Just returned from a fortnight on this Dutch site. About two hours from the Hook of Holland Ferry. Michael, the owner speaks perfect English and is only too happy to recommend places for days out, he encourages his guests to explore the local area by bicycle and the well signposted, quiet cycle paths are a joy to use. While I am not a fisherman, I did enjoy walking alongside the river bank where it seems all the fishermen were enjoying bumper catches. The nearest town Ommen, a short cycle ride away is perfect for shopping as it is serviced by four supermarkets and has a weekly market. Cafes and restaurants are good with a wide variety of tastes catered for. Amsterdam is around an hour away by car or train, parking at railway stations is free! Zwolle is worth a visit with market day on a Friday, try to park a little out of town and if you have a cycle rack take your bicycles, or if really adventurous cycle from the site, it’s not too far and there are plenty of coffee and cake stops on the way! I am sure that this will not be our last caravan trip to this area of Holland as there is so much to see and do in and I look forward to arriving back to this site to enjoy my next piece of Apple tart with cream and coffee.
