    Paid a premium price for this "fireworks free" park at the turn of the year. However, there was quite a bit of dusting at the neighbors. When I reported this to the park nothing was done. Never again.

    Tijdens de jaarwisseling een premium prijs betaald voor dit 'vuurwerk vrije' park. Toch is er bij de buren behoorlijk wat afgestoken. Toen ik dit bij het park aangaf werd er niks mee gedaan. Nooit meer.

    2 families in pool lodge 6 and 7. İn our house we found a handwritten welcome card. Enormous sweet gesture. Beautiful luxury homes with private heated pool. Large garden, inside nicely decorated, neat, clean and fully equipped. Right next to the forest, the Utrecht Ridge. We were lucky with the weather and made beautiful forest walks. Enjoyed the many varieties of mushrooms. Restful, even though our garden looked at the sports field. This was shielded with high green cloths and did not experience it as disturbing. Friendly staff, who also stopped by at the start to ask if everything was satisfactory. Park itself well maintained. Plenty of room for children to play. We brought our own food so did not use the catering. There is also a supermarket 10 min away so we did the rest of our shopping there. Close to Oudehands Dierenpark so possible to combine. That there is a washer and dryer is also very pleasant. Definitely worth repeating.

    2 gezinnen in pool lodge 6 en 7. İn ons huis troffen we een handgeschreven welkoms kaart aan. Enorm lief gebaar. Prachtige luxe huizen met verwarmde prive pool. Grote tuin, binnen mooi ingericht, netjes, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Pal naast het bos, De Utrechtse Heuvelrug. We troffen het met het weer en hebben mooie boswandelingen gemaakt. Genoten van de vele variaties aan paddestoelen. Rustgevend, ook al keek onze tuin naar het sportveld. Deze was afgeschermd met hoge groene doeken en ervaarden het niet als storend. Vriendelijk personeel, die bij aanvang ook even langskwam om te vragen of alles naar wens was. Park zelf netjes onderhouden. Genoeg speelgelegenheid voor de kinderen. We hadden zelf ons eten meegenomen dus geen gebruik gemaakt van de horeca. Er is op 10 min afstand ook een supermarkt aanwezig dus daar hebben we de rest van onze boodschappen gedaan. Vlak bij Oudehands Dierenpark dus eventueel te kombineren. Dat er een wasmachine en droger aanwezig is is ook zeer prettig. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.

    As beautiful as the website and photos are, the park itself is not. I wouldn't call it a full-fledged vacation park, but rather a luxurious but somewhat claustrophobic-feeling bungalow park. The park is next to a wooded area, and has to rely on that. The facilities on the park are there, but do not invite to a longer stay and certainly not in busier periods. Not a must, but there are better places to stay with children.

    Zo mooi als de website en de foto’s zijn, zo mooi is het park zelf niet. Ik zou het geen volwaardig vakantiepark willen noemen, maar eerder een luxe maar wat claustrofobisch aanvoelend bungalowpark. Het park ligt naast een bosrijke omgeving, en moet het daar van hebben. De voorzieningen op het park zijn er, maar nodigen niet uit tot een langer verblijf en zeker niet in drukkere periodes. Geen afrader, maar er zijn betere plekken te vinden om te verblijven met kinderen.
