Park! Das Cottage lag direkt am Wasser in der Natur. Sehr schön eingerichtet! Der See lud zum baden ein, es hat Shoppingmöglichkeiten und feine Restaurants. Es war auch alles super beschildert und gut organisiert. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Es war so heiss, das Cottage hat leider keine Klimaanlage und liess sich auch nicht gut lüften. Wir hatten tagsüber 33 Grad in der Hütte und nachts alle Fenster und Türen offen...die Temperatur ging leider nie unter 28 Grad. Wir schliefen gar nicht gut. Wenn es eine Klimaanlage hätte, wäre es ein perfekter Aufenthalt gewesen.. schade, dass wir während der Hitzewelle dort waren.

Ruhig , gute Ausstattung und ein See in der Nähe

Die Haus braucht Ventilatoren oder eine Klimaanlage. Es ist nur ein Fenster zu öffnen und schlecht isoliert. Bei der Hitze war es Nachts unerträglich warm.

Everything

Nothing

Wir hatten ein Deluxe-Cottage mit Whirlpool-Badewanne und Infrarotsauna. Die Ausstattung des Cottage war gut, modern und sauber. Der Parc ist ebenfalls gut ausgestattet und bietet viele Freizeitmöglichkeiten für die ganze Familie. Wir waren mit 2 weiteren Familien in drei unterschiedlichen Häusern untergebracht und es hat uns allen insgesamt gut gefallen.

Die Betten in unserem Cottage waren leider durchgelegen und waren daher für uns auch zu hart. Durch die Lage nah an der Straße war es tagsüber recht laut. Aufgrund der Jahreszeit mit niedrigen Nachttemperaturen war es durch die automatisch vorgegebene Nachtabsenkung in der Nacht recht kalt im Cottage.

Just home from a brilliant week at Het Meerdal over Christmas with 2 teens and a dog. We stayed in a VIP dog friendly lodge which was lovely, modern and warm. Aqua Mundo was great, better than we expected from what we’d read and plenty for the whole family to do at a much lower cost than the 2 UK Center Parcs we’ve been to. Also just a 10 min drive to a town with lots of shopping options which was good for us as we self catered while we were there. Only criticism would be that there aren’t any dog friendly cafes or restaurants indoors (it was -4 while we were there) which seems a missed opportunity for revenue from the many dog owners holidaying there and the lack of connectivity on the Smart TV was annoying as we couldn’t watch Christmas films. However, that did mean that we played more games and Amazon delivered more options - next day delivery to guest services which was an easy fix. Take a laptop or games console of you want to be able to steam to the TV, neither screen mirroring or a lightening to HDMI cable worked.

Das Deluxe Bungalow ist einfach nur herrlich und absolut Entspannung pur :)

Der weite Weg zum Parkplatz und das man beim Rauchen immer nass wird

Well priced and beautifully clean, well equipped accommodation. Scenery is absolutely beautiful when we went in autumn services, including bike hire was very affordable fairly price. Activities were well priced and well managed, easy to book. We would happily have just gone cycled around the beautiful park and swimming in the pool for days! Never going back to an overpriced UK Centre park again! Stopped off at Bruges on the way home to the UK for the day, which was an easy journey and a nice drive.

Binnenkant van het huisje, netjes. De basis was schoon, maar grote schoonmaak mag wel eens ge

Het is een prachtig park met een mooi zwembad erbij

Het huisje mocht wat beter gepoetst zijn en het bubbelbad waas heel smerig zodra de jets aangingen was het hele water vies

This was our first centre parcs experience and we were very impressed. We stayed as a family with young children during the last week of August. We stayed in the most basic accommodation ( I think it's called comfort) and we were happy with it. It felt pretty modern, well presented and had all the equipment you would need to cook for yourself if you wanted. The only thing we think could be explained better is the type of consumables you need to bring or buy for your stay. They give you a roll of toilet paper, 3 dishwasher tablets, a couple of cloths, a dishwasher sponge and a few small bin bags. Everything else you'll need to provide. This probably reflects or inexperience in self catered accommodation, but even something like a provided shopping list of what to bring would be an awesome touch. In regards to the towel and bed linen. For the comfort cottage they only provide duvets and pillows (the European style ones that are squarer - English pillow cases may not fit). My wife and I debated about bringing or hiring our own and in the end we decided to hire. Be prepared to spend about £90 for linen and towels for a family of four. For next time we would bring our own bath mat as well. The rest of the park is lovely. There's a good range of things to do, particularly for younger kids. We booked a pony ride for our older daughter and she loved it (probably the only thing that's worth booking in advance to avoid disappointment). The mini disco in the early evening was a hit. The aqua Mondo was great as well. Clean, well maintained and a good range of pools and slides. It was busy but didn't feel overcrowded. There's a good amount of life guards about. We didn't use the supermarket in the centre or try the restaurants so can't comment on that. There are a number of supermarkets all about 15 minutes away by car. Quite a few had the blue line parking system (you need what looks like a disabled parking card) so have a check of Google maps before you head out. Toverland down the road was great for a day trip as well - book in advance for a bit of a discount. Overall we had a lovely stay and would do centre parcs again.

