Voor het wandelen is het top, en de natuur zit je zo in, wij hadden het natuurhuisje geboekt. Qua rust heb je eigenlijk constant kinderen die er standaard wonen en die spelen om het terrein en in de bosjes rondom het huisje, iets wat je liever niet wilt als je zo'n huisje boekt. De meneer die alles regelt is erg vriendelijk, de netheid in het huisje kan stukken beter. Overal lag stof onder, de afvoer stinkt naar riool en de hottub was glibberig. Volgens de meneer was dit normaal en had hij hem schoon gemaakt. Echter na onze eigen handeling om hem leeg te laten lopen en schoon te maken en weer te vullen, was dit probleem volledig verholpen. Dit geld ook voor de douche, waar een hele haarbal uit het putje kwam, en het huisje zelf had wel een dweil kunnen gebruiken. Verder was er wel voldoende keukengerei aanwezig om zelf te koken, en wanneer nodig kon je gemakkelijk vragen naar extra handdoeken, vuilniszakken e.d. Bovenal een fijn weekje gehad, voldoende leuke uitjes als fietsen, wandelen, makkelijk bereikbaar centrum van Zutphen. Alleen het kan een stuk netter allemaal, dit was gewoon niet hoe het hoort, voor dit geld hoort het gewoon goed te zijn.

Dit past totaal niet in het concept van boer en bed. Weinig tot geen dieren en verwilderde hokken.er zijn geen activiteiten zoals op de site vermeld. Het tenthuisje is heel duur en echt ondermaats onderhouden. Veel stof onder het bed en op meubels. De speeltuin is heel oud en staat volledig in de netels, waardoor kinderen hier niet goed kunnen spelen. De zandbak is een grote kattenbak. Vergeet je muggenspray niet, want het krioelt van de muggen. De recensies op de site dateren ook van vorige jaren. Wij voelen ons echt bedrogen. Heel jammer!!!

Slecht onderhouden camping; slecht schoongemaakt en geen boerenbedrijf. Past niet in het concept van Boerenbed.
