Our first experience of Zeeland
Read the instructions on parking in the BHVK envelope BEFORE you set off from their office, otherwise you might well end up in the wrong car park. Ignore the signs at the car park entrances. This will save you a lot of angst. There are luggage trolleys available in a shelter nearby. The back door key would only turn in the lock if the door was pulled hard towards you.
The house was lovely, with all mod cons, though a little cramped upstairs for two adults and two children. The setting in an old orchard was lovely too, very quiet when we visited in June, and warm enough to sit outside on the patio. It was handy for a children’s play area and only a short walk from the unheated swimming pool and tennis court etc.
The surrounding area was stunning, with beautiful scenery and beaches, fantastic footpaths and cycle paths that we can only dream of in the UK.
The site wardens at No 5 spoke good English and were very helpful. You can hire bikes there at about half the going rate that is charged in Burgh-Haamstede itself (No 5 is also the source of the wristbands required for the swimming pool).
There was a comprehensive instruction manual for the domestic appliances in the house, in Dutch and German only, so we resorted to using Google Lens to translate into English.
Altogether a memorable and enjoyable week.
