DROOMGAERD B.V. General terms and conditions 2014

Dear visitor, The Droomgaerd is an old reconstructed farmhouse. This creates a nice environment but also implies that visitors and guests must be aware of a few issues. In the premises there are several (small) staircases and in the barns the old floors are still there with various small height difference whereby it is easy to fall. Some carefulness is required! We stimulate the natural environment this results in an authentic view but also implies a lot of moss . Due to this it can be very slippery on a number of places. Specifically the wooden bielzen endure this. The area is surrounded by ditches with a natural, and due to this not so easily recognisable, difference between land and water. Children without (or recently obtained) swimming license should not walk around without parental supervision. We ask parents or supervisors to be well aware of this. The area is situated next to the West Vlisterdijk with on the other side of the road a piece of land including the landing stage for the canoe and rowing boat. During summer days you can also swim in the Vlist. The crossing, walking or biking of the road requires attention. There is traffic and some of the drivers will exceed the allowed maximum speed. Ensure that you take care of your children but also pay attention yourself. For the small visitors we have some playing tools like swings, sand box, and trampoline. Should your children be using the play tools keep an eye on them. The use of the trampoline by more than one person is a risk. We have several animals that are well used to people. Animals remain however animals and have their good and bad days. Unexpected moves, jumps, pushes or bites of an animal should be avoided. We specifically ask you to not leave young children alone with the animals. We take ultimate care for the food and the drinks we serve and aim to the highest possible quality. However we do not take the responsibility for the consequences of using our food and drinks. We are more than prepared to take into consideration various allergies or diets but our kitchen is not allergy proof. We consider, that if we took the required precautions, an event is a general risk that should be covered by the visitor/guest or his/her insurance. Within the farmhouse the general rules regarding attention are applicable with exception of the Opkamer. This is a very old room with a low ceiling. Please pay attention to the height of the ceiling and the small not so easy staircase leading to this authentic room! Move carefully and do not hurry. That is in the relaxing environment of our farmhouse also not necessary. With these precautions your stay will be a great success!
