Het ziet er mooi uit, vooral de tent

We reizen met ons gezin en helaas was er geen familiekamer voor 5 personen of twee accommodaties bij elkaar.

"Perfect family destination"

8.0

The place has a wonderful feel to it, pretty and family orientated. The kids loved all the bunnies. The restaurant was top standard.

Bedding, towels seemed very old and worn out, also did not smell too fresh(as if standing for a while) this is not a game changer for me, I would definitely stay there again but if you are picky I would perhaps bring my own towels/ bedding if you stay in the luxury tents. I'm not sure how the houses/rooms bedding are.

"Beautiful, relaxing setting in nature that offers so much for the soul and good value for money."

9.0

The glamping tents are beautifully located and very well eqipped and they are replenished well each day and cleaned if you so choose. This is a lovely touch. The beds are super comfy and very clean and all the little extras like bug spray are available. The interior is tasteful and clean The breakfast restaurant has a good breakfast that is very generous and tasteful. The main dining restaurant has a lovely old world charm and the food is tasty and generously portioned with good presentation. Our waiter was superb and so friendly. He really looked after us. Excellent Lovely areas available for walks and hikes and general relaxation zones. This is a farm that is well run, well-manicured and offers a guest a lot of relaxation and value for money Loved the pool area with the buck species. It was my personal highlight.

The Wi-Fi in the glamping tents is very intermittent The tv channels are just the worst ever. Best to rather get rid of the whole t-v set up in the glamping tents as the signal is bad and thus produces a terrible quality of viewing. That coupled with the terrible selection of channels is rather not worth having. Try to improve the Wi-Fi and have for example Netflix available or no tv. The breakfast area needs a stronger presence on the floor. The lady, although sweet is not switched on to the functioning of the buffet area. Two out of the 3 days that we were there we had to ass for replenishments. This should be checked until the last guest leaves.
