Reitanlage Dümpenhof

The best riding week for my daughter. The interaction and interpersonal interaction with riding instructors, children, horses and carers couldn't have been better. The days were all very well organized, from getting up to going to sleep there was a good mix of adventure and riding lessons. My daughter was thrilled by the breakfast buffet and two hot meals a day; she was amazed that everything was freshly cooked or baked on site. A team of 28 horse professionals and child carers lovingly looked after all children of every age group. Gladly again!

On Friday I picked up our son from a wonderful week at the Dümpenhof. There is a great program and good riding lessons for the kids. The final event was a nice musical which the kids rehearsed over the course of the week. He raved about the time and there was even a small tear when he said goodbye. It certainly won't be the last time for him at the Dümpenhof.

Hello everyone out there I would like to give more stars. Five is definitely not enough. Our daughter was at the Dümpenhof for the first time this summer holidays and she was thrilled. She had a lot of fun with us without a horse, whether it was riding lessons or having fun (Bubble was very popular with her). Even the older ones, called parents, were taken care of, whether on arrival or departure and in between. The yard is beautifully designed, the tipis ⛺️ are a real eye-catcher. Great values are conveyed, not just a riding stable. We were very satisfied and enthusiastic, the team is incredibly nice and the boss Diddi puts a smile on your face with her manner. We were definitely not there for the last time. A very big thank you.

I rarely give reviews unless it was exceptionally good or exceptionally bad, as everyone has the right to make their own judgment about certain things. About 2 weeks ago we requested a children's birthday party with 14 children and adults including the Dümpianer "food" for an additional 5 adults at 7 euros per person. Overall, we came up with a fairly high amount for this children's birthday party. Just in advance, it has to be said that the employees and the colleague on the phone were friendly and helpful (or so it seemed) and everything was clean, but of course your hands are tied when there are too many children's birthdays taking place at the same time and accordingly not enough staff Too little food is planned, which can be described as an organizational failure. When I looked at the plan map for our stay, I was surprised at how meager the program was. At first I didn't think anything of it, 2 hours of free spins with few scores and options were disappointing and boring. The sweet salon, which had been praised as a highlight, was closed without warning at 4:30 p.m. so that the children could still eat (at 6:30 p.m.) and was always well attended with a long queue, which is why we went with the children's group of 15 -Had to queue for 20 minutes to be able to use the included services such as ice cream, cake and popcorn. Nobody said that this is the case and that this stand also closes an hour after arrival. At 5:30 p.m. the only item on the program was pony riding. The children were able to do several laps and lead each other. Meanwhile, the food distribution began. Of course, you think that there is enough food ready for everyone, especially with such a large group who, for religious reasons, only ordered vegetarian pizzas and then, with an enormous delay and very slowly and slowly, finally received 2 plates of pizza with mostly salami and 2 small plates of pancakes were served. I asked by phone whether Turkish salami could be used as an exception for religious reasons, but this was rejected for regional reasons. After the pizzas were served with over half salami and almost no one could eat them and had to throw them away, I was informed at the end that this special salami could be bought especially for us. Everyone ended up with around 1-1.5 pieces of pizza. Only when we had to ask for more did we get refills every 30 minutes, but there were already no more pancakes. The crispy sticks that were then promised as an alternative later turned out to be ones with ham, which was not an option for us either. Unfortunately, despite the many good reviews, the farm did not leave a good, honest and transparent impression on me. After criticism, I was told that the owner couldn't refuse anyone to celebrate on this last day so as not to leave anyone "sad". The fact that they tried to get more money out on the last day is perhaps more true, because I wouldn't have been sad if it had been canceled given the circumstances there and the chaos that reigned. According to their own statements, the children had fun, which may also be the case when you are with your best friends. However, as a care representative, I had my hand on my heart the whole time not to lose a child in all the hustle and bustle and occasionally there were moments when the children no longer knew what to do because they already had the 2-3 bouncy castles had played and, as I said, there weren't many gaming options. I am very disappointed in everything and feel cheated in this respect, which is why I will not have any use for the 50 euro voucher for 1 riding lesson that was given as compensation. There are too many alternatives in the area that have not lost my trust.

My granddaughter Marie (11 years old) has been on the farm regularly since she was 6 years old. She takes part in the riding holidays at least once a year and is still very enthusiastic after so many years. Since the beginning of 2023 she has been at the farm once a week for riding lessons. We are completely satisfied. Especially during the riding holidays, there is a lot on offer for the children on site and the food is unbeatable!! Thanks to the entire team.

Absolutely insane - with attention to detail, clean, beautiful (horse) farm. My daughter had wonderful Pentecost days with Didi and her super nice team! Everyone gives more than 100% to ensure that children and parents feel comfortable. So emphatic, so understanding. Really good. The perfect organization, from registration to farewell, a coffee on the sun terrace or a really great, clear information booklet with a specially set up emergency number. All of this made the super mega good overall impression even more perfect. Riding holidays that can only be recommended!!! My daughter wasn't here for the last time :)
