TopParken - Landgoed de Scheleberg — Hotel in Ede

Key points: child friendly, pet friendly, peaceful, clean and well-maintained, nice facilities, easy access to the woods, conveniently located from Ede and Lunteren

We own a small house at this park (only for a few months now), and I'm super happy with our choice. The park is so well maintained and has a really nice vibe. The playground is brand new and made of natural-looking wooden elements, so it blends well with the surroundings. There's a caged football field and tennis court as well. My personal favourite is the heated outdoor pool and baby pool. The grassy area and seating around the pool are spacious and classy. I haven't been in the summer, so I can't say if it gets wild and crowded in the warmer months.

We appreciated the little snackbar. It's handy, and the people working there are friendly and helpful. Hopefully they come with some vegetarian options in the near future. I'd love that!

The proper restaurant is pretty good, with cozy indoor and outdoor seating options. I've eaten there twice and had drinks there once. The first time was a real disappointment. I got burrata and roasted seasonal vegetables. The burrata was like a salad with salsa on it (no basil or balsamic or tomatoes to be found), and the vegetables were a plate of rice and mashed potatoes with mushrooms on top. Sorry, but those aren't vegetables. The next time I split the cote de beuf and ceasar salad with my aunt, and we had some cocktails with it, and we were super happy! The steak was absolutely delicious. The staff is also super friendly. Really a gezellig gang there. Happy hour on Friday is also something I'd recommend.

I've been to several other vacation parks in NL before, and this one is the most well put together one I've seen. It has a peaceful ambiance, and despite the houses being quite packed together, it still allows nature to shine through.

I'm really looking forward to the summer months, when the kids club is open and all the dogs are...

The park itself is nice. The bungalow we were staying with was fine, although the mattress and pillows were very uncomfortable. Nice and friendly staff assisted us. BUT! We have rented two bikes from a lady who provides bikes for rent right next to the reception. One of the bikes was a cargo bike, where we have put our child. The lady informed me that the bike would shake a bit, but it's normal. We were riding bikes on the territory of the park, and all over a sudden, the cargo bike just went out of control, and the kid nearly fell and got so scared. When we checked the problem, it was actually a screw missing, so the cargo just got unattached from the front wheel. Luckily, it didn't happen in a more dangerous environment. So, when we went to the reception, the staff called the lady who was responsible for the bikes rent. Without any apology, she just put the screw and wanted us to continue using the bike. I would never put the child into such a bike again. However, she was insisting on getting another one instead. I didn't trust the safety of her bikes anymore. We used the bikes for just a few hours and returned. Instead of reimbursing the amount we paid and apologizing, she kept insisting on getting us another bike. So, after seeing that we didn't change our minds, she agreed to reimburse just 15 € out of 32,5€. Trust me, it's not about the money. It's the completely wrong attitude of the lady. It was her responsibility to check the safety of her bikes, especially the bikes where small kids were carried. But she didn't even take the situation seriously. P.s. At the no reimbursement...

Arrived, check-in was busy but only took about 20 minutes with Corona rules.|Directions and info was clear. Found the spot and parked the car next to accomodation +1. We are not the pickiest of families but the hob above the cooker was really quite dusty and should have been cleaned. Couch was in an awful state but it was replaced after about two days without us saying anything so I guess they new. After 3 days the temperature soared and it was 39.5 inside. So as there was an airco but no control I asked at reception. 5 euros per day and as it was the middle of the week already no need to pay the deposit. First day it hardly helped but did help keep it cooler on the following days. We were in a deluxe cabin which basically means more space outside and was next to the large pond with fountains so quite nice. Water was quite dirty though..||Some nice facilities bearing in mind Corona restrictions, staff I came in contact with were friendly and helpful.||Couple of negatives were the cleaning and the fact you had to book for swimming but new arrivals were given privilege over the ones already here. So most of the convenient slots were already filled.|Seems more aimed at families with younger kids than the 3 teenagers we had.||Probably won't come back but not a reflection on...
