The view from our cottage was truly amazing! (Wilg 39). Unfortunately, we couldn’t open any windows or doors in the evening because of the many large spiders that had spun their webs all around the cottage. On the first night, we used the vacuum cleaner to remove at least 15 large spiders that were inside. We went to the front desk about this and were told that the exterior of the cottage had been cleaned in the spring. Since it was the weekend, they didn’t know if anyone was available to come take a look.
We didn’t see or hear from anyone about this in the days that followed... which is a real shame, because with that heat, it definitely got up to 30°C inside the cottage during the day (and we didn’t have air conditioning).
Inside the cottage, it had been cleaned well enough, but not fantastically...this is a translation, click here for the original
Bij ons huisje was het uitzicht echt geweldig! (Wilg 39) . Helaas konden er s avonds geen ramen of deuren open gezet worden ivm de vele dikke spinnen die rondom het huisje ingenetseld waren. De eerste avond hebben we zeker 15 dikke spinnen die binnen zaten met de stofzuiger verwijderd. We gingen hiervoor naar de receptie en kregen te horen dat het huisje in het voorjaar aan de buitenkant schoon was gemaakt. Aangezien het weekend was wisten ze niet of er iemand beschikbaar was om te komen kijken hiervoor.
We hebben de dagen daarop niemand hiervoor gezien of gehoord... zeer jammer, want in het huisje werd het overdag met die hitte toch zeker 30°C (en we hadden geen airco).
Binnen in het huisje was er goed genoeg schoongemaakt, maar niet fantastisch... -

A beautiful vacation park right on the water. The two of us rented a chalet, and it had everything we needed in terms of amenities. A lovely beach with a cozy beach bar. Several shopping options about 10 minutes away. Highly recommended!

Schöner Ferienpark direkt am Wasser gelegen. Hatten zu zweit ein Chalet gemietet und von der Einrichtung her alles was man braucht. Schöner Strand mit gemütlicher Strandbar. Mehrere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in ca 10min Entfernung. Empfehlenswert!

The accommodation smelled of mould and there was mould on the curtains. We offered to pay more to upgrade to a better place but they refused to allow us to swap. All the accommodation is owned by individuals so it’s just luck whether you get a mouldy disgusting one or not. I would never take the risk again

Extremely expensive RV sites with filthy restrooms that aren’t maintained. Toilet paper hadn’t been replaced in two days, and the restrooms hadn’t been cleaned in two days either—it was truly appalling. In the park itself, there was also one public restroom near the playgrounds that was downright filthy. When I went all the way to the front desk to get toilet paper, I was initially brushed off. Eventually, after insisting, they did their job and replaced the rolls themselves.
The restaurant wasn’t open two days a week, and on top of that, the pool was closed due to a technical malfunction. We tried to cancel but got no response. No one was available at the time, and our email remains unanswered to this day. In the end, we just left a night early.this is a translation, click here for the original
Zeer dure staanplekken voor campers met enorm smerige sanitair die niet wordt onderhouden. Toiletrollen zijn in 2 dagen niet vervangen geweest, ook 2 dagen niet gepoetst geweest echt schrijnend. In het park zelf ook 1 openbaar toilet aan de speeltuinen die ronduit smerig was. Wanneer ik toiletpapier helemaal op de receptie wil gaan halen wordt ik eerst afgewimpeld. Uiteindelijk hun job gedaan na aandringen en de rollen zelf gaan vervangen.
Resto 2 dagen van de week niet geopend en dan was het zwembad nog gesloten wegens technisch defect. Proberen annuleren maar kregen geen gehoor. Niemand beschikbaar op de moment zelf en mail tot op heden onbeantwoord. Uiteindelijk gewoon na 1 nacht vroeger vertrokken.
