Reviewed By RHAHJ - Nijmegen, The Netherlands
This is a nice museum around operation Market Garden. There's a Bailey bridge, a Spitfire, a Dakota (I think), a V1, artillery, and other large vehicles. There's a movie showing the para droppings and displays with different uniforms of the different police units under German occupation. In the forest area around the museum, there are monuments to fallen Allied soldiers, Joe Mann and Robert Cole.

Net open, Gouden Woud in Liempde. Een nieuw kinderspel paradijs, zowel binnen als buiten. Geen ballenbak en plastic speeltoestellen in alle kleuren, maar een grote zandbad, met water en houten klimtoestellen. Lekker met zand en water kliederen. Welk kind wil dit niet ! Bovendien kunnen de kinderen "goud" zoeken in tussen het zand. Uren kunnen ze er mee bezig zijn.
Voor de ouders is er een redelijk uitgebreide kaart, waarbij gebakken wordt op een indoor houtskool barbecue. Een mooi terras buiten maakt het compleet. Ook zonder kinderen is het hier prima verblijven.

Booked the basic tour which cost around €11. We were given a brief introduction as to how Bottle Distillery was born. The distillery was set-up and is run by a lovely couple who have a passion for what they do. Mark and his wife have created a unique attraction that is part-distillery and part-bar. The 'still' is the most beautiful piece of aparatus and is captivating to watch as you get a talk on how it all works. Really amazing piece of kit! But the proof is in the pudding, which brings us to the product which comes out of the still. They produce a selection of gorgeous Gins (the Winter Gin being my personal favorite. So much flavor!). The Beer Brandy and liqueurs are amazing. The tour included a tasting of any 3 from their product line, which we felt was generous. The tour stated 30 minutes, but we spent a total of 90 minutes with a lovely Gin & Tonic beforehand and sipping the samples after the tour. Wonderful establishment and I'd highly recommend. Easily the best €11 I've ever spent. Looking forward to seeing Orion Gin in the UK in a few years ;) Keep up the good work guys!

I visited sint Oederode in August. Nice houses around and some shops nearby. Very nice park nearby for a walk around the water. Animals for the kids in the centre.

The zoo was absolutely fantastic. Such close encounters with the animals. We had a trailer for the kids to pull them around, as the park is very big. But always something to see with every step you take. We also had food here too which was also good. Very clean restaurant. A lot of work going on improving the park. Very good day out.

If you look for a day of relaxation in a natural atmosphere close to Eindhoven, Thermae Son is still the place to be. It has all facilities you can think of under one roof. Thermae of course like all sportschool of sauna's, with special herbal treatments. Beauty salon, hairdresser, massage facilities, fitness club, swimmingpool, a brasserie, childcare. We went to the Thermae. Arrived at two in the afternoon and left around Nine in the evening, totally relaxed. There is a nice garden with high trees, like in a forest. The sun was shining. The herbal sauna was a sensation.
Staff was very friendly, the food < we had a salade> very tasty!
We surely will return.
8. Best Zoo

Reviewed By Ronald_jelle - The Hague, The Netherlands
This Zoo is small, but with quite a variety of animals and it is very quiet. On the day that I was there I shared the Park with only 10 others!.
The animals look in good health, even though the Jaguar looks a bit lonely. Where all other of the big cat's have a partner, the Jaguar is alone in the cage and seems less lively than the cougars/pumas and the leopards. The Zoo is well maintained, but the spaces/ cages are a bit small, it should expand further or limit the number of different animals. Still if I compare this Zoo, with it's bit older way of housing animals to other Zoo's in the world than the animals seem overall lively and in better conditions.
For me it was just nice to walk around as if it was my own private Zoo. I could talk to the animals (I know it sounds a bit silly) and the responded.
In other words it has pro's and con's... I would still tell people to come and visit it. A nice collection of animals and very quiet!.

The 'Gasthuishoeve'is a proud representative of the region "Het Groene Woud" ('the green forest'). We like to invite everyone to experience the local grown plants and trees, crafts, animals or historic. Walk through the Mediterranean garden as inspiration for your conservatory or Terrace. In the lunchroom is a varied menu where the use of local produce is important. Meanwhile children can enjoy themselves in one of our Playgrounds, inside or out.
Reviewed By Catharina50 - Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Wij bezochten na afspraak met een grote zakelijke groep de Gasthuishoeve voor een diner in buffet vorm. Uitstekend georganiseerd met ruim voldoende, vriendelijk personeel en een bijzonder goed buffet. Dat bestond uit allerlei streekproducten: koud, warm en desserts. Zeer overvloedig, gewoon veel te veel. Erg goede kwaliteit. Omdat wij 's avonds kwamen was de zeer grote ruimte wel erg donker, waarschijnlijk aantrekkelijker overdag gedurende reguliere openingstijden. Hoewel het pad tussen parking en ingang verlicht was, waren parking zelf en ingang te weinig verlicht. Zeer geschikt voor grote groepen (na afspraak).

As we were leaving the friendly, quiet and quaint town of Liempde after a great stay at a local farm, we stopped at the Traa Klompenfabriek - a wooden shoe factory run by the Traa family for over 3 generations. The owner was very gracious and she showed us how the poplar wooden shoes are made and then we were able to browse their store, buying a lovely pair of wooden shoes for half of what you'd pay elsewhere (around 18 Euro). And the experience to boot, well that's priceless!
