Summary created out of 383 reviews

Veluwepark de Bosgraaf is situated in a beautiful wooded location on the Veluwe, ideal for walking and cycling. The park is undergoing extensive development with new, luxurious accommodations that are modernly furnished with amenities such as air conditioning and hot tubs. Guests appreciate the large playground, the swimming pool, and the friendly, helpful staff. However, there are points of concern: construction work causes disturbance with noise and vacant plots, guests complain about poor communication beforehand, and the swimming pool regularly has technical issues with water being too cold.

    We had a long weekend in a really nice cottage (370)! It was beautifully decorated, cozy, and we were nicely sheltered outside, surrounded by lots of greenery. There’s plenty for kids to do, and the plants and flowers in the new areas of the park are a feast for the eyes!

    A few things to note, though: you can see (though we didn’t hear them) construction work, and mowing the lawn around 8:30 a.m. isn’t exactly relaxing either (this happened to some family members of ours who were also staying there). Given the luxury of the cottages (and what you pay), I’d expect window screens. Also, the website states that the pool is heated, but we didn’t feel that at all. They don’t have a plastic waste collection system, which is really unacceptable these days. Something else we found unsettling is that on your check-out day, sheets and a toilet paper roll are placed on your outdoor furniture around 9 a.m. This makes you feel rushed, even though you have until 11 a.m. Furthermore, it’s unhygienic to leave the toilet paper there. This didn’t just happen to us, but also to our family.

    We hebben een lang weekend in een heel fijn huisje (370) gehad! Mooi ingericht, knus en ook buiten zaten we lekker beschut met veel groen naast ons. Voor kinderen is er genoeg te doen en de planten en bloemen in de nieuwe gedeeltes van het park zijn een lust voor het oog!

    Wel wat aandachtspunten; je ziet (wij hebben ze niet gehoord) bouwwerkzaamheden, gras maaien rond 8.30 uur is ook niet echt relaxt (gebeurde bij familie van ons die er ook verbleef). Voor de luxe staat van de huisjes (en wat je betaald) verwacht ik horren voor de ramen. Daarnaast wordt op de website aangegeven dat het zwembad verwarmd is, dat was niet te voelen. Ze hebben geen inzameling van plastic afval wat in deze tijd echt niet meer kan. Iets wat we ook niet relaxt vonden is dat er op je uitcheckdag al lakens en een wc rol worden neergelegd op je buitenmeubilair rond 9 uur. Je voelt je hierdoor opgejaagd terwijl je tot 11 uur de tijd hebt. Daarnaast ook niet hygiënisch om de toiletrol daar neer te leggen. Dit gebeurde niet alleen bij ons, maar ook bij onze familie.

    We were so pleasantly surprised by this beautiful place! A large living room, plenty of space around the cottage, and everything still looked brand-new. The garden is beautifully landscaped and very well maintained. We felt like we were outside the Netherlands, partly because of the weather. The pool is more than suitable for our children’s ages (11 and 13), and the restaurant is cozy and serves good food. We highly recommend it for a vacation in the Veluwe—we’ll be happy to come back next year!

    Wat waren wij aangenaam verrast door deze prachtige plek! Grote woonkamer, veel ruimte om het huisje en alles zag er nog als nieuw uit. De tuin is prachtig aangelegd en wordt zeer goed onderhouden. We waanden ons buiten Nederland, mede door het weer. Het zwembad is meer dan prima voor de leeftijd van onze kinderen (11 en 13) en het restaurant is gezellig en heeft goed eten. Een dikke aanrader voor vakantie op de Veluwe, wij zullen volgend jaar met veel plezier terugkomen!
