    Perfect vacation in the perfect surroundings. Even the weather (snow) cooperated. Hot tub included 👍 House 95 for 4 people right on the edge of the forest. You have a good private zone.

    We had a wonderful vacation in one of the pool lodges! A neat, quiet park and a very nice and nice cottage, of course the pool (what a luxury!) and the beautiful surroundings (you walk straight into the forest). The service/contact with the staff was pleasant. They thought with us and are always ready. We also liked the food at Sorella's. There is an enthusiastic and friendly staff and a takeaway is a godsend if you do not feel like cooking :-) In short: highly recommended and we would love to come back!

    Wij hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad in een van de poollodges! Een net, rustig park en een heel mooi en fijn huisje, natuurlijk het zwembad (wat een luxe!) en de prachtige omgeving (je loopt zo het bos in). De service/het contact met de medewerkers was prettig. Ze hebben met ons meegedacht en staan altijd klaar. Ook het eten van Sorella's is ons goed bevallen. Er werkt een enthousiaste en lieve medewerkster en een takeaway is een uitkomst als je even geen zin hebt om te koken :-) Kortom: een aanrader en we komen graag nog eens terug!

    We had a Heuvelrug house for 6 people. A great house in a great location in the park. (Number 166). It was very clean. The beds were made on arrival. There were towels and bathrobes with slippers (for the adults). And there were a few little surprises: shower kit, small shampoo, washing up liquid, tea towel and cloth, small drinks pack (coffee capsules, sugar, milk powder, tea to try). Driving in at the barrier and opening and closing the front door via app worked smoothly. Contact via WhatsApp also went smoothly and questions were answered quickly (in German/English). There were four of us traveling and the room with the bunk bed is really small, but it was totally sufficient for us. (loft bed). We also had a bedroom with two single beds and a bedroom with a double bed. There was a small or larger closet in each room. The bathroom was very modern. The kitchen also had everything we needed for six days. Only the teaspoons were really tiny and there could have been a bit more cutlery. Otherwise everything was great. Can highly recommend the park (you can get to Amsterdam, Efteling or Utrecht relatively quickly). It is quiet and the location with direct access to the forest is very nice.

    Wir hatten ein Heuvelrug Haus für 6Personen. Ein tolles Haus in einer tollen Lage im Park. (Nummer 166). Es war sehr sauber. Die Betten bei Ankunft bezogen. Es gab Handtücher und Bademäntel mit Badelatschen ( für die Erwachsenen). Und es hielt ein paar kleine Überraschungen parat: Duschzeug, Shampoo in klein, Spülmittel, Geschirrtuch und Lappen, kleines Getränkepaket (Kaffeekapseln, Zucker, Milchpulver, Tee zum probieren). Das Einfahren an der Schranke und das Öffnen und Schließen der Haustür per App funktionierte reibungslos. Auch der Kontakt per WhatsApp verlief reibungslos und Fragen wurden schnell (auf deutsch/Englisch) beantwortet. Wir sind zu viert verreist und das Zimmer mit dem Hochbett ist wirklich klein, aber für uns hat es total ausgereicht. (Hochbett). Wir hatten noch ein Schlafzimmer mit zwei Einzelbetten und ein Schlafzimmer mit einem Doppelbett. Es gab in jedem Zimmer einen kleinen oder größeren Kleiderschrank. Das Bad war sehr modern eingerichtet. Auch die Küche hatte soweit alles, was wir für sechs Tage brauchten. Lediglich die Teelöffel waren wirklich winzig kleine Teelöffel und es hätte etwas mehr Besteck sein können. Ansonsten alles super. Können den Park ( man ist relativ schnell in Amsterdam, Efteling oder Utrecht) sehr empfehlen. Es ist ruhig und die Lage mit direktem Zugang zum Wald sehr schön.

    Our ecolodge (89) was really fantastic! Beautiful location with unobstructed views, very cozy interior with the luxury as at home and of course the lovely hot tub in the garden. Furthermore, fine environment for cycling.
