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.

    Well the nature is stunning. Surroundings are very nice. The cabin we had rented was good enough. But cleaning is a bit problematic.The towels were not well cleaned, one cover and one pillow cover was too much dirty. When we called them, they immediatly sent new ones. But when we were leaving, I saw this on the photos. Either they could wash them with vanish or throw them away.

    We booked a glamping tent through Booking.com and would like to share our mixed experiences so that other guests can get a better idea of what to expect. The contactless check-in was very well organized - everything was explained clearly and the key handover via letterbox worked without any problems. The complex itself is also very nicely located and well maintained. The tent looked like the one in the pictures, but we had considerable problems with the heating. The stove in the tent worked at first, but then developed a lot of smoke, so that the whole tent was smoky. Our clothes and objects smelled strongly of smoke, I started coughing and one person in our group with pneumonia was additionally affected. After the stove could no longer be used, it was very cold and damp in the tent, which made the overall stay unpleasant. We contacted the accommodation several times, but unfortunately the response was not particularly cooperative. We were told that we could possibly move to a heated vacation home in two days - but this was not an option in our situation. There was no direct solution or concession, and we also had to contact customer service via Booking.com for a refund, as the accommodation itself did not respond. We would like to emphasize: The resort is really nice, and those who book a vacation home will certainly have a good time here. However, we would not recommend the glamping tent for the colder months, as heating and humidity are a real problem and the stay can quickly become uncomfortable.

    Wir haben über Booking.com ein Glamping-Zelt gebucht und möchten gerne unsere gemischten Erfahrungen teilen, damit andere Gäste besser einschätzen können, was sie erwartet. Der kontaktlose Check-in war sehr gut organisiert – alles wurde verständlich erklärt, die Schlüsselübergabe per Briefkasten hat problemlos funktioniert. Auch die Anlage selbst ist sehr schön gelegen und wirkt gepflegt. Das Zelt sah aus wie auf den Bildern, allerdings hatten wir erhebliche Probleme mit der Heizung. Der im Zelt vorhandene Ofen hat zunächst funktioniert, entwickelte dann aber eine starke Rauchentwicklung, sodass das gesamte Zelt verqualmt war. Unsere Kleidung und Gegenstände rochen stark nach Rauch, ich bekam Husten und eine Person in unserer Gruppe mit Lungenentzündung wurde dadurch zusätzlich belastet. Nachdem der Ofen nicht mehr genutzt werden konnte, war es im Zelt sehr kalt und feucht, was den Aufenthalt insgesamt unangenehm machte. Wir haben die Unterkunft mehrfach kontaktiert, doch die Reaktion war leider nicht besonders kooperativ. Es wurde uns gesagt, dass wir eventuell in zwei Tagen in ein beheiztes Ferienhaus umziehen könnten – was jedoch in unserer Situation keine Option war. Eine direkte Lösung oder Entgegenkommen gab es nicht, und auch bei der Rückerstattung mussten wir uns über Booking.com an den Kundenservice wenden, da die Unterkunft selbst nicht reagiert hat. Wir möchten betonen: Die Anlage ist wirklich schön, und wer ein Ferienhaus bucht, wird hier sicher eine gute Zeit haben. Das Glamping-Zelt würden wir allerdings nicht für die kälteren Monate empfehlen, da Heizung und Feuchtigkeit ein echtes Problem darstellen und der Aufenthalt schnell ungemütlich werden kann.

    We liked the park and the restaurant in itself, as well as the presence of the Jacuzzi at the cottage. Unfortunately, the cottage was really dirty which disappointed us greatly. I contacted the owners, but they have not responded to my message to date. I felt it was important to give them a chance to respond to my message before writing a review online, but now I am forced to post this online. The stay costs way too much money to then end up in a dirty house. Such a shame.

    Wij vonden het park en het restaurant op zich fijn, net zoals de aanwezigheid van de jacuzzi aan het huisje. Het huisje was jammer genoeg echt vuil en dat heeft ons enorm teleurgesteld. Ik heb contact opgenomen met de eigenaars, maar zij hebben tot op heden niet gereageerd op mijn bericht. Ik vond het belangrijk hen de kans te geven op mijn bericht te reageren alvorens online een review te schrijven, maar nu zie ik mij genoodzaakt dit online te plaatsen. Het verblijf kost veel te veel geld om dan in een vuil huisje terecht te komen. Zo spijtig.
