    After booking and paying for my stay, the host cancelled my stay and to date I have not received a refund. Very unprofessional approach to the customer. Very poor contact. I would not recommend

    For our girlfriends weekend, we had rented two bungalows at the park. After a rude welcome by the owner, all in all we had an excellent stay at the park. Upon arrival, we were asked about our age, followed by the message that if under 25, we were not welcome at the park. When it turned out that we were "old enough" we were allowed to stay, with the warning that we would still be removed from the park if there was any nuisance. When we were told this we had not yet set foot in the park itself, we had only been in the reception. Upon arrival at the cottages, one of the cottages had a pungent dog smell. It stank to such an extent that it was not an option for us to stay in this cottage. We then asked for a second interview with the owner, in which we discussed that we found it unfriendly how we were welcomed at the park. We also asked for an alternative cottage. Eventually we received an apology for the way we were welcomed and an alternative cottage was offered. Once we arrived at the new cottage, we found that it had not been cleaned. After an email to the owner this was done. In short, not the relaxed start to the weekend we had hoped for. All in all, we did enjoy the location.

    Voor ons vriendinnenweekend hadden wij twee bungalows gehuurd op het park. Na een onbeleefd welkom door de eigenaresse, hebben wij al met al een prima verblijf gehad op het park. Bij aankomst werd ons gevraagd naar onze leeftijd, waarna de boodschap werd gegeven dat wij, indien onder de 25 jaar, niet welkom waren op het park. Toen bleek dat wij ‘oud genoeg’ waren mochten wij blijven, met de waarschuwing dat wij alsnog van het park verwijderd zouden worden als er overlast zou zijn. Toen ons dit verteld werd hadden wij nog geen voet op het park zelf gezet, wij waren enkel in de receptie geweest. Bij aankomst bij de huisjes bleek in één van beide huisjes een penetrante hondengeur te hangen. Het stonk dermate dat het voor ons geen optie was om in dit huisje te verblijven. Wij hebben hierna een tweede gesprek gevraagd met de eigenaresse, waarin wij bespreekbaar hebben kunnen maken dat wij het onvriendelijk hebben gevonden hoe wij verwelkomt zijn op het park. Daarnaast hebben wij gevraagd om een aternatief huisje. Uiteindelijk hebben wij excuses ontvangen voor de manier waarop we verwelkomt zijn en is er een alternatief huisje aangeboden. Eenmaal aangekomen in het nieuwe huisje, bleek deze niet schoongemaakt te zijn. Na een appje aan de eigenaresse is dit alsnog gebeurd. Kortom, niet de relaxte start van het weekend waarop we hadden gehoopt. Al met al wel genoten van de ligging.

    Quietly located and very well-kept vacation park in the forest. There are playgrounds, a soccer pitch and an outdoor pool for free use. You can hire bikes and explore the area, there is a public swimming pool directly opposite the park. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A small disadvantage for us was that there were no other German children.

    Ruhig gelegener und sehr gepflegter Ferienpark im Wald. Es gibt Spielplätze, ein Fußballfeld und ein Freibad zur freien Nutzung. Man kann sich Fahrräder leihen und die Gegend erkunden, direkt gegenüber des Parks gibt es ein öffentliches Schwimmbad. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Kleiner Nachteil für uns war, dass es keine anderen deutschen Kinder gab.
