    Renovate the cottage and install windows that open
    Install fans to cool the house in hot weather... finish the garden for the dogs... pull weeds

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The garden was not maintained... overgrown with weeds... no fans to cool off in hot weather... not a single window could be opened... I was attacked by the owner's dogs... the owner just let the dogs do whatever they wanted... the dogs also came into the cottage...Musty smell in the cottage... little privacy... wouldn’t stay here again... friendly people, though... but the house and garden really need some work...We left early... couldn’t stand the smell and the heat... the only thing we could do was open the door a little for some fresh air... and even then, the dogs kept bothering us... the garden is a construction site full of building materials
    Response from the host: We’re sorry you had this experience. It doesn’t reflect the level of service we aim to provide our guests.
    The vacation home has 2 doors and 3 windows with screens that you can open, allowing for adequate ventilation. Unfortunately, it was extremely hot this weekend, so it’s better to keep everything closed. The property is completely fenced in to keep the dogs inside the gates.

    The cottage didn’t get much natural light. That’s nice in the summer heat, but I personally found it dark—though I am a fan of natural light. And outside the cottage, there were seating areas everywhere that you were welcome to use.
    I don’t have a clear idea of whether there were opportunities for horseback riding, boating, or fishing, so I just guessed when answering question three about the suitability for these activities. I have no idea if my answers are correct.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    It was a very idyllic setting: a small hamlet with a few farms. Close to various nature reserves, such as the Leenderbos, the Malpie, the Groote (Stille) Heide, and the Brugven. Many areas were within walking distance. A hiking and biking map of the area was available in the cottage. There was plenty of nature around the cottage: there was a nest of little owls, a barn owl was nesting in the barn, and a kestrel was nesting in the meadow in front of the cottage.
    The cottage was located on a very quiet road. Hardly any traffic. If you go cycling, you’ll soon find yourself on sandy paths. On the cottage grounds, there were two donkeys and two very sweet dogs. The sheep were grazing in a nearby field.
    A very hospitable host and hostess. They had a lot to share about the area and nature. And they were always very interested in our experiences.
    The cottage is located near Valkenswaard, so there are plenty of places to eat and drink. Also within biking distance: charming villages with cozy outdoor seating areas.
