Simply enchanting!
Einfach zauberhaft!
A magical little journey back in time to a medieval-style cottage nestled in a mysterious wild garden between two ponds, where Baroque garden furniture invites you to relax and enjoy the moment. Inhabited by all manner of animals and insects, it wouldn’t be surprising to come across goblins and fairies there. Inside, you’re greeted by a wonderfully creaking door leading into the kitchen. It’s reminiscent of a small tavern, and even the modern bathroom is so seamlessly integrated into the overall style that it’s anything but a distraction from the experience. The interior design emphasizes historical roots and exudes a cozy, warm, and slightly mysterious atmosphere. I’m looking forward to my next visit there. Thank you very much.
Eine märchenhafte kleine Zeitreise in ein mittelalterlich wirkendes Häuschen, das eingebunden ist in einem geheimnisvollen Wildgarten zwischen zwei Teichen, der mit barocken Gartenmöbeln zum Rasten und Genießen einlädt. Bewohnt von allerei Tieren und Insekten würde es nicht verwundern, wenn einem dort Kobolde und Feen über den Weg laufen würden. Drinnen wird man von einer herrlich knarrenden Tür in die Küche empfangen. die an eine kleine Taverne erinnert und selbst das moderne Bad, ist in den Gesamtstil so eingebunden, dass es für das Erlebnis alles andere als ein Störfaktor ist. Beim Interieur wurde wert auf historische Ursprünge gelegt und strahlt eine düstere, warme Gemütlichkeit aus. Ich freue mich auf meinen nächsten Besuch dort. Vielen Dank.

The first few days, I was just homesick for my cozy house and garden. Holger and his girlfriend’s hospitality and friendliness were also remarkable.
They invited us out for a drink one evening, and we had a wonderful time sitting by the big pond.
It was also great that they speak English well!
And Anemoon even speaks Dutch fluently!
These are truly people who put their hearts into it and will do everything they can to give you a wonderful vacation experience!
Holger brought us freshly baked waffles for breakfast, and even on the day of our departure, he gave us a few to take home!
We won’t forget this little spot anytime soon and will probably come back again!
It was perfect!Ik had de eerste dagen gewoon heimwee naar het fijne huis en de tuin. Ook de gastvrijheid en vriendelijkheid van Holger en zijn vriendin waren opvallend.
Ze nodigden ons een avondje uit voor een drankje en toen hebben we heerlijk bij de grote vijver gezeten.
Ook fijn dat ze goed Engels spreken!
En Anemoon zelfs vloeiend Nederlands!
Dit zijn echt mensen die het met hun hart doen en er alles voor zullen doen om jouw een super fijne vakantie ervaring te geven!
Holger kwam vers gebakken wafels voor ontbijt brengen en zelfs op de dag van vertrek kregen we er nog een paar mee naar huis!
We zullen dit plekje niet gauw vergeten en zullen waarschijnlijk nog een keer terug komen!
Het was perfect!We really had a wonderful week at Holger’s. When we arrived, there were fresh flowers all over the house, along with coffee, tea, milk, and even chocolate, and beer and water in the fridge. The house is wonderfully cool, which was perfect for the warm weather! They brought over some lovely lounge chairs and created cozy seating spots all over the garden. The garden is a paradise for our dog, Miley!!! She really had the time of her life! I, too, especially enjoyed the peace and quiet and the greenery all around me. I picked the tastiest blackberries ever and found the nature surrounding the house very beautiful as well. Within 5 minutes, you’re on a beautiful trail where you can really enjoy yourself if you love hiking. It’s a bit challenging if you have knee problems, but there are plenty of other options nearby that are more accessible. For example, in Hilden there’s a large forest where dogs are allowed to run off-leash, and right next to it is a fantastic restaurant (The 12 Apostles) with delicious food. Highly recommended!
We hebben echt een geweldige week gehad bij Holger. Bij aankomst overal verse bloemen in het huis, koffie, thee melk en zelfs chocola, en bier en water in de koelkast. Het huis is heerlijk koel wat perfect was met het warme weer! Er werden heerlijke ligstoelen gebracht en overal in de tuin zijn zitplekjes gecreëerd. De tuin is een paradijs voor onze hond Miley!!! Die had echt de tijd van haar leven! Zelf genoot ik ook vooral van de rust en het groen om me heen. Heb de lekkerste bramen ooit geplukt en vond de natuur om het huis heen ook erg mooi. Je loopt binnen 5 minuten op een mooie route en kunt je hart ophalen als je van wandelen houdt . Wel pittig als je last van je knieën hebt, maar in de buurt zijn genoeg andere opties die meer begaanbaar zijn. Zo is er in Hilden een groot bos waar de honden los mogen lopen en zit daarnaast een geweldig restaurant ( de 12 apostelen) met super lekker eten. Echt een aanrader!

We thought it was a nice place, great for cycling, 15 km from Düsseldorf, and easy to get to by bike. Mettmann is nearby via a bike path, where you’ll find restaurants and a great ice cream shop.
Wij vonden het een fijne plek, fietsomgeving, 15 km van Düsseldorf, ook goed te fietsen. Mettmann dichtbij via fietspad, voor restaurantjes en goed ijscafe.
The cottage was situated a bit below street level. The advantage was that it was cooler, peaceful, and quiet. The decor had a cozy, rustic feel. It was a bit dark inside because of all the greenery in the garden, though there were sunny spots and seating areas. The kitchen was unique but functional, with a large natural stone sink and countertop. There was a minor issue with the shower and the stovetop, which was immediately fixed by a professional. The landlord lives on the property and is very helpful.
Huisje was wat lager gelegen dan de weg. Voordeel dat het koeler was, rustig en stil. Inrichting was gezellig landelijk. Beetje donker in huis, omdat er veel groen in de tuin was, wel met zonnige plekken en zitjes. Bijzondere keuken, maar bruikbaar met groot natuurstenen bak en aanrecht. Er was iets met de douche en de kookplaat, dat werd meteen door een vakman verholpen. Verhuurder woont op het terrein en is zeer behulpzaam.
