Comfortable cottage with very complete kitchen equipment. Friendly host & hostess. We had a great time in this cottage with our family with baby and toddler. We had a week with lots of snow, so we did not do much but enjoyed the snowy landscapes.
Comfortabel huisje met zeer complete keukenuitrusting. Vriendelijke gastheer-&vrouw. We hebben het met ons gezin met baby en peuter heel fijn gehad in dit huisje. We troffen een week met enorm veel sneeuw, dus niet zoveel ondernomen maar wel genoten van de sneeuwlandschappen.
The area is wonderfully quiet. There are some other cottages on the property (don't know if they are rented out). There is a wellness square where you can hear some noise if there are others, this was the case for us one evening. Furthermore, you sometimes hear the donkeys for a while, also fun for the kids. At a small distance from the cottages at the end of a meadow is a playground with slide and a bench where you can look out over the highlanders and donkeys. Views over the meadows (in our case with lots of snow!). We found it a very relaxing and nice environment.
De omgeving is heerlijk rustig. Op het terrein staan nog wat andere huisjes (weet niet of die verhuurd worden). Er is een wellnesspleintje waar je wel wat rumoer van kunt horen als er anderen zijn, dit was bij ons een avondje het geval. Verder hoor je soms de ezeltjes even, ook leuk voor de kindjes. Op een klein afstandje van de huisjes aan het einde van een weiland is een speeltuintje met glijbaan en een bankje waar je over de hooglanders en ezels uit kunt kijken. Uitzicht over de weilanden (in ons geval met heel veel sneeuw!). We vonden het een hele rustgevende en fijne omgeving.
