    We rented the 10 person bungalow for a midweek. Nice clean rooms and bathrooms also fine good showers. Were a midweek in January and then all facilities are closed that was disappointing in the neighborhood is nothing. Bit pauper but they are refurbishing it now many new mobile homes. Actually find it pretty good value for money. But I will not go here again.

    We hebben de 10 persoons bungalow een midweek gehuurd. Mooie nette kamers en badkamers ook prima goede douches. Waren een midweek in januari en dan zijn alle faciliteiten dicht dat viel tegen in de buurt is niets. Beetje pauper maar ze zijn het nu aan het opknappen veel nieuwe stacaravans. Vind het eigenlijk best wel prima prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Maar ik ga hier niet meer heen.

    Bungalow for 10 was really fine, highly recommended. Pretty new, spacious, the basics were there, nice view of the garden/grass field, tremendously nice that even in winter you can use the indoor pool and indoor playground with our kids, free / unlimited access even! Disadvantage is that in some bedrooms can not open a window, you can not get to your cottage with your car. Apart from the bungalow (which was really more than fine and highly recommended) everything is terribly outdated. The general areas are really in dire need of renovation/renovation. The bath and shower were really dirty! Mayonnaise and spit on the floor and just junk on the floor. Food in restaurant was fine and good enough for the price. Again particularly appreciative that it is open in the off season.

    Bungalow voor 10 personen was echt prima, een aanrader. Vrij nieuw, ruimtelijk, de basics waren aanwezig, fijn uitzicht op de tuin/grasveld, enorm fijn dat je zelfs in de winter gebruik kunt maken van het binnenzwembad en de binnenspeeltuin met onze kinderen, gratis / onbeperkt toegang zelfs! Nadeel is dat op sommige slaapkamers geen raam open kan, je niet met je auto bij je huisje komt. Buiten de bungalow om (die dus echt meer dan prima was en een enorme aanrader) is alles vreselijk verouderd. De algemene ruimtes zijn echt enorm toe aan vernieuwing/renovering. Het de badhokjes en douche waren wel echt smerig! Mayonaise en spuug op de vloer en gewoon troepjes op de grond. Het eten in restaurant was prima en goed genoeg voor de prijs. Ook daar weer bijzonder te waarderen dat het open is in het laagseizoen.

    Friendly reception. Once towards the chalet B5 we have to go through a molehill field. No path or anything. Once inside the heating is on 10gr, nothing warm welcome but a stone cold chalet. The interior is very outdated and out of date. All in all a very annoying atmosphere around the bungalow also due to the poor site lighting.

    Vriendelijke ontvangst. Eenmaal richting de chalet B5 moeten we door een molshopen veld. Geen pad of zoiets. Eenmaal binnen staat de verwarming op 10gr, niks warm welkom maar een steenkoude chalet. De inrichting is sterk verouderd en niet meer van deze tijd. Alles bij elkaar een hele vervelende sfeer rondom de bungalow ook door de slechte terrein verlichting.
