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?
Eén van de slaapkamers is erg onhandig met een enorm lits-jumeau, dat de hele ruimte in beslag neemt. Waardoor je niet meer om het bed heen kunt lopen enz.
Amper plek om je uit- of aan te kleden. Waarom hiervoor gekozen is??Had a nice week in an acceptable cottage.
Hadden een leuke week in een acceptabel huisje.

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).
Er is geen buitenzonwering of airco waardoor de temperatuur binnen oploopt tot 26/27 graden en koelen door open ramen/deuren niet prettig is bij gebrek aan vliegenhorren.
(wel was er sprake van een hittegolf toen wij er waren).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.
Omgeving Appelscha is zeker mooi met mooie fietsroutes dwars door de bossen. Voor het hoogseizoen was het niet erg druk.
Het huisje ligt op een bungalowpark wat grotendeels permanent bewoond wordt. Hierdoor is er geen sprake van " rustig gelegen".
Het huisje zelf is keurig ingericht, slaapkamer is erg klein (over het bed moeten klimmen) en de badkamer laat te wensen over (douche en wc gecombineerd in kleine ruimte en wastafel bevindt zich in een andere ruimte (1 persoons slaapkamer).
Huisje was zeer schoon en op vragen wordt direct gereageerd en hulp geboden.This text is automatically translated. -

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.
Bedden liggen heerlijk! (Ook zonder plastic laagje ;)Het achterste plekje van het bed kan je ook makkelijk via het voeteneinde bereiken, je hoeft echt niet over je partner heen te klimmen zoals hier veel staat beschreven.
Alles in de keuken aanwezig wat handig is; goede pannen, ja ook een scherp mes, nespresso apparaat, bakjes/servies voor kleine kinderen, schoonmaakmiddelen. De bank en stoelen zitten heerlijk. Douche is klein maar prima. Fietsen kan je onder het afdakje zetten bij het schuurtje; er zit buiten een stopcontact voor het opladen van elek. fietsen. Tv werkt prima, wifi deed even niet, eigenaar had direct iemand geregeld om langs te komen, wat later niet meer nodig bleek te zijn.
Verbeter punten; horren maken! Het kan er erg warm worden en dan wil je luchten, ook voor de wat muffe lucht, maar het barst van de muggen. Tip; horrengaas zelf meenemen, op maat knippen en met punaises ophangen aangezien er duidelijk te zien was dat al vaak gedaan is; zelfde gaatjes gebruiken.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.
Prachtige omgeving: vanaf het huisje het hoofdpad op het park oversteken en het schelpenpaadje volgen langs het grasveld en je loopt zo het bos is. Veel wandel-, fiets- en mtb-routes. In Appelscha zit een grote fietswinkel waar je fietsen en mtb's kan huren. Ook het park is rustig op het geblaf van de honden in de tuin van de buren na; maar dat is alleen als je langsloopt.
De tuin vedient wel wat meer aandacht; nu alleen gras, tegels en onkruid. Een paar mooie vaste planten met bloemen zou al heel anders staan.
Tip; geen relax stoelen of bbq aanwezig buiten, dus die kan je beter zelf meenemen indien gewenst.This text is automatically translated.