This was our first time staying at a Center Parcs in Europe after having been to a couple in the UK. We were very impressed with the whole experience and would certainly return. Pros - cost of activities (so much cheaper than UK), access around park (very flat), range of activities (so many to choose from), bar and food options (varied and reasonably priced), size (not too big and easy to get around), all staff friendly and speak English, could get laundry done for about €7 washed, dried and delivered back to lodge. Good location to explore other places - we visited PSV Eindhoven and Efteling theme parks. Cons - some people don’t park their cars back in main car park which isn’t massive and the swimming pool not as big as other parks but good for younger children. Cars weren’t a huge issue though and we felt safe walking about the park. Overall we were very impressed and would either come back to Het Meerdal and certainly try other European center Parcs. It was a lovely experience and we made lots of happy memories with our family.

This is just my view on the Nonnas Pizza and Pasta Restaurant staff. We visited today as a table of 12 and were greeted by a lovely waiter. He was paitent with us when ordering food and catered too our requirements and needs. Our food arrived, however there was a mistake within our order, the food waitress was very rude and unhelpful and suggested we just fix the issue ourselves instead of offering to help. We then were told that we could only share 3 pizza cutters between 12 of us, she spoke to me and my family in a rude manner and for that i do not recommend this restaurant if you don’t want to be treated with carelessness and disrespect by certain members of staff.

Brilliant trip. We stayed as a family of 6 (children age 15, 13, 6 and 1) in a Premium Cottage. The lodge was well equipped and there was more than enough space for us all. The combi oven / microwave is easy to work - we used it everyday! There are lots of activities, ours enjoyed the High Ropes, Laser Quest, Pony Ride, Bowling & Bungee Trampolines. The zip line looked great but apparently it gets booked up very quickly. The teenagers enjoyed sunbathing on the loungers at the lodge and on the beach! We all enjoyed the swimming (our 6 year old especially). We ate at Everygreenz 3 evenings and thought the food was great, especially the deserts and cold salads. The children enjoyed that the pancakes were made in front of them. Lots of the tip advisor reviews seem mixed but we honestly had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to go back! 2 slight negatives; the lodges do get very warm in the hot weather though! I would avoid the arcades / game room if I went back as you have to purchase a game card & add credits to play - the minimum top up amount seemed expensive for very little return. We flew to Eindhoven Airport and hired a van. Hey Meerdal was a 50 minute drive. We did visit Toverland and Beekse Bergen as day trips and would recommend both.

We stayed for 7 nights at Het Meerdal, our first experience of the Center Parcs brand despite being from the UK. The cottage itself was overall “fine” but no more than a 3-star standard. On arrival the outside looked a little grubby and not particularly welcoming, though the décor inside was more modern. The beds were adequate but not especially comfortable, and it’s worth noting that all are singles – not zip-and-link – with bedding to match. Our outside area was unfortunately littered with rubbish and cigarette butts, which we later realised likely came from the housekeeping team, who smoked outside whilst cleaning the. Ext door cottage. The cottage also felt musty and, with no air conditioning, the temperature was hard to manage in the summer heat. The space felt quite dark, with a layout/configuration cottage to cottage that felt quite hemmed in and lacking in space. Around the park, the communal areas and facilities felt rather tired and the whole place seemed understaffed, which impacted the overall atmosphere. It would also be nice to see a General Manager presence in the common areas, along with a more active maintenance team for the grounds, which would really lift the overall experience. With our children aged 13 and 10, we struggled to find much that suited their age group, so we feel the park is probably best enjoyed by families with younger children (around ages 3–8). Aqua Mundo was a great hit, but it’s only really the rapids that are any good and there’s only so many times you can go around them! On the positive side, the wristband system for cottage access and activities was excellent, and hiring bikes was a highlight – we enjoyed a 20-mile ride through the beautiful surrounding countryside. We’d also recommend day trips to Irrland and Arcen, both within easy reach of the park. In summary, while there were some enjoyable aspects, Het Meerdal wasn’t the right fit for our family and isn’t somewhere we’d rush back to or recommend.

Vieles für kleine kinder

Ein sehr schöner Urlaub mit der Familie liegt hinter uns. Viele tolle Angebote für die Kids. Im allgemeinen ist es aber sehr sehr teuer hier. Unverschämte Preise zum Teil. Auch Check in und Check out ist nicht angemessen. Um vier das Haus beziehen, um zehn wieder auschecken. Das kenn ich woanders angenehmer. Bleibt man entspannt und hat genug Urlaubsgeld wirds ein unvergessener Urlaub.

