Center Parcs Park Bostalsee

“Great week at the beautiful Bostalsee”

We had a great week at Centerparcs again. The weather was great and we could spend a lot of time at the lake and on the lake: pedal boat, SUP and bike around the lake.

We had a great week at Centerparcs again. The weather was great and we could spend a lot of time at the lake and on the lake: pedal boat, SUP and bike around the lake. The kids loved going to the water park every day, Game Center, Bowling, the playgrounds, Safari cars and the outdoor trampoline. Our house was near the forest which was nice for a walk with the dog and there was a nice playground but a bit far from the main area. Luckily we brought our bikes so it was easy to get around. We will be back for sure!

My family and I have just returned from a week’s stay at Centerparcs Bostalsee and it was truly fantastic! As with any Centerparcs, you have an expectation of what your experience will be like but Bostalsee elevated this to a new level. The park itself is well laid out with the central hub and main activities taking place in the Market Dome, right next to the stunning Lake Bostalsee. We opted for a premium “lodge” (in reality a 2 bedroom semi detached house!) and it was well equipped with kitchenware and furniture with superb views of the lake. Having separate car parks for the accommodation zones is a welcome relief. This means it’s only a 5 minute walk to your car if you need it rather than 30+ minutes at some U.K. based Centerparcs. Be wary that the site is built on a hill, meaning some lodges have great views but are a lung-busting walk up 100+ steps, or a steep road. If you have young children in prams/pushchairs, opt for “Zone 4” or “Zone 1” accommodation, which are both close to the central hub. Even in February, there are plenty of activities open, my children’s favourites being the electric cars and mini golf. The market bistro offers food throughout the day and isn’t obscenely priced like UK Centerparcs offerings. The on-site Markt stocks the essentials, but there are supermarkets close by (10 minute drive) which are significantly cheaper with a wider range of products. While not being confident in speaking German, all staff we dealt with had an exceptional level of English. 10/10! All in all, we had a brilliant 7 night stay, and the cost (including ferry from the U.K. and fuel for driving a less than economical Volvo) was nearly £1000 less, (yes £1000!) of a 4 night stay at Sherwood Forest Centerparcs during half term week. We will definitely be returning!

This was my first Center Parcs experience and I was certainly impressed with the setup and scale of the of the Park. Despite the vast accommodation on site, the park never felt overly busy. We had an 8 person lodge, although two of our travellers couldn't come from Ireland, so there were just the five of us. We didn't get refunded for the towel packages not used. The cottage had a great view but there were quite a few steps to traverse to get there - cycling back up the hill was even worse! There was lots to do on site to keep the kids busy - cycling (hired bikes), the aqua park, swimming in the lake, the treetop climb. The food on site was just okay and choice was limited. There happened to a be a food festival happening just around the shore of the lake on the Saturday night with live music which was a nice change. As a family park, it was very quiet after 9pm and no nightlife. We did a couple of day visits - the Treetop Walk Saarschleife was worth the visit and the Celtic hill fort of Otzenhausen was fine. We flew into Frankfurt airport and hired a car, with a stay in Heidelberg after. Luxembourg airport is probably closer and would be a cheaper travel option from Dublin.

“Disappointing holiday”

My husband and I with our daughters aged 8 yrs and 17 months old. This centre parcs has no air-conditioning anywhere. It was over 35 degrees. This park does not facilitate for babys in buggies. Our lodge was on top of a hill and the only way down was steep flights of stairs or rough steeped paths.… lisää

My husband and I with our daughters aged 8 yrs and 17 months old. This centre parcs has no air-conditioning anywhere. It was over 35 degrees. This park does not facilitate for babys in buggies. Our lodge was on top of a hill and the only way down was steep flights of stairs or rough steeped paths...totally not for baby buggies. The website did not advise about this when we were booking. Most activities were mainly after 2pm. The website didn't really work for booking activities. We will definitely not be returning.
