500 mile drive across Europe to Belgian Center Parcs saved family £600 over UK

A woman saved more than £600 by taking her family on a half-term trip to Center Parcs in Europe instead of the UK. Rebecca Kellett, 36, travelled with her family to De Vossemeren in Belgium and still saved £635 including travel costs.

The travel blogger and company director drove to Belgium - via the Eurotunnel - with her partner JP, 42, and his two kids where they enjoyed their half-term holiday. Rebecca paid £445 for a week at Center Parcs in De Vossemeren and claims that the same week at Center Parcs Sherwood Forest in Nottingham was £1699 - almost four times higher.

Including the costs of petrol and the Eurotunnel, £150 and £220 respectively, as well as £249 for three hotel nights to break up the journey, Rebecca claims the family still saved £635. Rebecca also praised the reduced prices of activities where she said the aerial adventure in the Sherwood Center Parcs was £49 and £19 in Belgium.