Wir waren sehr zu frieden mit der Unterkunft und dem Park, allerdings gibt es von uns keine 5 Sterne, da wir der Meinung waren, dass die Preise vor Ort für Attraktionen und Essen sehr hoch waren

When we arrived at our lodge we noticed how spotlessly clean it was, very neat and tidy. All of the staff who we came into contact with were friendly and always helpful. The swimming pool was our highlight and we spent everyday in there, perfect for kids and adults alike! As much as we liked it here we probably wouldn’t return based on a few things … The “double” bed in our room was really just 2 flimsy single beds pushed together, which were very uncomfortable, also our bedding didn’t fit because of this. The restaurants are extortionate prices, and I do mean extortionate. We ended up eating in the lodge more than we would have liked to. Not only are they really really expensive but the quality isn’t even worth it. Our lodge was supposed to have 2 WC’s but only had one which wasn’t ideal with all of us. Not enough wildlife. We have been to other CP sites where we have seen wildlife outside the lodge daily, we didn’t have this here. It’s a lovely park with lovely staff but we wouldn’t visit again. We will try a different CP next time.

Very warm people working here. I felt very pampered. The activities were great: amazing recreational pool with artificial waves, river rapids. water play space and enormous slide. paddle boats where we could see chicks hatching in duck nests on the waterfront. Pony riding, zip line across a lake to be brought back by a boat, bungy trampoline with a pationate instructor who taught my daughter to make flips. Everything was beautiful and well maintained, they even have deers walking freely outdoors and the little farm was so beautiful and cute. The indoor tropical space was also very well designed with animals that are not in cages. Will definitely go again!

Had a great time here, the resort offered plenty for the whole family. It felt like a mid size resort compared to others we have visited in Belgium, for example not the biggest swimming pool but not small either, the lake also offers some fun activities which we tried. The footgolf course was also a lot of fun. The accommodation was plenty big enough, clean and provided everything we needed to knock up a few meals. Staff friendly, have always valued that they’re not over sensitive with rules around the pool in Belgium and the Netherlands and just let kids enjoy themselves, i.e can go down the slides how they like and not be shouted at, parents can go down with their kids…great range of food options in the supermarket to take back and cook. Despite having limited availability at the time of booking, the resort didn’t feel crowded. Some lovely towns nearby for those that like to venture out. All of us had a great holiday, thanks Center Parcs

Lovely Centre parcs, not huge but enough for a weekend. The pool was very busy on Sunday, and the restaurants were expensive. Staff are incredible, switching languages was amazing! I know English people can be lazy, so we did receive a few eye roles when saying , we were English and didn’t speak Dutch. Would go back again, really clean, the supermarket was really well stocked.

The park is clean, modern and welcoming. For a smaller center parks it far exceeded our expectations for the services provided. The cottage was perfect, well kept and clean. The aqua mundo was clean and welcoming with lots of activities on offer. We would highly recommend this park and wouldn’t hesitate to visit again. Great value and a memorable holiday. Thank you!

It is advertise as a firework free park but everybody is throwing them inside the park and there is not control at all. We came with the dog and paid a lot of money trying to go away from the explosives of the city and we had a horrible beginning of the year

Bon rapport qualité prix

Just returned from our trip and I wanted to say how much of a fab time we had. We hadn’t been to center parcs in years and took the risk going abroad because it was so much cheaper than the uk and omg it was amazing. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. It’s easily walkable no matter where you are in the parc. The activities were great. Esp the safari car! We did pony riding which was lovely and the high adventure which was great fun. They weren’t strict on times either so we probably got longer than expected but can’t complain about that. The swimming pool is amazing! You could be in there for hours. We literally lost track of time. We didn’t eat much there as it was expensive and we had a car so we took the trip to the nearest town Horst to the Lidl to do the shop (tip you need a parking permit for the car park there but go in the shop opposite and you’ll see the parking permit behind the counter, it was €1:75) we did a few day trips out including toverland down the road, is expensive but it’s a full day out. Our 5&3yr old could go on lots - if you’ve got younger kids and need a pram you can hire one which we wished we’d done sooner as it’s a lot of walking at toverland. We did a few outside pools including a trip to roermand and onto family pool de bosberg up the road. We flew to Eindhoven and hired a car which took 40 mins to the park. Once out of the city the roads are so easy to navigate. Oh and if you’re going in summer bring mosquito repellent!!! All in all we can’t wait to come back or give center parcs abroad another go! *also a lot of places sometimes don’t take cash so don’t bring all your money in one form!

