What customers say
Great for families in a lovely natural spot. Guests love the big pitches, clean loos, and helpful staff. The river, play areas, and surrounds are a hit. Some noise from music/tractors & bar closes early. Dog fees and activity costs noted.

Anonymous Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Pitch was great, beautiful grounds, water was clean for swimming, adventure playground great for the kids & lovely hot water.
Disliked Cafe/restaurant very expensive & doesn’t really cater for little kids, no option for tiny meals just standard prices.
Too many wasps everywhere, I know this is unavoidable but maybe more wasp repellant gadgets everywhere.
Online booking for activities were complicated, signing wavers confusing.

Anonymous Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked De plek op ons veld. Niet te druk en ver genoeg weg van alle speeltoestellen.
Schone wc's en douches.
De hoeveelheid bomen en grootsheid van het park.
Disliked Weinig, jammer dat de (grote) honden geen makkelijk toegang hebben tot zwemwater. Steile afgronden.
