Summary created out of 193 reviews
The park is beautifully situated in the middle of the forest and is appreciated by guests for its tranquillity, space and beautiful natural surroundings. The reception staff are generally friendly and helpful, and the cleanliness of the accommodations and the park itself is often a positive point. The indoor pool with slide and the option to use the adjacent outdoor pool for free are well received. However, many guests point out that cleaning is inconsistent, particularly in the pool changing rooms and sometimes also in the lodges. Additionally, the restaurant is described as limited in opening hours and quality, leaving room for improvement.

Our stay was a nightmare. The property had active mouse nests inside the walls and under the floorboards with noises keeping us awake at night.
To make matters worse, management is deliberately ignoring all our messages and complaints. Save your money and stay somewhere else! -

The park definitely has the potential to offer much more. The restaurants and cafes don’t open until 12:00 and close as early as 20:00, and on top of that, they’re closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays!
Otherwise, it’s a beautiful, green park with nice campsites and clean restroom facilities.this is a translation, click here for the original
Het park heeft zeker potentie om er veel meer uit te halen. Horeca gaat pas open om 12:00 en om 20:00 sluit het al weer, en dan is de horeca ook nog eens dicht op de dinsdag en woensdag!
Voor de rest is het een mooi groen park, mooie kampeerplaatsen en schone sanitairruimtes. -
