During your stay

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As the main booker you will receive a digital key giving you access to all accommodation within the booking. You can share this key. If you want to share the key with your travel group, you share it per accommodation per travel companion. The travel companion will only receive the key to the accommodation for which it is shared.

Download the Hof van Saksen App and log in with your account. In addition, switch on your bluetooth, location and 4G/5G internet. You can also use wifi. We do recommend a 4G/5G internet connection in order to make optimal use of the key.

Once you have made your booking, the digital key will be visible in the app. You can use the key as of 4 p.m. on your arrival day once you have completed all the steps. We will indicate which steps are still required (for example payment, sending us the names of your travelling companions). Are you staying in a Newborn or Children's Farm? Then you will have access to the accommodation from 3pm.

You will find the key in the app once you have followed the steps below in the Hof van Saksen App or in your account on our website:

• Pay any outstanding amount.
• Inform us of your travelling companions;
• Let us know what time you expect to arrive.
• Complete your emergency contact information

Did you complete all the steps but are still unable to see the key in the app? Please contact the reception of the resort. We will be happy to assist you.
Good to know: the key is only visible in the app and not on the website. This is from about 7 days before arrival. Around 4, the key turns green, and is ready to use. Want to know more? See here for more information about the digital key.

Yes, this is possible. However, we recommend using 4G/5G for the best connection.

No worries. Just go to the reception of the resort, our staff will be happy to help you.

This is annoying. Try the following:

• Check that you have downloaded the latest version of the Hof van Saksen App.
• Is this not the case? Then make sure you update the app to the latest version and log in again. 
• Do you have the latest version? Then log out, close the app and then log in again.
• Do the above steps not work? Delete the app and download the app all over again.
• Is the digital key still not working? Try it on another device and log in with your credentials.

If this doesn't help either, please refer to the reception. Is the reception closed? If so, contact the emergency number provided in the app.

No problem, we offer free wifi at our resort. This way you can still use the digital key!

Subject to availability, you can extend your stay. You can do this during your stay at Reception or before your arrival by calling the Contact Centre at +31-(0)70 300 35 06 (normal call charges).

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.

We reserve the bike until 10:30 a.m. on collection day. The pick-up time is displayed in the app. Didn't you pick up your reserved bikes before then? Then we will make the bikes available again to rent to other guests.
