Cabañas en los árboles Monte Holiday Ecoturismo — Hotel in Gargantilla del Lozoya y Pinilla de Buitrago

Having stayed at this site previously approx 6 times we once again booked for our outbound and return trips to the south of Spain traveling through France.||||We booked one of their premium grassed pitches as usual,which is advertised with a higher 10 amp electricity supply and once again looked forward to our stay ,however since last year we have bought a brand new van and this one has amongst other extras two air con units. We fully understand in France and Spain 10 amp will only run one unit which is fine and usually sufficient unless it is exceptionally hot,however on our outward journey having stayed at 5 previous sites en route in France the fuse kept annoyingly tripping with only one air con unit on with soft start motors drawing a maximum 5.7 amps,along with the fridge and TV,10 amp therefore should be sufficient,but it wasn't and when i reported this to the office I was told I should just keep flicking the fuse back up !!!! I am aware of how to do this however this doesn't solve the problem.||||It was getting late and on this occasion was becoming much cooler and so we opened the windows ,laughed it off and eventually went to bed to move on again the next day.||||Having stayed 3 weeks in southern Spain ( 10 amp electricity once again ) we had no further issues until our return journey and once again stayed at this site,in fact this time had pitch no 2 next to the pitch we had last time,and once again the fuse kept tripping ,except this time it was 32 degrees so air con would have been most useful.||||I reported to the office and explained that on no other occasions did I have this issue at any site in Spain or in France,once again they insisted it was the fault of my new van even when I assured them we had no problems elsewhere ,so we sweltered all night which annoyed me as we had paid in excess of 42 Euro's for one night on a pitch that was advertised as a premium with the extra charge for the higher amperage !||||The attitude of the office was couldn't care less,its my vans fault,tell the caravan club was the reply ! very strange as they don't own the site,they inspect was the answer,I questioned if they actually tested the amperage as part of the inspection to which I was told NO they don't !||||Perhaps there lies the problem,I will write to the caravan club as I am a member and suggest they do test the output rather than accept what is supposed to be the case.||||The moral of this story is ,ok if you don't have air con,but as many new vans do have this facility ,those that do I'm afraid will experience what I experienced and in very hot temperatures it is not ideal and certainly not after paying a premium price so I will certainly be looking elsewhere in future and have in fact found a suitable alternative site for our next journey.||||As more and more new vans have what we consider the norm in our cars ,it will test some of these sites,however to charge for something that clearly is not available (10 amp ) is not on at 42 Euros per night,shame but we...

We spent two nights in a tree house in Mid-August. ||||The tree house corresponds to the description, although the double bed did not look like the 120 cm they say it measures; only good for a tiny couple. The terrace was lovely with amazing views and cool air in the evening but our stay was spoilt by tens and tens of wasps that were buzzing around us as soon as we sat down and freaked the kids out. The inside of the tree-house was boiling hot, there is only a free-standing fan but that wasn't enough to cool the room down and we had to sleep with the door open.||As per the camping itself, the toilet/wash blocks were always very clean and modern but quite far from the tree house, meaning a long trek every time you need a shower...and a need to drive if you want to do some washing up.||Facilities for kids were a bit disappointing too; the swimming pool was amazing but I had to ask the life-guard to please clean it in the morning as it was full of floating dead insects and leaves and he did so reluctantly and superficially. The kids' club is not very organised, with the very kind girl who runs the afternoon activities playing cards in the grass with a few kids and the other ones left alone to play a game that she hardly explained, let alone supervised. The kids' crafty hut is quite messy and uninviting, although the guy who runs it is very kind. ||Greatest disappointment was that you need to book if you want to do the tree-surfing activities and they only run on certain days and with a minimum number of children.||The play area has tatty, very simple attractions, you can find much better in a city centre or beach mini play-area.||||So yes, great location, good spaces, amazing views but for the price you pay you should get more than...

Cabaña Big Foot: Estuvimos en agosto pasando un par de días atraídos por la información que aparecía en la web como “casas en los árboles, un sueño hecho realidad para los niños”. Cogimos la que tenía vistas panorámicas y cuando llegamos pues la verdad que tanto los niños como nosotros nos quedamos bastante decepcionados ya que no era lo que nos habíamos imaginado. Más que una casa en un árbol, es una casa ENTRE árboles elevada unos 3-4 metros en una plataforma. Es cierto que la terraza tiene unas vistas espectaculares donde puedes disfrutar del amanecer (no del atardecer como reseña en la web). También nos imaginábamos, por experiencias similares de este tipo de alojamientos, que la cabaña estaría retirada de las parcelas y del resto de las casas, pero no, por lo que tenias vecinos alrededor de la cabaña con sus respectivas viviendas. La tranquilidad absoluta y la intimidad por tanto no existía. El primer día cenando en la terraza nos encontramos con dos problemas: primero que en la terraza no hay espacio suficiente para colocar las 4 sillas de manera cómoda. Lo que hay son sillas-hamacas (bastante confortables) pero grandes para poder acoplarlas en la mesa y poder estar los 4 juntos. El otro problema fueron las avispas, es cierto, que estás en el campo y entra dentro de la naturaleza, pero con niños rodeados de avispas no era la mejor opción para cenar y desayunar fuera . Por la noche pasó algo similar con las hormigas, de repente empezaron a salir en el baño muchísimas hormigas. En este sentido y como algo positivo decir que en uno de los cajones hay varios insecticidas especializados en cada uno de los insectos. Lo que es el interior de la casa hay varios fallos desde nuestro punto de vista. Es cierto que hay que optimizar bien el espacio porque tiene que caber todo lo básico, pero, por ejemplo, la nevera está muy pegada a la cama y abrirla resulta incómodo. En este caso sugerimos que cambieis la apertura de la puerta para que se abra al revés y se pueda acceder a lo que hay en la nevera de manera natural. Otro problema del espacio es que la litera de la cama de arriba está tan pegada al techo que a la mínima que los niños se intentaban levantar, se golpeaban con el techo. En este sentido consideramos que tanto por el espacio de las sillas en la terraza como el espacio en la litera de arriba, la casa para 3 personas está bien, pero no para 4. Siempre te acabas apañando, pero pagar 500€ por dos noches para andar "apañandote..." no es que sea caro, es que de verdad, no lo vale. Decir también que la casa se mueve un poco cuando alguien se desplaza andando por ella. Como cosas positivas, como dije anteriormente, las vistas son preciosas, incluso por la noche tuvimos posibilidad de presenciar una noche despejada para ver las estrellas. El personal del camping es muy amable, la piscina esta genial y en el restaurante comimos muy bien los dos días. Hay actividades para hacer con los niños (como tiro con arco, escalada, tirolinas…etc) que se pagan individualmente (circuito de cuerdas 18€ por niño, escalada 15€, tiro con arco 12€) los niños lo disfrutaron mucho. Dichas actividades creo que lo lleva una empresa externa. La reseña, en líneas generales, es negativa y el motivo principal es el precio en relación a lo que se ofrece. Por 500€ por dos noches (sin incluir nada) hay alternativas mucho mejores y más económicas. En el mismo camping vimos que hay otro tipo de casas que están mas retiradas de las parcelas y además son más económicas, quizás hubiesen sido una...
