Dive Into History

Explore the centuries-old Hanseatic city of Harderwijk, where the Hanseatic history can still be found in numerous monuments, beautiful facades, and ancient city walls. Take a stroll through the charming squares where you'll find cozy cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops. The history doesn't end there. Just outside Harderwijk lies De Essenburg Castle, which takes you back to the 17th century with its castle rooms and romantic English landscape garden. If you want to discover more, De Essenburg Castle is one of the stops on the "Culinary Castle Route." This 50-kilometer cycling tour takes you through three beautiful estates in the Veluwe region, where you can also indulge in culinary delights at a special location.


Taste Wine From Our Own Country

Curious about the taste of Dutch wine? On the former seabed of the reclaimed Zuiderzee, you'll find Wijngoed Wilgenhorst. The first harvest took place at this Dutch vineyard in 2014, and it now boasts over 4,000 vines. And, of course, that's something you have to taste.

Regular guided tours take place, where winemaker Geert Horlings takes you through the vineyard and gives you a glimpse into the wine cellar, all while enjoying a good glass of wine. Additionally, on Fridays and Saturdays, you're welcome to visit the wine shop or enjoy a glass of wine on the terrace. For more information, visit the reception of De Parel.

Immerse Yourself In Nature

Holsterwold is not only a beautiful nature reserve with plenty to experience, but it is also one of the largest deciduous forests in the Netherlands. There are stunning hiking trails, and you can enjoy a bike ride through the area. Perhaps you'll spot some of the magnificent animals that inhabit the forest, such as fallow deer, foxes, or wild horses. In the Zevensprong play forest, children can play, climb, and even build huts.

    *Cleanliness Unfortunately I have to deduct one star for cleanliness, the beds were okay so far but we had to wash almost all the dishes again before the first use. *Jacuzzi The Jacuzzi has a very nice location, we first thought it would be nicer if it was a little more sheltered from the weather, but in the evening you could enjoy the clear starry sky in the whirlpool. The disadvantage of the place are the trees, spiders came down regularly. Nevertheless, we personally found it very nice. But even there the dirt should be removed with a net or similar. *Service We have to praise the service, in our lodge (43) the hob didn't work, a few hours after we told them it was repaired. *Suggestions for improvement What I personally missed was a hairdryer, meanwhile there is a hairdryer in every hotel or similar. Unfortunately not here. Unfortunately there is no TV either, but that's not too bad. There is no possibility to hang up a towel in the toilet. One more point, the temperatures. It took us a day to figure out how to heat the room. So tip to the others, don't turn off the heating when you leave the lodge, it cools down very quickly. All in all, we would come back again and again and I imagine the grounds to be very beautiful, especially in summer.

    *Sauberkeit* Bei der Sauberkeit muss ich leider einen Stern abziehen, die Betten waren soweit okay aber das Geschirr mussten wir fast komplett vor der ersten nutzung nochmal Spülen. *Jacuzzi* Der Jacuzzi hat einen sehr schönen Standort, wir dachten erst es wäre schöner wenn er etwas wetter geschützter wäre, allerdings konnte man so Abends den klaren Sternenhimmel im Wirlpool genießen. Nachteil an dem Platz sind die Bäume, da kamen regelmäßig Spinnen runter. Trotzdem fanden wir es persönlich sehr schön. Aber auch da sollte der Dreck mal mit einem Netz o.ä herausgenommen werden. *Service* Den Service muss man loben, in unserer Lodge (43) funktionierte das Kochfeld nicht, wenige Stunden nachdem wir bescheid gesagt haben wurde dies repariert. *Verbesserungsvorschläge* Was mir persönlich gefehlt hat war ein Föhn, mittlerweile gibt es in jedem Hotel o.ä einen Föhn. Hier leider nicht. Ein TV existiert leider auch nicht, ist aber auch nicht weiter tragisch. Auf der Toilette gibt es keine Möglichkeit ein Handtuch aufzuhängen. Ein punkt noch, die Temperaturen. Wir haben einen Tag gebraucht um zu wissen wie wir heizen sollen. Also Tipp an die anderen, schaltet die Heizungen nicht aus wenn ihr die Lodge verlasst, diese kühlt sehr schnell wieder ab. Alles in allem würden wir immer wieder kommen und ich stelle mir das Gelände gerade im Sommer sehr schön vor.

