Holiday for a family with 6 kids under 10?

Hi,

We're looking for a holiday to take the kids on during the summer holidays. They're aged 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9.

We'd like to go somewhere with lots to keep the kids entertained - swimming, soft play, a beach would be great.

Last year we went to Centre Parcs in France which was brilliant but quite expensive - though it was cheaper the ones in England.

Would definitely like somewhere cheaper this year.

Anyone have any suggestions..?

Many thanks

Pete

    If you like Center Parcs look at Duinrell in Holland - excellent theme park and water park on site and included, evening entertainment, and reasonable prices, we went late August and was around EUR850 for a week IIRC. Beach short drive/cycle away (IIRC about 4km or so).

    Eurocamp or venue at croix du vieux pont, might be a option.

    Also look at other parks offered by them.
    Other companies too, .vacansoleil. Thomson alfresco.

    There's others especially a Dutch one but can't think of the name.

    Eurocamp also have accommodation in Durinell

    I think the Dutch one maybe Roan?

    One thing about booking with a Dutch company is that there kids go back to school earlier than England so you can get some good prices at the end of the English school hols

    :question: might be, the colour scheme seems familiar.
    I had a nose when we was on holiday one year.
    Although I can't see a site we've stayed at in their list.

    But things including sites may have changed as its been a few years since we did this type of holiday. We did them for cheaper holidays but kids now grown up.

    If I had 6 kids under 10 then I think I would want a nice quiet holiday away from them :)

    If you are offering to babysit that'd be great - thanks!
