Booked it—the most beautiful little cottage we’ve ever stayed in. Clean and decorated with exceptional taste. The hosts have made it a place you’ll never want to leave. The surroundings are also very beautiful. Complete privacy. We even heard a tawny owl and many other birds.
Boeken, mooiste huisje wat we tot nu toe geboekt hebben. Schoon, bijzonder smaakvol ingericht. De verhuurders hebben ervoor gezorgd dat je nooit meer weg wil. Omgeving ook erg mooi. Complete privacy. Bosuil ook nog gehoord en vele andere vogels

What a unique and charming house! It’s spacious, comfortable, and decorated with great care. The cozy living room, fireplace, sunroom, and large dining table make it a wonderful place to spend time together. The kitchen is also exceptionally well-equipped, and it seems like every detail has been thought of. The books, games, record player, and home theater add extra character to the house. The spacious garden rounds out the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back again.
Wat een bijzonder en sfeervol huis! Het is ruim, comfortabel en met veel zorg ingericht. De gezellige woonkamer, open haard, serre en grote eettafel maken het een heerlijke plek om samen tijd door te brengen. Ook de keuken is uitstekend uitgerust en aan alles lijkt te zijn gedacht. De boeken, spellen, platenspeler en thuisbioscoop geven het huis extra karakter. De ruime tuin maakt het geheel compleet. Wij hebben hier met ontzettend veel plezier verbleven en komen graag nog eens terug.
The location is truly beautiful. The house is in a wonderfully peaceful setting, surrounded by nature, with plenty of space and privacy. From the house, you have a view of the natural surroundings, and you can walk right into the woods. It’s an ideal place to completely unwind and escape the hustle and bustle for a while.
De ligging is werkelijk prachtig. Het huis staat heerlijk rustig, midden in het groen, met veel ruimte en privacy. Vanuit het huis kijk je uit op de natuur en je loopt zo het bos in. Het is een ideale plek om volledig tot rust te komen en even te ontsnappen aan de drukte.

Great! See the note for question 1
Top! Zie opmerking bij vraag 1
The nicest nature house I’ve ever stayed in. The forest, the birds, the house full of knickknacks, cozy nooks, the decor, toys for the kids—everything in and around the house you need to cook up a storm in the (green! <3) kitchen, and plenty of supplies to get creative. A wonderful, unique place to slow down and enjoy the here and now. We’ll definitely be back!
Het fijnste natuurhuisje waar ik ooit ben geweest. Het bos, de vogels, het huis vol met snuisterijen, leuke hoekjes, de inrichting, speelgoed voor de kinderen, alles in en om huis om uitgebreid te koken in de (groene! <3) keuken, van alles om creatief aan de slag te gaan. Een heerlijke, unieke plek om te vertragen en te genieten van het hier en nu. Wij komen zeker nog een keer terug!
