  • Family-friendly holiday park close to the German border
  • A five-minute drive from Denekamp and 10 minutes from Nordhorn
  • On-site fishing, indoor pool, watersports and seasonal entertainment
It's two countries for the price of one at Papillon Country Resort, a Dutch (but only just) holiday park mere metres from the German border. Like what you see? Then get set for border-hopping days by car, bike or on foot. This sightly spot also has direct access to the Almelo-Nordhorn Canal and its cycle path – if you discover a knack for paddling while here, you could also drift downstream to Deutschland of an afternoon… When you tire of toing and froing, plenty of kid- and grownup-pleasing antics can be had back at base. The list of options here is long and varies depending on the time of year, but highlights include fishing, swims in the indoor pool, several open-air playgrounds, tennis and table tennis. If you're around during the summer, a whole host of extra activities are laid on for the nippers, like the site's seasonal kids' club and various forms of toe-tapping entertainment. As well as sorting family-friendly downtime, Papillon Country Resort has also come up trumps on practical matters. When tired-out tiddlers' stomachs start to rumble there's a pizza restaurant that should fit the bill, while grownups looking for a quiet evening beer can settle in at the on-site bar. Other nifty features include wifi, a small food shop and a handy info point. And when supermarkets or weekly markets are wanted, you've the choice between Denekamp (five minutes' drive) and Nordhorn (10 minutes).

Liked: Excellent site, we had been on a long tour of Norway so treated ourselves to a pitch with a bathroom pod which was a real bonus. Nicely spaced out pitches, good clean facilities and a decent restaurant on site. Top up with goodies at the local Lidl !

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

For low-key outings close to home, head by car (10 minutes) or bike (20 minutes) to Singraven, a country estate set in pleasingly varied grounds just outside Denekamp. You'll need to book a tour to look inside the house and gawp at its art-stuffed interiors, but the gardens and farm shop are open most weekends from spring to autumn. Over in Lower Saxony, Nordhorn (10 minutes' drive) has a zoo, an open-air lido and a couple of museums to keep you occupied. Lingen (30 minutes), only a tad further away, is another place with some visit-worthy offerings: shopping opportunities, a four-centuries-old town square and a waterpark and spa should be enough to get started… Further afield but well worth the trip is Münster (an hour), where a Gothic 13th-century cathedral, gabled houses and baroque castles will prove popular with architecture fans. Grownups and road-safe teens can hire segways, while those after a sit-down spin around town have a handy tourist bus to help them get around.
