    What a lovely park! I spent a midweek stay here from May 25 to 29, and it was very quiet in the park. The staff was very friendly, and the Tiny House I stayed in was neat and clean. There were lots of geese walking around the park with their chicks, which meant there was a lot of droppings everywhere, including on the beaches. The largest beach in … the middle of the park is well-maintained, so you can always relax there, even when there are lots of birds.
    I thought the Tiny House was quite spacious for such a small cottage, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was a bit on the small side, and there were cabinets hanging above the countertop that I kept bumping my head on. The cottage is very susceptible to the outside temperature; even with the curtains closed, it was 36 degrees inside by the end of the day. When it cooled off in the evening and you opened the doors, the temperature dropped quickly, but a lot of mosquitoes came inside. The nights were still quite cold in May, and in the mornings it was only 16 degrees inside the cottage. The four Tiny Houses share a small vegetable garden where I picked mint for tea, and they all have a picnic table and two lounge chairs.

    Wat een fijn park! Ik heb hier een midweek doorgebracht van 25 tot 29 mei, en het was erg rustig nop het park. Het personeel was erg vriendelijk en het Tiny House waar ik in zat netjes en schoon. Er liepen veel ganzen in het park met hun kleintjes, waardoor er overal veel poep lag, ook op de stranden. Het grootste strand in het midden van het park wordt goed onderhouden, dus hier kan je altijd liggen, ook als er veel vogels zijn.
    Het Tiny House vond ik voor een klein huisje best groot, de bedden waren erg comfortabel. De keuken was wat aan de kleine kant, en er hingen kastjes boven het aanrecht waar ik iedere keer mijn hoofd aan stootte. Het huisje is erg vatbaar voor de temperatuur van de omgeving, ook met de gordijnen dicht was het aan het einde van de dag 36 graden in het huisje. Als het savonds afkoelde en je de deuren open zette zakte de temperatuur snel, maar kwamen er wel weer veel muggen binnen. De nachten waren nog vrij koud in mei, en sochtends was het maar 16 graden in het huisje. De 4 Tiny Houses hebben een kleine gedeelde moestuin waar ik munt heb geplukt voor thee, en ze hebben allemaal een picknicktafel en 2 ligstoelen.
