    We went to EuroParcs for a holiday with a big group, expecting to relax, enjoy our time together and have some long evenings of chatting and laughing. Unfortunately, that was not our experience at all.

    We were repeatedly approached and complained to about noise, even during the daytime. Of course, we understand that everyone should respect the surroundings, but when you book a holiday cottage with a large group, you expect to be able to enjoy a normal conversation and spend time together without constantly feeling that you are disturbing someone.

    The cottage itself was also very disappointing. It was not properly clean and had a lot of mosquitoes and other insects inside. The accommodation felt very small and congested for a large group, making the stay uncomfortable.

    This was our first experience with EuroParcs in the Netherlands, and unfortunately it left us with a very negative impression.

    Not recommended if you are travelling with a big group and want to relax, enjoy evenings together and have some freedom during your holiday.

    I was visiting my daughter, but it looks like a nice park.
    The tiny houses looked cute, built in a little courtyard... very cozy!

    Ik was op bezoek bij m'n dochter maar het lijkt me een leuk park.
    De tiny houses zagen er leuk uit, gebouwd in een hofje...heel knus!

    Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by a young guy with wavy hair! We checked in on August 15 at 4:30 p.m. Everything was clear, and he was able to answer every question.

    The folder included directions to the cottage. I sometimes find the parking lot a bit small, but
    you can always find a spot.

    The on-site shop closes early, but look at all the things they have there! Amazing. And the service is great.

    Bij het binnenkomen, prachtig onthaald door een jonge kerel met golvend haar! Op 15/08 16u30 ingecheckt. Alles was duidelijk en kon elke vraag beantwoorden.

    Mapje was met de route tot aan het huisje. Parking vind ik soms wat klein maar al
    Bij al vind je altijd plek.

    Het winkeltje op locatie is vroeg dicht, maar wat ze daar allemaal hebben! Geweldig. En aangename bediening.
