    Few other residents in the area during this time. Absolute silence for much of the day.

    Nothing to comment on. Clear instructions, contents more than complete and everything of good quality and clean.

    Our stay at the Owl exceeded our expectations. Talje is a wonderful host with an eye for detail who is easy to reach - even at a distance. The cottage was spotless and really equipped with all the comforts (and more). Of course, the snow added to the charm of our stay. On the couch we enjoyed the fireplace and watched the garden turn into winter wonderland. A disadvantage of the weather conditions was the negative travel advice. To this the host responded with a big favor: we were allowed to use the cottage for an extra night at no cost. To me this shows that they are passionate about what they do and really care that guests leave with a smile. This is no longer obvious in this day and age and is therefore extra appreciated. Thanks again and we would love to come back when our little one is born!