    In a beautiful place, nice and far away from the windmills you will find this cozy park. We were in a 4-6 person cottage with 4 adults and 2 babies. It was extremely cramped! Especially for the hefty amount you pay, you would expect a more spacious cottage. Also the facilities are substandard in our opinion, no storage space for some food (especially if you are with children). We also saw no coffee and only 1 tea cup. In addition, there was only 1 frying pan that should have been in the frying pan graveyard a long time ago by now. The bottom had seen its best days. The jacuzzi was fine, but a bit dirty. About the restaurant we had much praise, very tasty crispy pizzas with lots of toppings. The waitresses in the restaurant did everything to make the kids happy. There were plenty of toys for them. Conclusion, for peace and quiet definitely recommended, in terms of "luxury" it still lacks some.

    Op een prachtige plek, lekker ver afgezonderd van de windmolens vind je dit gezellig opgezette park. We zaten in een 4-6 persoon huisje met 4 volwassenen en 2 baby’s. Het was er enorm krap! Zeker voor de het forse bedrag wat je betaald, zou je een ruimer huisje verwachten. Ook de faciliteiten zijn in onze ogen ondermaats, geen opslagruimte voor wat levensmiddelen (helemaal als je met kinderen bent). Ook hebben wij geen koffie- en maar 1 theekop gezien. Daarnaast was er maar 1 koekenpan die inmiddels allang op het koekenpannen-kerkhof had horen te liggen. De bodem had zijn beste tijd gehad. Verder was de jacuzzi wel prima, echter wel wat viezig. Over het restaurant veel lof, zeer lekker krokante pizza’s met veel beleg. De serveersters in het restaurant deden er alles aan om het de kids naar wens te maken. Er was voldoende speelgoed voor hen. Conclusie, voor de rust en ruimte zeker een aanrader, qua ‘luxe’ schort het hier nog wel wat aan.

    We stayed 6 nights in a lodge for 4 people at Resort the Pearl. The surroundings are beautiful and the nature surrounding the park is really a big plus. The park itself and the lodge also looked nice at first glance.
    We had included an early check-in, but upon arrival the cottage was clearly not ready. There was a very strong frying smell that was so intense that we had to air and clean everything before settling in. The smell was probably in the upholstery and lingered for at least two days. The staff came by with an odor eater, but unfortunately this had little effect.
    In addition, when we arrived there were two high chairs and two cribs instead of one. After we reported this, however, this was neatly picked up. After our complaints, we were also refunded the €25 for the early check-in, which we thought was nicely resolved.
    What we found particularly unfortunate is that Resort de Parel presents itself as a boutique resort. Unfortunately, we did not experience it that way. The park and the cottage were fine, but lacked the finish, atmosphere and attention to detail that you expect at a boutique resort. It all felt just not special enough and therefore the expectations did not match reality.
    All in all a fine location in terms of nature and a fine stay, but not the boutique experience that is promised.

    Wij verbleven 6 nachten in een lodge voor 4 personen bij Resort de Parel. De omgeving is prachtig en de natuur rondom het park is echt een groot pluspunt. Ook het park zelf en de lodge zagen er op het eerste gezicht leuk uit.
    Wij hadden een early check-in bijgeboekt, maar bij aankomst bleek het huisje duidelijk nog niet klaar. Er hing een zeer sterke frituurlucht die zo intens was dat we eerst alles hebben moeten luchten en schoonmaken voordat we ons konden installeren. De geur zat vermoedelijk in de stoffering en bleef zeker twee dagen hangen. Het personeel kwam langs met een geurvreter, maar dit had helaas weinig effect.
    Daarnaast stonden er bij aankomst twee kinderstoelen en twee babybedjes in plaats van één. Nadat we dit hadden aangegeven, is dit wel netjes opgehaald. Na onze klachten hebben we ook de €25 voor de early check-in teruggekregen, wat we netjes vonden opgelost.
    Wat wij vooral jammer vonden, is dat Resort de Parel zichzelf profileert als een boutique resort. Die ervaring hebben wij helaas niet zo ervaren. Het park en het huisje waren prima, maar misten de afwerking, sfeer en aandacht voor detail die je bij een boutique verblijf verwacht. Het voelde allemaal net niet bijzonder genoeg en daardoor kwamen de verwachtingen niet overeen met de werkelijkheid.
    Al met al een fijne locatie qua natuur en een prima verblijf, maar niet de boutique ervaring die wordt beloofd.
