Flecke auf dem Sofa, sehr staubig Wandschränke etc. Wenn ich 1400 Euro für drei Nächte zahlen, erwartete ich etwas mehr in einem „Start-Paket“ (T-Tücher / Geschirrtücher zum Beispiel). Die Bettwäsche wird ohne Handtücher - nirgendwo zu Center Parcs ist und selbst das ist nicht der Fall ist). Manchmal eher ein Luxus-Hostel-Feeling. Wäschepakete in 2 Fällen auch noch nass. TV nicht (am Tag vergangen 2) arbeiten, auch ein Duschablauf vollständig verstopft war und wir sind voll von ihr in einem schmutzigen Behälter Duschen. (Trotz Weitergabe war dies am 3\. Tag noch der Fall). mit Hilfe Boot war top! Umgebung / Park ist super. ##### Fiona W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Silvia L.

Il Kraaiennest ci ha offerto un'esperienza di alloggio unica con il suo design elevato e le splendide viste sul lago Het Bovenwijde, Il nostro gruppo di 12 aveva ampio spazio per rilassarsi e godere dei pasti insieme nella cucina accogliente, La barca elettrica è stata un fantastico bonus, permettendoci di esplorare le bellissime vie d'acqua, Abbiamo apprezzato la privacy che offriva, ma solo un avviso per chi ha problemi di mobilità: potrebbe non essere l'accesso più facile, In generale, un soggiorno memorabile!
