That's perfectly fine!
Helemaal prima!
We had a wonderfully peaceful weekend getaway with our little daughter and our Ridgeback, who were both able to play freely in the fenced-in garden. The view from the garden of Scottish Highland cattle and donkeys was really lovely! And there are several beautiful hiking areas within a short drive. Our daughter also really enjoyed the Heuveltjes forest swimming area!
Wij hebben een heerlijk rustig weekendje weg gehad met ons dochtertje en Ridgeback hond die beide lekker in de omheinde tuin konden spelen. Erg leuk uitzicht vanuit de tuin op Schotse Hooglanders en ezeltjes! En er zijn meerdere mooie wandelgebieden op niet al te ver rijden. Ook het heuveltjes bosbad viel goed in de smaak bij ons dochtertje!

The cottage, or chalet, is fully equipped and has really fast Wi-Fi, so it’s perfect for people who value that. There are three bedrooms, and personally, I think there could have been one less to create a bit more space, but that’s more of a personal preference
Everything works as it should, and there’s also a TV with more than enough channels for the channel-surfers among us. The host is an extremely friendly gentleman who just stopped by to say hello. Everything else is nearby, and if you love beautiful forests, open fields, and water in the area, this place is highly recommended.
The garden is wonderfully spacious, by the way, and the dog can run around freely there. Just make sure to close the gate properly, because there’s an electric fence about 1.5 meters from that gate, and dogs and electric fences don’t mix well.
The porch is perfect if you want to grab a cup of coffee outside in the morning, and there’s both a drip coffee maker and a Nespresso machine—so great!
All in all, it’s great!Het huisje, chalet, is van alle gemakken voorzien en heeft echt super snelle wifi dus voor mensen die dat belangrijk vinden helemaal top. Er zijn 3 slaapkamers en wat mij betreft had dat er 1 minder mogen zijn waardoor er wellicht iets meer ruimte ontstaat maar dat is meer een persoonlijke keuze
Alles werkt naar behoren en er is ook een tv met meer dan genoeg kanalen voor de zappers onder ons. De gastheer is een uitermate vriendelijke heer die enkel even gedag kwam zeggen. Alles is er verder in de buurt en als je houdt van mooie bossen, landerijen en water in de omgeving dan is het een aanrader.
De tuin is overigens heerlijk ruim en de hond kan er uitstekend loslopen. Let wel even op dat je het hek goed afsluit want er zit schrikdraad ongeveer 1,5 meter van dat hek en hond + schrikdraad is geen goede combi.
De veranda is heerlijk als je 's ochtends buiten je kopje koffie wilt pakken en er is zowel een filter koffie apparaat als een Nespresso apparaat dus top!
Prima dus!The cottage is located on a farm property and is completely surrounded by a tall hedge, ensuring complete privacy. From the front, you look out onto a meadow with Scottish Highland cattle and a few donkeys. The entire area is very peaceful, and you’re close to beautiful nature where you can enjoy wonderful walks. It’s truly a wonderful place to relax and unwind.
Het huisje staat op het erf van een boerderij en is volledig omringt met een hoge heg waardoor je volledige privacy hebt. Aan de voorkant kijk je uit op een stuk weiland met ook Schotse hooglanders en wat ezels. De hele omgeving is erg rustig en je zit vlakbij hele mooie natuur waar het heerlijk wandelen is. Echt een heerlijke plek om lekker tot rust te komen.