Driving- From the SW of the UK and drove to Le shuttle and drove to Het Meerdal in a one go! It’s easy but exhausting- look at Antwerp traffic if it is Red go the other way! Ended up being 11 hours! Driving over here is easy as flat. Food- Go to Jumbo supermarket (Severnum) in our opinion it is better than Aldi or Lidl. For meats, cheeses and anything Dutch, including better alcohol choices. In Centre parks it is pricey to eat out, we did it twice. Fuego- was a nice experience meals around €30 each and dessert €10 each. We spent most of our time in the Cafe for drinks and nibbles. Shops- Kudos to Centre parks. The main food shop is fab, we went in there daily. You can book a breakfast package and BBQ package but we bought from Jumbo. They have a fresh OJ machine, sausage rolls and Dutch bread,eggs etc. Alcohol section is also okay- note Prosecco lovers, not many around. The toys/gift shop is nice, a little pricey. The clothes shop!!! 50% sale!!! Lovely clothes for all, worth a visit. Market day along the beach is on a Thursday- it was okay; very pricey! Laundry service- a god send! 4kg for €7 worth it! Only on certain days. Ours got picked up and dropped off within hours!! Pop to reception and ask them. Activities- book in advance for pony walk! Like weeks in advance! We didn’t manage to do it. We didn’t do half as much a we should have. You can book on line or by reception there is a machine. All activities are great and they speak English too. Some is bitty, but it is better than my Dutch. We did: Feed the animals and Yoga with the animals. Aqua mundo (daily) it’s fab. The rapids and slide are whizzy! Aqua park (outside inflatable) super fun and exhausting! High ropes- children Bowling Archery Laser battle Mini golf Arcades Quiz night- hilarious as very little English spoken. Forest walks Bird of prey show- it’s amazing very little English spoken. Swan boats- don’t do it unless you want to be bitten!! Outside- Helmond Castle and art gallery for €10 each the castle is interactive with costumes and activities. The art gallery is immersive. Eindhoven zoo- fantastic place to go. We didn’t manage to go to Efteling but it is only 1 hr 20 mins away. Go it’s fantastic, been before. And for €51 each cheaper than UK parks. Accommodation- we stayed in 110. 4 bedrooms: 2 single rooms and 2 doubles. Cot and high hair. Toilet and a bathroom (shower) with a loo. Living space big, but Kitchen is compact and awkward- you get used to it. Dinning table. One thing I will say if you are under 5 ft you will struggle with cooking things in the oven! Garden is a disappointment and full of mole hills! At least that’s what we think the are. We couldn’t use it. The patio with table chairs was nice to sit on. The apartment has an airer, hairdryer and most things to clean apartment with. Oh and a fire place- came on a heat wave! Thinks to bring: Mosquito stuff!!!!! Toilet roll Aircon- they do not do aircon! We brought a fan… the only thing that stopped me sleeping in the car with 34 degrees! Stuff to black out the windows- the Dutch do this. Dishwasher tablets- you get some in a welcome pack. Appliances are good: Toaster Coffee machine Kettle Tassimo machine Car parking- I’m told it is better than the UK We are in zone 1 close to everything. We have parking nearby 1 min walk. However, they go pretty quickly and can find yourself parking a few mins away. Everything is done on green bands, entering the premises and accommodation. We have had the best week. Highly recommend.

The house we stayed in was very disappointing. It had not been properly cleaned and there were damp marks in several places in the house. After a few days our kids started getting lots of red bumps (not mosquito bites). In their room it smelled very damp and both their bedding and clothes were almost wet with moisture. After talking to our doctor, we found out that they had either been bitten by fleas or bedbugs.

It is in a wonderful location, We felt very close to nature. Beautiful woodland setting. It was a calm and relaxing site. We will return.

I like the place

I did not like that its not air conditioned, not clean, too much insects and spiders made us leave the facility from day 1 and the person in charge did not solve our problem not refund the money for the next 4 nights!! Its way below my expectations!

I booked the deluxe cottage and it was really lovely. Very clean and comfortable. The infra red sauna and jacuzzi bath were a bonus, as was the fresh bread delivered daily as part of the deal. Plenty to keep the kids busy and we had a great time. The only negative aspect was the very low quality and overpriced food offered at the restaurants, and that at the restaurants they don’t provide tap water, not even for kids!

Die Anlage ist super! Alles erneuert, sauber und tolle Möglichkeiten für Aktivitäten.

Das Haus war dreckig und feucht. Es roch muffig. Die "sauberen" Handtücher hatten Flecken, an den Gartenmöbeln waren Spinnweben, es waren Haare auf dem Badezimmerboden, die Lüftung in der Toilette hat nicht funktioniert usw. Und die Preise waren übertrieben hoch. Fish & Chips für 17,50€? Das war das letzte Mal.

A área de lazer é muito bonita e oferece muitas atividades, tem restaurante para todos os gostos e o mercado é bem completo, porém nos sentimos muito mal dentro do chalé devido à falta de limpeza.
