    We headed to the Verloren Kost with high expectations. Unfortunately, our stay was quite a disappointment—something I hadn’t expected given all the positive reviews. The tent wasn’t clean; for example, the bathroom had several spots of mold, and the dishes weren’t clean. The second thing that was disappointing was the lack of peace and quiet. We … had children screaming and shouting next to and in front of our tent until 9:30 p.m., which made it quite difficult for our 2-year-old daughter to sleep. Of course, I expect children and the noise that comes with them, but not that late in the evening. Finally, I found all the animal enclosures to be run-down and even dirty. The petting barn at the petting zoo was completely dilapidated, and there wasn’t a single animal in sight. All in all, not an experience I’d want to repeat, especially considering what we paid (800 euros for 3 nights) and what we got in return—even during peak season.

    Met hoge verwachtingen gingen we richting de Verloren Kost. Helaas was ons verblijf een flinke teleurstelling, iets wat ik niet had verwacht gezien alle positieve reviews. De tent was niet schoon, onder andere de badkamer had verschillende schimmelplekken en het servies was niet schoon. Het 2de wat tegenviel was het gebrek aan rust. We hadden tot half 10 s avonds gillende en schreeuwende kinderen naast en voor onze tent, wat de slaap van onze dochter van 2 nogal lastig maakte. Tuurlijk verwacht ik kinderen en het geluid dat daarbij hoort, maar niet zo laat nog. Tenslotte vond ik alle verblijven van de dieren vervallen en zelfs vies. De knuffelschuur van de kinderboerderij was compleet vervallen en er was geen dier te bekennen. Al met al niet voor herhaling vatbaar, zeker gezien wat er ervoor betaald hebben (800 euro, 3 nachten) en wat ervoor tegen over stond. Ook in het hoogseizoen.

    A great place for (luxury) camping with kids. Comfortably furnished tents, friendly people, and a good base for hiking and biking.
    It's really nice how much the kids get to experience of farm life.
