EuroParcs Beekbergen

The staff were helpful and I found the grounds very beautiful. Overall it was a nice stay, although quite a few things were not working properly. The delivery of firewood for the hot tub did not come, so I had to visit a neighboring holiday park to purchase wood. Unfortunately, even after burning an entire bag (about 10 logs) the water never heated up. I tended to the fire carefully and it burned well, but the water remained cold. Half a day wasted on that, which is not so nice. The wood stove inside the tiny house was also not working well. It was okay at first, but after one day it started giving a message that the fuel needed to be replaced. I was quite cold as a result of this, as the electric heating isn’t very strong. Additionally, the outdoor lights were off upon my arrival. Reception sent an electrician to fix them and he did so in a timely manner. It was only difficult on the first night to search for the accommodation in the complete darkness (I nearly fell a few times). Lastly, the sink in the bathroom does not drain. I still had a nice stay, though it could have been more relaxing if everything was working properly and didn’t result in so much wasted time. Pity.

The house hadn't been properly cleaned when we checked in but that was properly taken care off the next day. The drain in the shower was semi-clogged which favoured very short baths. It would be a great help, if the reception upon check-in would ask if we needed towels. How ever - a very good place for a familiy stay.

We booked the accommodation through an English booking site, but found upon arrival that the English spoken at reception is rudementary. Some questions stayed unaswered and when we couldn't figure out how the aircon worked we didn't even bother going to reception to ask as we weren't sure that would be any help. The house itself was neat and clean, but I was very surprised you have to make your own bed on arrival. The bedding was in a plastic bag laid out on the beds - I have never seen that before so was not amused after a long day travelling to get here to also have to do that. Plus what a waste of plastic! Speaking of plastic - there is no information booklet in the house with basic things like what trash gets seperated and there are no seperate bins in or around. We didn't think they did waste seperation (serious down point in my book) but only found out when we brought our back to the waste station at the end of our stay that they did some seperation - but by then it is too late. Also no basic descriptions of how apparatus works, like the dishwashing machine, coffee machine or aircon (we had never used a dishwasher and the aircon wasn't one like we know) There is also no general information of "where is the nearest supermarkets", nearest towns and what things to do in the area, even walking routes are not supplied. When asking at reception I was pointed to the information board, which has a few folders of things to do, but no basic area information. They have a small shop on site, but during our stay this was have empty and mainly stocked with snacks, drinks and toys. We think the information may have been there before covid but was removed during. But we still would have appreciated the basic information of the area. It is my opinion that this place caters mainly for tourist that come by car and have the luxury of taking items from home - or when they buy it they can take it back home. While supplying bedding they don't supply towels (unless you top dollar for them) - we knew this and brough our own towels on the plane, but we didn't consider hand towels or dishtowels which are not supplied. Dishwashing liquid is supplied a tiny amount - the big bottle you buy in the supermarket then goes to waste after using it only 5 days. If you like going on random walks in the woods, this location is great. We did some walks and luckily didn't get lost as it is also not signposted inside the woods.

Basic but nice

Slechte ervaring met Europarcs. Een erg smerig 20- persoonshuisje met veel gebreken, zeer kindonveilig én op erg grote afstand van zwembad/shop. Zwembad was echt afschuwelijk vies. Koude douches en geen toezicht. Wij komen niet terug.

De thermostaat stond niet goed ingesteld, dus het was 8 graden bij binnenkomst.

Het kleine parkwinkeltje stelde niets voor. Daarbij kon er zelfs geen kopje koffie gedronken worden. Vlakbij bevindt zich een Landal Greenpark daar konden wij gelukkig van alles kopen. Het chalet voldeed en was comfortabel. Dat geldt ook voor het zwembad.

Die Unterkunft war abenteuerlich aufgebaut, sicher, aber diese sah nicht so schön von Ihnen aus, sehr enttäuschend, denn auf den Fotos wirkte diese Unterkunft viel attraktiver. Bett - sehr unbequem. Die Häuser stehen alle sehr eng bei einander. Keine Parkplätze an den Häusern sind vorhanden. Bad/WC Tür geht nicht richtig zu, man bekommt alles mit was dort passiert. Das ist unangenehm für den jenigen der sich dort befindet und unangenehm für alle andere auch. Und für das ganze finde ich den Preis wirklich äußerst übertrieben hoch. Sauberkeit war auch abwesend, die Wände wirken sehr heruntergekommen. Und es müffelte nach Feuchtigkeit. Insgesamt war es sehr ungemühtlich.
