The cottage needs some updates. The living room and kitchen are fine.
But the downstairs bedroom could use some attention—the ceiling is dirty. The loft bedroom has a low ceiling and is difficult to access via the staircase, which has no handrail. The cottage is advertised as accommodating 6 people, but we don’t think it’s comfortable for 6 people. The bathroom floor is slippery because the wall tiles were used on the floor. The bathroom fan is very dirty.
There’s no space to store bicycles indoors, which is a real shame. The area next to the cottage is used for storage, and it doesn’t look very inviting. The carport is cluttered, and the patio furniture is dirty and broken.
It would be better to pay a little more attention to the cottage because the location is great. So that’s a shame.Het huisje heeft een upgrade nodig. De woonkamer en keuken zijn goed.
Maar de slaapkamer beneden verdient nog wel wat aandacht ,het plafond is vies. De slaapzolder is laag en moeilijk bereikbaar door de trap zonder leuning. Het huisje wordt aangeboden voor 6 personen ,maar wij vinden dit niet comfortabel voor 6 personen. De badkamer vloer is glad doordat de wandtegels zijn gebruikt voor op de vloer. De ventilator van de badkamer is erg vies.
Er is geen ruimte om fietsen binnen te zetten, dat is erg jammer. De ruimte aan het huisje wordt gebruikt voor opslag en dat ziet er niet aantrekkelijker uit. De carport is rommelig en het tuinmeubilair is vies en kapot.
Iets meer aandacht aan het huisje besteden zou beter zijn want de locatie is prima. Dus dat is zondeThe cottage is in a beautiful location—a great base for hiking or biking. It's close to the village.
De ligging van het huisje is mooi, een prima uitvalsbasis voor het maken van wandelingen of fietstochten. Dicht bij het dorpje.

The wifi was bad. As a result, the TV did not work. The instruction manual for the TV was missing. A handrail on the stairs to the attic would be nice.
De wifi was slecht. Daardoor deed de TV het niet. De gebruiksaanwijzing van de TV ontbrak.
Een leuning aan de trap naar zolder zou fijn zijn.Sufficient
Voldoende

there are always points of improvement in whatever house you rent
er zijn altijd punten van verbetering in welk huis je ook huurt
A beacon of peace and quiet you could call this and from the front door right into the forest and end of the day in front of the fireplace.
Een baken van rust en ruimte zou je dit kunnen noemen en vanuit de voordeur zo het bos in en einde dag voor de haard.
