    Your cottage is located behind a massive barn where the farmer plays German schlager music at full volume all day long. I reported this to the front desk several times, but nothing was done about it. The beds date back to before 1970—wooden slatted frames and an absolutely terrible mattress. The Wi-Fi is useless. We cut our vacation short by three days. After reporting all of this to the front desk, we were told that it wasn’t really that bad. First and last time here.

    Je huisje staat aan de achterkant van een megaschuur waar de boer, de hele dag duitseslager muziek draait op standje 10. Meerdere malen melding gemaakt bij de receptie word niets mee gedaan. De bedden dateren nog van voor 1970 houten lattenbodem en een schandalig matras. Wifi is waardeloos. Vakantie 3 dagen eerder afgebroken. Na dit alles bij de receptie te hebben gemeld kregen wij te horen dat het allemaal wel meeviel. Eerste en laatste keer hier.

    A very cozy and lovely swimming lake. Great service, and everything was clean and tidy. We stayed there for 5 days with our kids and dog, and I highly recommend it. Our kids would have liked a bigger pool, so we’re giving it only 4 stars.

    Meget hyggeligt og lækker badesø. God service og ren og pænt over det hele. Vi var der i 5 dage med børn og hund og kan kun anbefales. Vores børn ville gerne have haft en større pool, derfor giver vi kun 4 stjerner.

    Lovely campsite which covers every area of camping you want. Tents, motorhome,chalets, cabins etc. There are two fishing lakes one with pitches right on the waters edge. Absolutely wonderful but different to book as they are limited. The food menue is limited but nicely cooked, restaurant and lounge areas were great and there were lots of staff everywhere and they were all extremely friendly and helpful. Particularly the reception staff dealing with those these awkward English people 😀. We had a great time there, our 2nd visit and certainly will return if we come back to the Netherlands.

    This was our fifth time there. We're still thrilled. The resort is very beautiful. There's good entertainment for the kids. The houses and terraces could be cleaned a little better.
