I have a question about:

About the accommodation

Are pets allowed in the accommodation?
Nice that you want to bring your pet! Of course this is possible. So you can enjoy a holiday together. Good to know:
- Four-legged friends are welcome at the reception and the Grand Cafe in the Havezate.
- Let them run free on the special dog playing field or let them out on the dog walking strips. These are indicated on our resort map. 
- Dogs are allowed to swim in the small ponds. Dogs are not welcome in the recreational lake or on the beach.
- Make sure your dog is leashed throughout the resort. Do not let it loose in the meadow near car parks P2 and P3. This will scare the (pregnant) sheep.
Was this answer helpful for you? Can I also spend a day swimming at Hof van Saksen?
Yes, you can also just come and enjoy a day at the resort. Go swimming in the swimming paradise and race down the exciting slides. Or splash around in the musical paddling pool. 

Always contact us in advance on +31(0)592 24 59 50 and ask about availability. At weekends and during school holidays in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium, the facilities and activities are only open to resort guests.
All about a day at Hof van Saksen Was this answer helpful for you? I would like to receive visitors during my stay. Is this possible?
Cosy! If your visitors are not staying over, you don't need to pass anything on to us. Will they stay over? They can. In that case, you pay bed linen and tourist tax per person. Go to your account and add your travel companion to 'my travel group'. There, you can choose to add an extra travel companion for the entire stay or for part of the stay. Select the arrival date and departure date of your guest and add them to your travel companion.
Was this answer helpful for you? Can I separate my waste during my stay?
The less household waste, the better it is for nature. At Hof van Saksen you will find containers for glass, paper and household waste. We deliberately do not separate household waste. This is separated at the waste management plant, where valuable materials are retained and recycled instead of incinerated. By not separating waste ourselves, we get better results. The collection stations for glass, paper and household waste are spread around the resort. Look on the map for the one nearest you.
Was this answer helpful for you? Can we park at the accommodation?
We are a car-low resort, which means that cars are only allowed on the resort during arrival and departure days. In this way, the atmosphere and authentic character of our Saxon farms is fully appreciated! You can unload and load your belongings by car. You can then park your car in the central car parks P1, P2 or P3. Are you disabled and do you have an explanation for this? Please let reception know. You can then use the disabled parking spaces. When staying in accommodation type 4B, 6B1 or 6B2, you can park at the accommodation.
Was this answer helpful for you? There is a malfunction in my accommodation
How inconvenient that you experienced inconveniences during your stay. If you notice a disturbance, please notify reception. We will then work to resolve the problem as soon as possible. Is the reception area closed? In an emergency, dial +31 (0)592 24 59 50 to reach a member of staff.
Was this answer helpful for you? Can I barbecue at my accommodation?
You are allowed to barbecue during your stay. When doing so, please keep in mind that you are not standing under the thatched roof, but rather a bit up the terrace. This is to reduce the risk of a fire. During the summer, there can sometimes be a prolonged drought at the resort. In this case, barbecuing is not allowed. In doubt? Then ask at reception on arrival at the resort.

Please note that the coals should not be thrown in the underground container afterwards, unless they are completely burnt out and smouldered. So leave the barbecue for a long time before cleaning this up.

Was this answer helpful for you? Is there a babysitting service for children?
Yes, at the resort we have our own childcare location. This is run by the professional babysitting service of Kinderdagverblijf Bij Ot & Sien. This is a small-scale and flexible childcare centre in Grolloo. The advantage is that the children simply stay at Hof van Saksen. So you can have a nice dinner out together or relax in the Spa & Wellness. It is also possible to book a babysitter in the evening, in which case the babysitter will come to your accommodation.
