    One of the bedrooms is very awkward with a huge twin jumeau that takes up the entire space. Which makes it impossible to walk around the bed, etc. Barely any room to undress or dress. Why was this chosen?

    Had a nice week in an acceptable cottage.

    There is no exterior blinds or air conditioning so the temperature inside rises to 26/27 degrees and cooling through open windows/doors is not pleasant due to lack of fly screens (though there was a heat wave when we were there).

    Area Appelscha is certainly beautiful with beautiful cycling routes right through the woods. The cottage is located on a bungalow park which is largely permanently inhabited. The cottage itself is nicely furnished, bedroom is very small (have to climb over the bed) and the bathroom leaves much to be desired (shower and toilet combined in small room and sink is in another room (1 double bedroom). Cottage was very clean and questions are immediately responded to and helped.

    Beds are great! (Even without a plastic layer ;)The back of the bed you can also easily reach through the foot end, you really don't have to climb over your partner as is described here a lot.Everything in the kitchen available which is useful; good pans, yes also a sharp knife, nespresso machine, trays/servings for small children, cleaning products. The sofa and chairs are lovely. Shower is small but fine. Bikes can be put under the shed by the shed; there is an outlet outside for charging electric bikes. TV works fine, wifi did not work, owner had immediately arranged for someone to come by, which later turned out not to be necessary. Improvements: make mosquito nets! It can get very hot and then you want to air, also for the stale air, but it is full of mosquitoes. Tip; bring your own mosquito netting, cut it to size and hang it up with thumbtacks as it was obvious that has been done many times before; use the same holes.

    Beautiful surroundings: from the cottage cross the main path on the park and follow the shell path along the lawn and you walk right into the forest. Many hiking, cycling and mtb routes. In Appelscha is a large bike store where you can rent bikes and mtb's. The park is quiet except for the barking of the dogs in the garden of the neighbors, but that is only when you walk by. The garden vedient some more attention; now only grass, tiles and weeds. Tip: no relaxing chairs or bbq outside, so it is better to bring your own if desired.
